Project Summary

Zealous System developed a cloud-based reporting solution for an environmental consultancy that captures field data via Android and iOS apps and stores it in a MySQL web portal which generates auto-produced reports. The system eliminated manual data entry and streamlined reporting processes for government and consultancy clients, contributing to approximately $85,000 in generated business. The vendor provided collaborative project management, regular communication via Google Sheets and Skype, and maintained a small, consistent team.

Key Challenges

Move away from paper-based systems to reduce time and human error
Automate report generation and data entry to improve on-site and in-office efficiency
Adopt a solution that provides a competitive advantage in an industry that rarely uses this method at scale

Project Deliverables

Android and iOS mobile apps
MySQL-based web portal
Cloud-based reporting system
Auto-generated report generation and export (PDF/Excel)
Mail-merge web portal integration with government system

Project Solution

They built a cloud-based reporting system with Android and iOS mobile apps to capture data on site and transfer it to a server. Data is stored in a MySQL-based web portal that generates reports and allows clients secure access to files, with options to download, upload, and export data in PDF or Excel formats. The vendor implemented mail-merge features and integrated the portal with external government systems, and collaborated through a small dedicated team using Google Sheets and weekly Skype calls.

Project Outcome

Generated around $85,000 in new business
Enabled delivery of 15,000 building reports (out of ~90,000) by automating and speeding report production
Integrated a mail-merge web portal with the New South Wales government system to automate report downloads
