Transforming Pet Camps with an Integrated Solution for Medical Treatments, Inventory Management and User Experience Enhancement

Introduction:

The client organizes weekend camps in certain parts of the U.S. states for pets, offering various medical treatments for pets along with their medication and vaccines. The client faced challenges in managing the documents manually. It was difficult to coordinate the staff and the user. Inventory tracking and maintaining a history of pets was a huge task for the client. Awareness about these camps was very low. The client envisioned a comprehensive solution built from the ground up, addressing issues related to inventory management, team coordination, and the impracticality of manual counting. The client came up with specific requirements including implementing notifications for upcoming vaccines, automated reminders for medication to users, and integrating multiple payment gateways (credit card, UPI, swipe) due to difficulties associated with cash transactions at the counter.

Solutions and Offerings:

In response to the client's challenges in managing weekend pet camps, we undertook a comprehensive solution leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including Blazor and .NET, coupled with app modernization and customized software development to enhance efficiency.

In crafting a comprehensive solution for the client's challenges in managing weekend pet camps, we employed a diverse set of cutting-edge technologies. Utilizing Blazor, a modern web framework, facilitated the development of dynamic and interactive user interfaces, ensuring a seamless and engaging experience for users. The .NET Core Web API was instrumental in building a scalable and efficient backend, enabling seamless data management, user interactions, and integrations. Integration of a SQL database addressed challenges in document management, inventory tracking, and pet history, providing robust data storage. Real-time communication within the platform was achieved through SignalR, enabling instant notifications, and enhancing user engagement. Gravity Payment integration offered secure and convenient payment processing options, including credit card, UPI, and swipe. The implementation of WebRTC allowed for real-time video meetings, facilitating virtual consultations between pet owners and veterinarians. App modernization involved migrating the existing system to a more efficient and scalable architecture, ensuring compatibility with the latest technologies. Customized software development addressed specific client requirements, resolving challenges related to manual processes, team coordination, and pet health tracking. Key features such as automated document management, real-time notifications, inventory tracking, payment gateway integration, and a user-friendly platform were successfully implemented to enhance the overall efficiency of the solution.

Challenges Faced:

The integration of Blazor and JavaScript introduced challenges during the development process, especially in implementing slider functionality, which added complexities to the overall system. Creating a user-friendly interface for doctors posed difficulties, specifically in accommodating their preference for auto-fill features to streamline workflow, necessitating careful implementation to meet their needs. Working with a legacy codebase presented obstacles, making the rearchitecting and refactoring processes challenging. Meticulous attention was required to maintain compatibility and enhance the overall performance of the system throughout these processes.
