To create the website, I used a pre-designed template (made on react) for the front part, which is what users see. However, for the Backend work and the Database, I built everything from scratch. Initially, this project was quite challenging because the company had five types of users, and each one had a different role.

Here’s how it works: Firstly, there’s the main owner of the website, known as the franchisor. Below the franchisor, there are different franchises, and each franchise has its managers, workers, and dealers. Workers and managers can add, edit, or remove services for different clients’ cars. Managers can also oversee the services done by other workers. Dealers, on the other hand, can only see what’s happening in their specific dealership, such as sales and services. Workers and managers can also record their daily attendance, which helps the franchise owner calculate the hours they’ve worked.

To make things even smoother, I set up some automatic checks on the server to ensure that if someone forgot to “clock out” when they finished work, the system would do it for them automatically. I also created comprehensive reports for tracking time, service records, and comparing different franchises and clients. Both franchises and the main owner (franchisor) have the ability to manage users and clients.

In simple terms, the website acts as an internal management system for the company. Owners can keep an eye on things like sales, salaries, and clients, and generate weekly and monthly reports. The client already had the landing page for the website in place, and my role involved making some minor improvements to it. Chris, my client, is extremely pleased with the results of my work.

To build the website, I used a React Template for the front end, MongoDB for the database, and Node JS for the back end. Finally, I Deployed the website on AWS Hosting.
