abstract
ERP systems are critical for the organization and management of day-to-day business activities
regardless of a company's extent. They are designed around a single, defined data structure with a
usually common database, ensuring that the information used in the enterprise is normalized, and
based on common definitions and user experiences. Data is the treasure and lifeblood of every industry
and its correct control is a key to business scaling. These key constructs in conjunction with business
processes driven by workflows across different departments simply integrate people and technologies
indoors a modern enterprise.
Riskivector, Unipessoal Lda as a local affordable accommodation provider for international students
faces a significant problem due to the rapid growth of demand. A significant amount of customers
together with its correlated data distributed across several standalone data sources and an endless
inventory of disconnected spreadsheets cause difficulties such as hard or impossible accessibility to
crucial reports allowing proper decision-making, laborious administration of exponentially growing
data.
This work aims to improve the digital infrastructure of Riskivector, Unipessoal Lda by developing an
innovative and user-friendly ERP system. The development of the application will ensure not only
improvement in the organization of activities but also the digital transformation of the core business
processes of the company. The system will contribute significantly to the idea of storing, organizing
and processing critical data in a centralized repository, thereby confirming the ease of accessibility and
deployment in consistency with the requirements of operational activities.
After a profound understanding of company needs and thoroughgoing research data has been
straightened out in an entity-relationship model and important architecture decisions were made to
implement a robust and scalable web-based application programming interface that allows further
development of ERP solution.
