Exhibition Freighting Database
|

Exhibition Freighting Ltd are an international logistics company specialising
in shipping large items for display at trade shows around the world.
They had a database that tracked these items but required more data to be
captured and additional functionality such as invoicing, emailing, and other
documentation generation.
All employees can access the database as it is held on a local server. The
system is based on an
Access database with a Visual Basic front end.
Similar to the EF-Travel Web based system Exhibition Freighting can add and
edit Clients, Exhibitions, Agents and suppliers to the database.
All documents produced by the system contain a user signature and are saved
every action is logged by date time and user ID. There is a management system
built into the program that allows managers to check the activity of staff on
the database.
Invoices are generated automatically based on a previously entered tariff,
weight volume and number of items shipped. This can be manually overwritten if
required by the users.
New updates to the program are remotley uploaded to their local server and
each time a user starts the program it checks for updates which if available are
automatically downloaded to the users machine and installed restarting the
program without user interaction.
