A mid-sized enterprise solutions provider required a robust business process automation platform to improve inter-departmental collaboration and workflow efficiency. Built over 6 months with ASP.NET Core, Angular, MySQL, and Materialize CSS, the platform supports real-time monitoring, centralized task tracking, and role-based access.

Deployed on AWS EC2/S3 with GitLab CI/CD integration and project management through JIRA, the solution enables scalable, secure, and responsive task management across the organization.

Business Objectives

• Automate manual workflows across departments to save time and improve efficiency.

• Enhance transparency, collaboration, and accountability via a centralized platform.

• Provide a responsive, user-friendly interface for task tracking, reporting, and progress monitoring.

• Ensure high performance, data reliability, and secure cloud hosting.

• Streamline DevOps processes using modern CI/CD pipelines.

Key Features & Deliverables

• Full-stack architecture: ASP.NET Core backend, Angular frontend, MySQL database.

• Task automation modules: Real-time tracking, progress monitoring, performance analytics.

• Modern UI: Materialize CSS for responsive, reusable, and engaging interfaces.

• Cloud deployment: AWS EC2 hosting, S3 for secure file storage.

• CI/CD pipelines: GitLab-managed automated builds, versioning, and deployment.
