Challenges

  • In the Multi-database Login, Roles & User management – Had it been a single database, we could have made use of the can-can-can gem but it being the multi-database concept, we have resolved this situation with a viable solution.
  • For accounting we used plutus gem, which has only limited functionality of the accounting, Plutus doesn’t have parent child relationship in account types but in our application we have that so we customized the gem and made it work successfully.

Results

  • This application has been designed very carefully to ensure its user-friendliness and flexibility for usage.
  • Multi-database architecture has been employed so as to keep the user data stored safely.
  • Multiple organization for a single tenant concept helps a business person to maintain more than one into a single application.

  • The enablement of the Recurring payments for Online payers assures the admins about hassle-free online payments.
