| Openwave came up with a solution that integrated the complex workflows of the Client like automating the haul recording and tracking system, optimizing hauls and tracking payments. As there was a complex flow of data on hauls, charges etc and the haul details directly affecting the cost of operations, Ruby on Rails framework was implemented rather than Java EE or .NET, so as to make changes to the model directly and observe the results without having to set up every part of getting that data propagated throughout the rest of the system. Furthermore, due to the complex interface where a User like Data Entry Operator or Accounting Personnel had to enter a lot of information based on a range of information like truck/trailer details, route details, commodities and fuel consumption, Ajax was used to make quick and incremental updates to the User Interface without having to reload the entire browser page for this application. |
