Inspiration

Students across universities face daily issues like broken furniture, poor Wi-Fi, messy classrooms, or unsafe areas — but reporting these problems is often confusing or ineffective. Tickets get lost, ignored, or forgotten with no updates or accountability. We wanted to fix this by giving students a simple way to report issues and track them transparently until resolved.

What it does

CampusFix is a fast, transparent campus issue reporting platform that allows students to:

  • Report problems with photos and location
  • Track issue status (New → In Progress → Resolved)
  • Receive real-time notifications on updates Campus maintenance staff get a dashboard to manage, prioritize, and resolve issues efficiently. It brings accountability and safety to the campus environment.

How we built it

We used Base44 to build:

  • A student ticket dashboard with dynamic progress tracking
  • A role-based admin panel for staff to filter and manage complaints
  • Photo upload and category-based reporting
  • Real-time notifications on ticket status changes The core goal was to make reporting frictionless and maintenance workflows organized.

Challenges we ran into

  • Ensuring clear communication between students and staff
  • Designing transparency without overwhelming maintenance teams
  • Handling images and issue categorization effectively
  • Maintaining a smooth experience across roles with different expectations

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • We created a fully trackable reporting system that promotes faster fixes
  • Built a gamified leaderboard for accountability among departments
  • Made the campus safer and more responsive to student needs
  • Designed a scalable prototype that any university can adopt quickly

What we learned

  • Transparency drives faster action and trust on campus
  • Students are more willing to report when the process is simple
  • Maintenance teams benefit from digital triaging and prioritization
  • Operational challenges can be solved through structured workflows + smart technology

What's next for CampusFix

  • QR-based instant reporting in classrooms and key areas
  • Heatmaps of issue hotspots to guide improvements
  • Analytics dashboard for university management
  • Gamification incentives for top-performing maintenance teams
  • Wider rollout across multiple campuses
