Client

A logistics service provider seeking to streamline the process of generating and managing Electronic Way Bills (EwayBills) in compliance with government regulations.

Service Provided

End-to-end development of an EwayBill management system that allows users to generate, update, extend, and cancel EwayBills in bulk with additional functionality for barcode and QR code generation for easy tracking and compliance.

Technologies

MVC 5, C#, Web API 2.0, AngularJS 2.0, JavaScript, MySQL 6.0, Entity Framework 6.0, Automation

Project Overview

Eway Bills aimed to simplify the process of generating Electronic Way Bills, a necessary document for the transportation of goods in accordance with government regulations. The system offered functionalities similar to the government’s portal but introduced an efficient bulk operation feature. The key advantage of this system was its ability to generate multiple EwayBills, including their printed versions with barcodes and QR codes, all with a single click.

This bulk generation saved significant time for logistics companies, ensuring they could process multiple transport orders simultaneously while staying compliant with government norms. The platform also allowed for quick updates, extensions, and cancellations of the EwayBills

Challenges

• Bulk Generation: Implementing the ability to handle multiple Eway Bills in one click without compromising system performance or accuracy.
• Compliance: Ensuring that all generated Eway Bills were fully compliant with government norms and could serve as valid, trackable documents.
• Real-time Updates: The system needed to process updates, extensions, and cancellations in real time, ensuring all documents remained valid and traceable.
• Automation of Printing: Automating the printing of Eway Bills with barcodes and QR codes in bulk, ensuring that all documents were identical to government-validated ones.
• Efficient Data Management: Managing large amounts of data related to transportation and ensuring that the system could scale with increasing usage.

Solution Delivered

• Developed a highly scalable and efficient Eway Bill management system using MVC 5 and C#, with the backend powered by MySQL 6.0 and Entity Framework 6.0 to store and manage transportation data.
• Implemented a bulk generation feature that allowed users to generate multiple Eway Bills at once, saving time and reducing manual input efforts. The printed bills contained barcodes and QR codes identical to those on the government’s portal.
• Integrated real-time updates for the extension, cancellation, and modification of Eway Bills to ensure continuous compliance.
• Automated the printing of multiple Eway Bills with the required codes, making the documentation process smooth and efficient.
• The platform allowed the client to scale the system as their business grew, handling increased requests and Eway Bill generations without performance degradation.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Project Leader: Defined project goals, managed a team, and ensured milestones were achieved on time.
• Requirement Gathering: Collaborated with the business owner to capture all requirements, ensuring effective communication and documentation of features.
• Technology Decisions: Made key technology choices, such as selecting MVC 5, Web API 2.0, and AngularJS 2.0, for building a robust, scalable system. Chose MySQL 6.0 and Entity Framework 6.0 for reliable data handling.
• Team Management: Led the development team, ensuring smooth execution of tasks, code reviews, and delivering the solution as per client expectations.
• API Development and Integration: Involved in building and integrating APIs to connect various modules and ensure efficient data flow between the desktop and web-based components.

Outcome

• Delivered a streamlined Eway Bill management system that significantly improved the efficiency of generating, managing, and printing Eway Bills.
• Reduced the time needed to process Eway Bills through the bulk generation feature, allowing users to perform multiple actions with a single click.
• The system’s real-time update capability ensured compliance with government norms at all times, preventing potential disruptions in logistics operations.
• The introduction of barcode and QR code-enabled printed bills helped logistics businesses easily track and verify transport documentation.
• Provided a scalable solution that could handle increasing demand and additional users, supporting future growth for the client.
