Leveraging Technical Expertise Locally
Hybrid Forge is pleased to announce that our solution to the City of Edmonton’s Leveraging Technical Expertise Locally (LTEL) Pilot Project was chosen as the best among 14 competing applicants. The city solicited proposals for an innovative solution to replace the Edmonton Transit Systems’ (ETS) lost-and-found management system. The city partnered with TEC Edmonton to develop this initiative to gain access to new technologies and products that haven’t been realized previously.
“This is an excellent opportunity for us, and we are excited about forging relationships with the City of Edmonton and TEC Edmonton” says Geoff Kliza, President of Hybrid Forge. “Our goal is to integrate business systems with emerging web trends such as social networking to provide a closer relationship between our clients and their customers.”
The solution proposed by Hybrid Forge encompasses a web-based application built using the Hybrid Forge BaseModel MVC framework. The BaseModel MVC framework provides the foundation for building user-friendly data-driven applications while providing key productivity improving features such as simplified inventory search, enhanced reporting and user authentication via enterprise directory. Novel features of the proposed lost-and-found application include barcode-scanning support and an API for integration with social networking sites like Twitter and FaceBook.
