Project Area of Specialization Computer ScienceProject Summary

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is the integrated management of main business processes, often in real time and mediated by software and technology.

ERP is usually referred to as a category of business management software—typically a suite of integrated applications—that an organization can use to collect, store, manage, and interpret data from many business activities.

ERP provides an integrated and continuously updated view of core business processes using common databases maintained by a database management system. ERP systems track business resources—cash, raw materials, production capacity—and the status of business commitments: orders, purchase orders, and payroll. The applications that make up the system share data across various departments (manufacturing, purchasing, sales, accounting, etc.) that provide the data. ERP facilitates information flow between all business functions and manages connections to outside stakeholders.

Enterprise system software is a multibillion-dollar industry that produces components supporting a variety of business functions. IT investments have, as of 2011, become one of the largest categories of capital expenditure in United States-based businesses. Though early ERP systems focused on large enterprises, smaller enterprises increasingly use ERP systems.

The ERP system integrates varied organizational systems and facilitates error-free transactions and production, thereby enhancing the organization's efficiency. However, developing an ERP system differs from traditional system development. ERP systems run on a variety of computer hardware and network configurations, typically using a database as an information repository.

Scope of the Project:

An integrated system
Operates in (or near) real time
A common database that supports all the applications
A consistent look and feel across modules
Installation of the system with elaborate application/data integration by the Information Technology (IT) department, provided the implementation is not done in small steps.
Deployment options include on-premises, cloud hosted, or SaaS.

Project Objectives

Industry Objectives

Improve Service Experience

One of the enterprise resource planning objectives is to improve service experience in businesses. Most traditional businesses suffered untimely windup due to poor service experience among customers. Customers were subjected to long queues and sometimes failed to receive their merchandise despite making payments. Many businesses could not get it right with order and invoice processing.

Enhance Competitiveness

ERP was designed to help businesses achieve competitiveness through eliminating redundant work processes and getting things done at the scheduled time without delay. Some ERP users have achieved competitiveness through improved communication with their clients.

Improve Operating Efficiency

Every ERP user talks about achieving the desired level of efficiency. ERP objective of improving operating efficiency has been manifested through various system packages that have ensured a continuous flow of work processes, information flow, and supply chain transparency. Different ERP users have a different level of efficiency desired out of every business process. One of the ways in which ERP systems have addressed this objective is through streamlining every business process with the set goals to ensure every process runs smoothly.

Automate Business Solutions

ERP was designed to automate various business processes. In the past, most business processes required manual input to jump start the next phase. In the contemporary business environment, there is no time lag. Users have been able to automate various business processes achieving maximum production, service delivery and information processing that facilitates informed decision-making

Modernize Business System and Processes

ERP promised an enhance business system and processes that will reflect the current state of technological development. It has ensured that business processes and systems match the recent technological advancement to reap maximum benefits from every innovation.

Academic Objectives

As this is a completely alien project for us, so we need to learn some Theoretical Concepts to make this project successful, Similarly, to implement this project we must to learn some advanced technologies, before hand. These include REACT, NODE jS. , Express Js etc.

Project Implementation Method

We are working on web based application and until now we have developed the WebApi, React App and and mysql database. Below is the description of each project in detail:

WebAPI:

Controllers:

In webAPI, we have developed certain controllers which are responsible for controlling the way that a user interacts with an MVC application. A controller contains the flow control logic for an ASP.NET MVC application. A controller determines what response to send back to a user when a user makes a browser request. Following are controllers that we have developed so far:

AgentController

AccountController

AreasController

CategoriesController

CityController

DistributionController

HomeController

ProductController

ProductRequestController

RouteController

ShopController

ValuesController

WarehouseController

Above of the all controllers are responsible to determine what response to send back to a user when a user makes a browser request. Nearly all the controllers contain the CRUD(Create, Read, Update and Delete).

Models:

The model classes represents domain-specific data and business logic in the MVC application. It represents the shape of the data as public properties and business logic as methods. We have made following models until now:

Agent

Area

Categories

City

Distribution

Product

ProductRequest

Route

Shop

Warehouse

Benefits of the Project

Benefits of the Project:

Multi-tenant ERP system means a single instance of the software serves the multiple customers. Each user is called a tenant. They are given the ability to customize some part of the application like UI etc. but they can not customize the application code.

In multi-tenant ERP system, multiple instances of an application operate in a shared environment. This works because each tenant is integrated physically, but logically they are separated; means that a single instance of the software will run on the server and serve multiple tenants.

ERP system refers to a type of software that organizations use to manage day-to-day business activities such as accounting, procurement, project management, risk management and compliance, and supply chain operations. A complete ERP suite also includes enterprise performance management, software that helps plan, budget, predict, and report on an organization’s financial results. ERP systems tie together a multitude of business processes and enable the flow of data between them. By collecting an organization’s shared transnational data from multiple sources, ERP systems eliminate data duplication and provide data integrity with a single source of truth. Today, ERP systems are critical for managing thousands of businesses of all sizes and in all industries. To these companies, ERP is as indispensable as the electricity that keeps the lights on.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Discovery:

In discovery we will discover why we need a multi-tenant erp system, the vision and scope of the multi-tenant erp system so first we will start with the need;

Because single tenant erp systems are very much costly and their updation is done separately and many other reasons the need of multi-tenant erp system arises because they are less costly and updation is done very simply and only once. These are the main reasons for multi-tenant erp systems of course there are other reasons as well.

Our vision is to fulfill the requirements of all the tenants that are using our services. The scope of the project I have discussed earlier so no need to discuss it here.

Plan & Monitor:

In this we will discuss the developing strategy to complete the work and measure the progress and take correct action as required. We will first gather the requirements and make the wireframe of the project in any software like pencil Justin mind etc. Then we will complete the database. And finally we will start developing the project in react js and asp.net.

As we are developing the project we are also monitoring the project and measure the progress to take any decision regarding the project.

Analyze:

In this stage we will gathering the detailed requirements and analyze the business requirements of the clients. So in this we are having the detail of everything that what are the main or functional requirements of the clients and have analyze things that how we can fulfill them.

Build:

After gathering business requirements and analyzing everything then we start building the tasks identified in the strategy. Like start making the wireframes in Justin mind, then database design and then start making web api and front end in react js.

Stabilize:

In this stage we will see if our software meets the clients requirements are not and is ready for deployment or not. If the software is not fulfilling the requirements of the clients then we will have to go through all those stages again to fulfill the requirements of the clients. Once the requirements of the clients are fulfilled then our project is ready for deployment.

Deploy:

Then we will deploy our project.
