The system will allow to feed a company's audit cycles into a database using an HTML based web front-end, and to remind the responsible person(s) of each audit that becomes due by sending out emails. The system tracks all the audits in its database and sends out email notifications when an audit deadline approaches, when the audit becomes due and when it has become overdue without being handled. It also provides the possibility to enter a correction cycle when the auditing was done but the result was negative. The correction cycle also has a set of notifications that are sent out when the certain time limits are reached.

Vehicle mentainance and overhaul contracts tracking system
Software Service Provider
Industry:
Automobile
Technologies:
PHP, FileMaker Server 11, FileMaker API for PHP, HTML, JQuery, CSS & JavaScript
This is a website developed in PHP that communicates with a FileMaker database system hosted at FileMaker 11 Server. The client has a FileMaker database system which is used to keep track of the periodic maintenance on vehicles and the contracts. It tracks all contract and warranty related defects for assistance in managing inspections, identifying trends in managing warranties, penalties and rewards on any rail equipment contract. The system also tracks the penalties and rewards associated with equipment related contracts.
The system is being accessed by the desktop users by using FileMaker Pro 11 and also the system has web users who access the system by opening webpage in web browsers. Formerly the web access was done by using FileMaker Instant Web Publishing solution, which was too slow to access and resulting performance issues as the data in the database grow day by day. As a solution to the slower web accessibility, Mindfire has built a cross browser compatible web application using PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JQuery technologies which has highly improved access speed as compared to the former IWP solution. The website communicates to the FileMaker database system using FileMaker API for PHP to fetch, add and update the data. The website has a user login form that validates the login information that matches the FileMaker account names and passwords of the database. After successful login the user is taken to his dashboard where s/he can see an overview of all the tags and contracts added by the current user. The list view of tags has been pulled and shown from database using Ajax driven JQuery Grid. An advanced search form is provided in the dashboard web page with the ability to filter the list view grid based on several find criteria. The user can add new tags or contracts to the system directly from the web site. The user can view/edit the tag record detail by clicking on a tag row in the grid, which will show the tag detail information form in a web interface. The web application also provides a reporting ability to the web users. The user can export the filtered rows in the grid to an Excel and PDF format files.
