TryPot (Pty) Ltd is a successful Johannesburg based vehicle company that has numerous recovery vehicle depots around the country. Due to the number of depots, TryPot (Pty) Ltd management needs an information system to manage the manual business processes and workflows that are currently in place. You are appointed as part of a project team that will implement a new Vehicle Tracking Management System to run the depots. All the depots are managed from the Johannesburg Head Office where the Vehicle Inspector receives recovered vehicle requests (from the Insurance Company or Vehicle Owners) and sends them to the Manager for verification. As part of the verification process, the Manager verifies vehicle details and driver details before issuing a request approval. Approved requests are sent to the Depot and rejection notes are send back to the Vehicle Inspector by the Manager. At the Depot, the approved vehicle requests are received, vehicle availability checks are done before the vehicle is released to the driver for delivery to the Insurance Company or Vehicle Owner. A driver can only be assigned one vehicle and a request can be for one or more recovered vehicles. Vehicle details that are verified include the model, vehicle registration number, last service date, depot name and status. TryPot (Pty) Ltd wants the Vehicle Tracking Management System to automate all the manual processes and work on numerous devices including smart phones and tablets. There is also a requirement for the user interface to adopt company’s theme and clearly display company logo for brand awareness. As part of the many requirements, it is TryPot (Pty) Ltd’s wish for the system to always be online, be highly responsive and secure with tight access control mechanisms in place. Jan Pilser is the Managing Director and he oversees the daily operations with his Financial Director Sally Joubert and the company has the City of Johannesburg Municipality as one of the customers. Due to the nature of the tracking business the development team is forced to pay attention and apply strict rules around all forms of software testing. TryPot (Pty) Ltd uses open source software for most of their internal software development initiatives.
