Current Scenario
The mail operations right from booking to delivery works in an offline mode. The nodes communicate with the central server through a client for exchange of data.
Also in rural areas internet connectivity is very low due to which people are not able to track their consignment. Moreover, at the post-office the internet connectivity fluctuates very frequently due to which offline maintenance of data is mandatory.
Implemented Solution
A comprehensive framework to integrate the entire mail operations right from booking to delivery into an online system which can handle connectivity disturbances:
-> A web application and an android mobile application enabling the customers to get the status of their consignment.
-> A USSD application enabling the customers to track their consignment in case of no internet connection.
-> A desktop application for managing and administrating the various operations in the post-office which works in an offline mode.
-> A web application for various post office server operations where there is no internet fluctuation.
