Seedlings Approval Request with Descriptive Analytics and Real-Time Messaging System for CENRO Bago

Abstract

In response to the challenges faced by the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) Bago in managing seedling requests, this study presents the development of a web-based and mobile application system named "VerdeQuest." This system seeks to modernize the existing seedling request process, providing enhanced accessibility, accuracy, and security. By replacing manual logbooks and electronic spreadsheets with a comprehensive database, VerdeQuest streamlines the entire transaction of seedling requests. It features user account management, request monitoring, seedling availability tracking, statistical reporting, real-time messaging, and automated notifications. The system not only improves efficiency for CENRO Bago but also empowers requesters, which include government agencies, non-government organizations, and schools, in accessing services related to seedling requests. The study employed a constructive research methodology and followed the Agile Scrum Methodology during system development. The project demonstrates the feasibility of VerdeQuest, with an estimated payback period of 1.98 years and a system evaluation result of 2.6. In conclusion, VerdeQuest represents a significant leap forward in seedling request management, offering efficiency, data security, and ease of use, thus benefiting both CENRO Bago and its clients. The system is recommended for implementation with standard hardware specifications, hosting licensing, and potential future developments for reference.
