Problem
Statement
Prior to the development of the CFMOTO portal, the automotive business faced several operational challenges due to the reliance on fragmented, manual systems. Key difficulties included
Vehicle Inventory Management
– EThere was no centralized system for tracking vehicle records across various departments.
Service Tracking
– Service history and tracking were cumbersome and prone to errors, making it difficult for all users to stay updated.
Communication Gaps
– Communication between admins, dealers, and servicemen was inefficient, with messages often lost or delayed due to using multiple platforms or manual processes.
As a result, businesses struggled with inefficiencies, delays, and errors in reporting, making the need for an integrated, centralized system crucial.
Solution
The solution was to develop the CFMOTO Laravel Web Portal, providing an intuitive platform with specialized modules for each user group.
Admin Module: To manage vehicle inventories, users, services, and generate reports.
Dealer Module: To handle vehicle records and communicate with the admin.
Serviceman Module: To manage services performed on vehicles and access notifications from admins and dealers.
The portal was built on Laravel, chosen for its robust features, scalability, and security.
