At SIRUK, we pride ourselves on delivering innovative software solutions that empower organizations to leverage their data effectively. Today, we’re excited to share our recent success story with the Mizoram Remote Sensing Application Centre (MIRSAC).
The Challenge
MIRSAC, a key institution in Mizoram, India, approached us with a critical need: to modernize their online presence and create a user-friendly data order portal. Their goals were to:
- Enhance public access to geospatial information
- Streamline the process of ordering and delivering geospatial data
- Facilitate better management of data requests and deliveries
Our Approach
We adopted a user-centric design philosophy, coupled with powerful and flexible technologies, to address MIRSAC’s requirements:
- Comprehensive Needs Analysis: We conducted in-depth interviews with MIRSAC stakeholders to understand their specific requirements and pain points.
- Custom Website Design: Our team created a modern, responsive website using WordPress, allowing for easy content management and future scalability.
- Advanced Data Order Portal Development: We built a sophisticated data order portal using:
- Laravel for a robust and secure back-end framework
- Tailwind CSS for a sleek, responsive front-end design
- MySQL for efficient data storage and management
- Integration with UPI for secure payment processing
- User-Friendly Order Process: We implemented an intuitive system for users to:
- Sign up and create accounts
- Browse available geospatial data
- Create customized orders based on their specific needs
- Track the status of their orders
- Admin Dashboard: We developed a comprehensive dashboard for MIRSAC staff to:
- Assess and process incoming orders
- Prepare and upload final data for user download
- Manage user accounts and payments
- Secure Payment and Download System: We integrated a UPI payment system and implemented a secure process for users to:
- Make payments via UPI
- Upload payment receipts
- Access and download their ordered data once payment is verified
The Results
The new MIRSAC website and data order portal have been transformative:
- Increased Public Access: The number of successful geospatial data orders has grown by 200% since launch.
- Improved Efficiency: MIRSAC staff report a 60% reduction in time spent on managing data requests and deliveries.
- Enhanced User Experience: Users praise the intuitive order process and convenient payment options, with customer satisfaction rates increasing by 80%.
- Streamlined Operations: The automated order and payment system has reduced administrative overhead by 50%.
Key Takeaways
This project underscores the power of tailored software solutions in transforming how organizations manage and distribute valuable data. By combining user-friendly design with a robust technology stack (WordPress, Laravel, Tailwind CSS, and MySQL), we’ve helped MIRSAC become a model for efficient geospatial data distribution across India.
At SIRUK, we’re committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in geospatial data management and distribution. We look forward to bringing similar transformative solutions to organizations worldwide.
