Examples of our workPlant Management SystemLoftus IT crafted a bespoke Plant Management System to direct the allocation of plant machinery and labour resources on concurrent civil engineering projects. Our solution adopts a colourful drag-and-drop visual interface that eschews keyboard input in favour of images, movement and visual feedback. The immersive and imaginative environment captures organisation specific business rules, incorporates geographical mapping, generates reporting outputs in Excel and interfaces with the company's financial system. The system was constructed using Adobe Flex, JBoss Application Server and Microsoft SQL Server. The user interface has been delivered as a web-page, as well as an iPhone application. Menu Ordering SystemOur team created a web-based Menu Ordering System that enables multiple aged care facilities to submit meal orders via the Internet. The system aggregates orders and converts servings into trays for preparation by a central production kitchen. A set of configurable rules ensures that wastage is minimised. HTML, JavaScript, Apache Tomcat and Microsoft SQL Server were blended to form this system. Brigade Operations Management SystemLoftus IT developed a software package that maintains data communications between emergency services vehicles and a central command site, enabling instructions and responses to be rapidly and reliably exchanged. The software incorporates: serial data exchange; TCP/IP networking; bespoke communications protocols; UNIX database servers; and a portable Windows-based user interface that operates within vehicles. Redevelop Statistics Management DatabasesOur team redeveloped a series of Access based database products for an Australia-wide civil construction company into a feature-rich, web delivered management suite that can be accessed in each of the company’s geographically dispersed offices. A tabular user interface simplifies data entry while dynamic reporting and Excel integration facilitates data manipulation. The system was fabricated utilising HTML, JavaScript, GlassFish and Microsoft SQL Server. Asset Management for Local GovernmentThe Applications Team designed, developed and continues to maintain the Loftus HMS suite. The modular toolkit is utilised by Local Government Authorities throughout Australia and New Zealand to manage asset infrastructure, work orders and customer requests. An abundance of practical tools enables users to: calculate the hydraulic loading on sewer pipelines; schedule upcoming work; examine information geographically; build custom report outputs; and customise the behaviour of data fields. Technology includes Microsoft SQL Server, integration with ESRI and MapInfo GIS platforms as well as Microsoft Office. Criminal History Clearance and Screening Business Process ManagementOur team created the Loftus CDES product that assists government and private sector organisations to conduct pre-employment screening functions. The system facilitates secure and automated electronic transfer of information to and from Federal Government agencies via a practical graphical user interface.
