Implementation of a Database Structure for Registration of Fire Teams

Looking to develop a robust database structure for team management in 45 days? We’ve got you covered.

A dynamic firefighting solutions company approached us with a pressing need: to streamline the management of fire team schedules, leaves, sick days, and days off. They sought a robust data model and system to handle these complexities seamlessly.

Our team of passionate developers rose to the challenge of implementing a database structure for team management! 

Cutting-edge Technologies

React, Node.js, TypeScript, MySQL, AWS, and Docker.

Challenges

1. Designing a data model to support intricate scheduling requirements, including managing shift leaves and assigning payment codes with detailed codes.
2. Supporting split shifts, where up to three firefighters working diverse schedules could occupy a single position, added a layer of complexity.
3. Creating a database structure and data models to efficiently register fire teams and apparatus associations while ensuring flexibility and scalability.
4. Developing a system that allowed for seamless reassignment of shifts, permissions management, and robust authentication.

Solutions Implemented

1. Crafted a flexible data model and database structure to support complex scheduling needs, enabling the registration of fire teams and apparatus associations.
2. Created default templates to display firefighters associated with apparatuses daily, facilitating efficient scheduling and assignment.
3. Implemented features for reassigning shifts, managing permissions, and assigning payment codes with detailed codes, enhancing operational efficiency.
4. Enabled ongoing feature development by deploying a flexible and scalable system, laying the foundation for future innovations and enhancements with mocked data initially to enable agile development, ensuring continuous progress until the backend system was fully functional.

This boosted stakeholder confidence by delivering a comprehensive database system that instilled a sense of control and reliability in managing fire team schedules.

Empowered the firefighting company to offer end-users a more agile and efficient solution, enhancing operational effectiveness and responsiveness.
