Microservice Based Architecture for ACCIO

About ACCIO

Accio streamlines the fit-out process for retail design and commercial offices by serving as a centralized hub for all stakeholders. It enhances communication and collaboration, providing end-to-end tracking from initial kick-off to final opening. Tailored for malls, Accio simplifies scheduling and ensures precise tracking at every stage, offering a comprehensive overview of the entire fit-out journey.

Project Requirements

1. Manual Scheduling and Tracking

Scheduling and tracking fit-out activities rely heavily on manual methods such as spreadsheets, emails, phone calls, and offline meetings. This leads to difficulties in maintaining accurate, up-to-date records and makes the process heavily dependent on specific individuals.

2. Tracking Delays and Monetizing Them

Tracking delays in project milestones is challenging, often leading to subjective discussions between owners and tenants. This subjectivity complicates the process of monetizing delays and can cause disputes and conflicts.

3. Document Management Issues

Exchanging and tracking multiple documents between owners and tenants is cumbersome. Without a centralized repository, documents can easily be lost or misplaced, causing delays and inefficiencies.

4. Lack of a Consolidated View

Management struggles to get a comprehensive view of all ongoing fit-out projects due to fragmented tracking methods. Information is scattered, making it difficult to compile and analyze, thus hindering effective decision-making.
