Project Description

Client Overview

Our client, a software consulting firm based in the USA, was tasked with revamping the Management Information System (MIS) for a rapidly growing driver education business in Texas. This business provided driving classes for teens, adults, and corporate clients and had expanded through multiple franchises. The existing system handled some basic functions, but the client needed a more comprehensive solution to manage daily operations efficiently.

Problem Statement

The driving school’s existing MIS lacked the flexibility and features needed to manage the growing business effectively. Key challenges included inefficient scheduling, manual student progress tracking, and limited reporting capabilities. The client required a new system that would:

  • Enhance automation and reduce manual workload.

  • Provide better scheduling and tracking for students, instructors, and vehicles.

  • Integrate financial reporting and subscription management.

  • Offer a scalable solution to support multiple franchises.

Proposed Solution

Our team collaborated closely with the client to analyze the business processes and design an optimized solution. Using the waterfall model, we developed a robust MIS that automates and centralizes driving school operations. The new system was built to accommodate different user roles, including students, instructors, managers, and administrators.
