Key Challenges
Expanding and opening up branches prompted the owners to form multiple teams and departments who could look after
working at different branches. The company has a centralized database on which employees at different branches
perform data posting/query operations. A well-defined structure of the access control mechanism was required so
that working at one branch does not affect the working at another branch. Moreover to cut competition within the
branches it was necessary that one branch could only check the availability of product at another branch but not the
price at which it is being sold to a customer of that particular branch. Multiple branches & product lines generated a
massive chunk of customer data which, as they grow, could make the system slower in performing data entry/query operations.
This holds true in cases where multiple users are working concurrently on the same database. So the system had to scale up
to growing data & concurrent usage accordingly while maintaining its speed and accuracy. When a database is open to many users,
data security also becomes a threat. Primary requirements of the company from the software were:
- Management of inventory in multiple branches as per product-specific parameters like IMEI numbers & serial.
- Real-time knowledge of available stock at different branches.
- Definition of access rights for employees in different branches.
- Handling voluminous data
- Maintaining speed & accuracy when operating on huge customer data.
