How We Built a Livestock Booking Solution for ANZCO Foods

Before contacting Akveo, Astute Computer Consulting had started developing the web application for ANZCO with another party. The client engaged Akveo to do a review/audit as they were unhappy with certain aspects of the project.

Akveo did a full review of the current project and offered some recommendations. Astute reviewed these suggestions and ultimately decided to engage Akveo as the primary development partner.

Scope of Work

1. The web application development
2. Architecture consulting development of both the front-end and back-end
3. Production development
4. Code review

Solution

The main goal of the project was to develop the functionality of livestock booking. This platform helps to interact with livestock buyers, suppliers, transport coordinators, and others.

Livestock buyers can place bookings two weeks in advance, so the sales and operations team can use this info to optimize plant process plans.

As we joined the ongoing development phase, our team started with the code review and provided some recommendations to the client. Astute got acquainted with the ngx-admin dashboard and Nebular, so we could customize the dashboard, adding some up-to-date components such as Leaflet, FullCalendar, Smart Table, and others.

Also, we updated the current Angular stack to Angular 9. This implementation used a template-driven form instead of using Reactive, which was an older approach for building forms. As for the initial scope, we implemented the following:

• Integrated state management;
• OIDC configured for both an existing Auth0 and client Azure ADFS tenants including an HTTP interceptor for providing to the API;
• Reviewed Role Providers and Permissions Guards;
• Created simple CRUD forms.

Then we expanded our engagement and provided architecture consulting on the back-end as well.

The project is made in cooperation with Astute Computing.
