Abstract
Table of Contents
Regular vehicle servicing helps vehicle owners prevent unexpected vehicular malfunctions. Identifying vehicle problems at an early stage is essential before they’ll turn into significant issues. Vehicle owners tend to visit vehicle garages to enquire about vehicle servicing. Vehicle mechanics check the vehicle’s vital components and repair issues to ensure that they are in good shape and will not fail unexpectedly.
The researchers conducted the study to assess how vehicle service shops or garages perform daily operations and transactions. The researchers gather initial data and found out that most vehicle shops or garage still uses manual processes in handling their day-to-day transactions. Recording of customer records, monitoring of vehicle repair progress, vehicle service updates, transactions with clients, and billing are still done manually. Continuous use of manual methods will slow the operation and response time of the garage to the inquiries of the customers. The researchers have seen the need to upgrade the way how vehicle servicing garage operates. Inlined with this, the researchers aim to develop a Vehicle Service Management System using Django.
The capstone project, “Vehicle Service Management System in Django” will automate the operations and day-to-day transactions of the vehicle servicing garage. The system will electronically streamline processes including managing vehicle service orders, keeping maintenance records, managing customer records, and transaction records, servicing updates, and billing.
The implementation of the system will both benefit vehicle garages and customers. For vehicle garages, utilizing the system to operate the business will help them grow and increase business efficiency. For customers, they can easily and conveniently make transactions for vehicle servicing.
Introduction
The capstone project, entitled “Vehicle Service Management System in Django” is designed for vehicle service management automation.
