TireSwift

_ Inspiration _

Our inspiration for this challenge was our deep interest for the subject. Data visualization, data entry, Security, playing around with smaller database files, along with creating proper FrontEnd Design for the clients fueled us to try SAP's challenge. Making a frontend mixed with a backend offered numerous creative ways to build a strong and durable website!

What it does

Our innovative solution reads in an csv file, print a well-designed calendar. It allows the control of users/admin through MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) and can hold it within a database. Along with an integrated Calendar, it displays a scheduler for some tire change shops. With multiple stations, the algorithm within the BackEnd analyzes the data. It returns total revenue and potential revenue lost.

How we built it

The front end is made with industrial leading API and packages. We explored several UI Components/techniques, such as React, Tailwind and Clerk. This allowed us to efficiently manipulate data from the website. The backend is completely integrated with Python, in an effort to practice ourselves with this language much used in the fields of Data Science.

Challenges we ran into

The notorious frustration from running into problems slowed us down. Seemingly multiple different algorithms implemented, the fatigue accumulated from testing the UX/UI components, and the unpleasant experiences when connecting backend and frontend nearly brought us down. Regardless, we had to persevere through this competition, amidst these struggles.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to solve a major part of SAP's problem. We were able to utilize captivating UI components, and precise backend connection. This allowed our code runs smoothly and efficiently, despite the size of the data and the amount of computation is required.

What we learned

From learning system programming to refreshing old memory on python, We've honed our skills and learned different technology. Whilst some of us learned discovered the beauty of Web Design, others were enthralled with the building of APIs and how it connects to a landing page on a website. In short, our knowledge for several programming fields has grown quite large.For instance, ReactJs with the use of Tailwind CSS and Node.Js.

What's next for Tire Swift

Looking at it, our project is definitely available for multiple enhancements. More particularly within the backend field that would complement the website. For example, the development of several series data, such as Time Series, would definitely prove to be useful. Indeed, companies may want to know the specific date points where customers change their tires more. Thus, with a scores of possibilities, we wish to earn/understand more about web APIs and Data Science.
