Planning system for the car industry

For a medium-sized Danish firm of haulage contractors Presys has completed a planning system for bus traffic. Presys took over the system from another consultancy. The system manages everything concerning the planning of bus traffic from receipt of order, distribution of carriages via fax, driving schemes, resource planning/management of carriages and drivers, price management and invoicing. Presys changed the system from Paradox to Oracle due to the large amount of data. Then Presys optimized the Oracle database so that the system now runs faster than it did with the Paradox databases, despite considerably larger amounts of data.

Size: App. 3/4 man-year.

Tools: Delphi, Visual C++, SQL, Oracle and Paradox

Four developers were assigned the task and they are in charge of all maintenance.
