Innovaccer's SummerGeeks 2020 Assignment

Description

This is an entry management software as a part of Innocaccer's SummerGeeks 2020. Multiple clients can use this application with each client having exclusive access to only his data. Here, you can maintain the list of host/employees and manage visitor entry/exit system. You can the past and presently running entries in the app itself.

Compatible Platforms - Android OS

Backend - Firebase NoSQL

Other APIs - JAVAMail (for auto mailing using JAVA), FirebaseAuthentication (for Email & Password) based authentication

Approach

This is an entry management software requiring basic initial configurations.

First inference taken out of the assignment is to make the data independent for multiple clients. That is suppose Innovaccer and some other company is using this app. Then innovacer can only view its data and other company can only view its data.

Second inference taken out of the problem statement is that adding hosts will be a part of initial configuration. Visitor only need to choose the host rather than entering the host details.

Third inference is that this will be a public register meaning each visitor won't have to authenticate itself.
