Front Office 2.0 is my current programming project. As such, it is a work in progress and not all features are implemented.

Purpose

A local car wash business chain with multiple locations has a proprietary database software package written in an old database management system. The system is used to run a wash loyalty program where customers can gain benefits from loading money onto and using a special credit-card-like card. The database program polls card readers on the lots for swipes, receives the card numbers, and checks the user’s account on the database and starts the wash if applicable. The system is synced across multiple car wash locations.

This system is now halting upgrades to bring the computers at the washes up to modern standards and is preventing the company from moving to the forefront of car wash technology. The program I am now writing, Front Office 2.0, will replace that program and enable the business to prosper into the future.

Features

• A cloud database is used to store data that will also be synced offline in case of the loss of the internet connection.
• Simple weather display.
• Link to the Miracle Car Wash business website.
• A card monitor that polls an RS485 network of bar code card readers constantly and displays them in an easy-to-read manner.
• MDB uploader to upload the old database file to Google Cloud FireStore.
• Password-protected program to interact with customer data on the cloud database. This section includes the ability to query for customers, look at card histories, reissue cards, and other actions.
• DDE interactor that interacts with a SCADA software to start the washes.
• Created using the Gradle build system.
• Designed with the Metro UI Design Language in mind.
