CAN REVOLUTION ACHIEVE THIS?

[Nicholas Nginya]

  Dear Fellow Revolution Users,
   
  I have recently come across the revolution software and am quite impressed by it, however am not a developer and thence am requesting your comments and advice as to whether REVOLUTION can support the below described project. 
   
  This is also an invitation for those advanced users who believe they can achieve the project demands to get in touch with me personally and discuss development in-depth.
  Kindly feel free to consult me for any clarifications.
   
   
  PROJECT BRIEF
  There are 25 Kiosks located in cyber cafes and chemists all across the country and the Kiosks are used to process and record discounts issue to card members countrywide.
   
  Each Kiosk has one administrator and three attendants.
   
  All members are issued with unique membership cards and are required to also have a PIN number with them.
  When a member visits any cybercafé and incurs any amount, they present their cards to the attendants who enter the card number and then ask the member to enter his PIN number and this opens the member account.
  The attendant then enters the gross amount of the member’s bill and the system gives a breakdown based on the member’s current monthly status.
  To complete the transaction the attendant has to enter their pin number and click process to complete the transaction.
  The member is then requested to pay the net amount show.
  Members can also request for other transactions e.g. Change of membership status, Change of home location etc
   
  BACKGROUND
  The database in each of the locations must be up to date considering a member has the right to walk into any of the cyber cafes countrywide. 
  Having the databases up to date can either be done using the following options;
  1.     Each administrator at close of business copies the encrypted database and either emails it to the head office or delivers it by using a flash disk, next morning the administrator collects the flash disk from head office having the latest database.
  2.     The administrator generates the encrypted data file and emails it to head office who in return emails a current copy back to him to upload into the system after all administrators have sent in their files.
  This system should work independently of the internet connections as some locations don’t have the internet connections.
   
  This is the core of the system required and your quote should include all the relevant database security options, access levels and reporting options and members’ registration details. 



Best Regards 
NICHOLAS NGINYA
