Challenge

To develop client’s vision into an application that would simplify their monitoring and installation needs was a cumbersome task. The client approached TatvaSoft with an ideology to develop a portal that can provide an automated system to notify its user for installation and monitoring of meters. TatvaSoft's team of skilled Java develops ideated an outline for the project and developed an emerging solution that was named ‘Utility Portal’ that streamlined clients’ business at multiple levels and accelerated their processes. For the development of “Utility Portal”, the business had some prime requirements such as:

Implement the functionality in the proposed solution for auto-updating of the update status according to the collected data of DC and Endpoint installation.
Implement the feature which can replace the existing manual process i.e. any fault in site/region/EP/DC is been notified via call, so it takes so many manual processes to fix the fault.
Manage all the analytical reports and bills which were generated manually and notified to the respective consumer via paper.
Implement the features in the solution which replace the manual User management process.
