C. Challenges in Developing One-Stop Solutions

Integration of Services: Merging various services (transportation, accommodation, local guides) into a cohesive platform is complex.

 

III. REQUIREMENTS

A. Function and Non-Functional Requirements

There are a number of processes that are vital in establishing the efficacy of assimilation of a system or a software project in what is referred to as a requirement’s analysis. Requirements are generally divided into two groups: Functional and non-functional requirements.
 

B. Functional Requirements

The end user will always have certain baseline requirements that they must be met by the software, and these are referred to as functional requirements. All of these functions must be included in the software as a contractual obligation. These are expressed or defined out in terms of the data that is to be entered in the system, the action taken in the system and the results achieved.

 

C. Functional Requirements Examples

1. Whenever user logs into the system, he/she has to go through an authentication process.
2. Call system in case of cyber attack.

These are the largely constraints that the system is required to meet as per the provisions of the contract of the project. The level of implementation of these varies from project to project. Also non-functional.

 

These requirements mostly address questions relating to:

•              Portability

•              Security

•              Maintainability

•              Reliability

•              Scalability

•              Performance

•              Reusability

•              Flexibility

 

D. Non – functional Requirements some Examples Include

1. These activities should have the duration of no longer than 12 hours when sending an email.
2. Each and every request should be processed and completed within 10 seconds.
3. If there are more than 10000 simultaneous users, the site should respond and load in 3 seconds.

 

E. Hardware Requirements

•              Processor -    I3/Intel Processor.

•              RAM -     8 GB.

•              Hard - 1TB.

 

F. Software Requirements

•              Operatiing -  Windows10   

•              JDK- Java.

•              Plugin -Kotlin.

•              SDK- Android.

•              IDE- Android studio.

•              Database- MySQL with php.

G. User Interface Design

1) Admin Interface

The administrator interface consists of a dashboard from which a variety of tasks can be performed including managing users, data of inspection bookings, assigning tasks to workers and even supervise the progress of the respective inspection.

 

2) User Interface

The interface is easy to use and is self-explanatory making it easy for users to create accounts along with booking inspections and being able to view their request status.

 

3) Worker Interface

The worker’s interface allows the workers to login, see the tasks assigned by admins and change the status of inspections once they are completed.

 

H. Inspection Process Workflow

1) Booking Process

Tea inspection can be booked by users through the mobile application and they can freely provide the information necessary that includes preferred date, location and type of the inspection required.

 

2) Task Assignment

All the needs for inspections along with the information provided during the booking are then reviewed. After, the admins assign workers with the tasks according to their availability.

 

I. Existing System

Existing systems for managing hotels, events, and cabs are often fragmented, requiring users to navigate multiple platforms for bookings. These systems typically lack centralization, leading to inefficiencies in service discovery and management. Admins and service providers face challenges in updating offerings, while users experience a lack of streamlined access to services, resulting in a less efficient experience. 4o

 

J. Disadvantages

•              Fragmented platforms create inefficiencies in booking and service discovery.

•              Admins struggle with updating offerings across multiple, disconnected systems.

•              Users face challenges accessing centralized services for seamless booking experiences
