[Audio] The new Attendance Management System will be used by all employees, heads of departments, directors, and human resources personnel. This system replaces traditional paper-based methods of tracking employee attendance. The current process involves using paper-based chits which require manual approval from supervisors, taking approximately two to three days. Additionally, this method generates a large volume of paperwork resulting in over 500 sheets per month. In contrast, the proposed solution utilizes a mobile application developed with Flutter and integrated with Firebase, providing real-time approval and approval within hours rather than days. Furthermore, the system has been designed to work seamlessly on both iOS devices via Progressive Web App (PWA). This results in a significant reduction in paperwork and improves efficiency..

[Audio] We will now discuss the technical architecture and stack of our application. Our frontend is built using Flutter, which allows us to create responsive user interfaces. In addition, we are implementing Progressive Web App support. On the backend, we are using Firebase for authentication, cloud Firestore for data storage, and cloud messaging for notifications. This stack enables us to deliver a scalable and efficient application. Let's take a closer look at each component and how they work together. We will start with the frontend, where we are using Flutter to build our user interface. Next, we will discuss the backend, where we are utilizing Firebase for various services. Finally, we will explore how these components interact with each other. By understanding the technical architecture and stack, we can better appreciate the design decisions made and the trade-offs involved. This knowledge will also enable us to make informed decisions when faced with technical challenges. Let's begin by examining the frontend, where we are using Flutter to create our user interface. With Flutter, we can build responsive and engaging user interfaces that work seamlessly across various devices. Our choice of Flutter is driven by its ability to deliver fast and efficient applications. Additionally, Flutter's hot reload feature allows us to quickly test and iterate on our code. On the backend, we are using Firebase to handle authentication, data storage, and messaging. Firebase provides a scalable and secure solution for these services, allowing us to focus on building our application. By leveraging Firebase, we can reduce the complexity of our application and improve its overall performance. In conclusion, our technical architecture and stack are designed to deliver a scalable, efficient, and user-friendly application.
