Vehicle Service Tracking

PROJECT DETAILS

Efficiently managing an automotive repair shop requires a well-structured system to track services, manage customer records, and ensure an efficient workflow. To meet these needs, I developed Araç Servis Takip, a C# Forms Application designed to provide comprehensive service tracking for automotive repair businesses. In this article, I'll share my development process, the challenges faced, and key insights. Technology Stack and Architecture The project was built using a robust and scalable technology stack: C# (Windows Forms Application): Provided a robust and user-friendly desktop application framework. .NET Framework: Ensured stability and compatibility for Windows systems. MySQL: Used to securely store customer records, service histories, and inventory details. Backend (C# & MySQL) The backend was designed to handle customer records, vehicle service logs, and inventory management. The system ensures service tracking through structured database entries and automated report generation. Frontend (Windows Forms Application) The user interface was built using Windows Forms, offering a simple and intuitive layout for managing customers, services, and spare parts inventory. Users could easily enter vehicle service details, track ongoing repairs, and generate invoices. Database (MySQL) MySQL was used to store customer information, vehicle history, service records, and spare parts inventory. Proper indexing and query optimizations were applied to ensure fast and efficient data retrieval. Challenges and Solutions Service History Management: To ensure accurate record-keeping, I implemented a detailed service log system that tracks past repairs and maintenance schedules. Inventory Tracking: The system includes a module that manages spare parts stock, preventing shortages and optimizing inventory levels. User Access Control: Role-based access control was implemented to ensure only authorized personnel could modify service records and inventory data. Conclusion Developing Araç Servis Takip was a great opportunity to enhance my expertise in C# application development and database management.
