Pay attention to the information construction of property companies
1. Take an item and analysis of demand
This summer, I didn't go home in Beijing, and I got the management system project of a property company, and I learned about the information construction situation of the current property company.
My client company is a medium-sized property company that is about 200 people. When contacting their person in charge, because of the fact that the property management process is not familiar, many places have been exchanged several times. In the process of analysis of the demand analysis, I gradually be familiar with some of the specific content of property management. Generally, things that property companies need to manage are: owners information management, house maintenance, public facilities management, security, green sanitation, etc. Among them, the owners' information, housing maintenance records require a large number of forms and statistical reports, and the focus of information construction.
When designing software, according to the company's responsible person, the interface is easy to operate, and the input interface is similar to before, in order to transition smoothly. In other words, the property company's requirements for software is easy to operate, and the interface is friendly. This is universal for providing information-based sectors: in the process of informationization, the requirements of the interface are sometimes even higher than the performance requirements.
According to the interface requirements, I have designed three entry points for each function. In the input, I tried to draw the interface as the currently used form. At this point they seem very satisfied, there is no objection to the end.
In terms of specific data input, since the form of the property department is generally a lot, the input form and the report take me most of the time. Sometimes I think so that software is physical labor J. After painting the table, you can automatically count the input data, then generate report printing, and can also find information such as the corresponding owners according to various conditional information. For property management companies, finding and statistics are the most concerned features. After I finished the property management system, I added an independent street management system, and they have the most important thing for them. It is a lookup and form statistics print. Therefore, for the small and medium-sized property department, the information construction is simple to say that the information is moved from the paper to the computer, and then adds the search and statistics, of course, it is also possible to print.
2. Specific development and design thinking
Clear demand, I started specific design and encoding work. On the main menu, the interface is left, and the other side is set, and the four-quarters of the entire interface are used, and the rest assigned to the form of the form, but it is still not enough for some forms. Due the second-level form display. In addition, there are many demands that are highlighted during the mid-term demo, for example, some forms and corresponding statistical report information display is inconsistent, must be re-established, so similar problems will delay a lot of progress. In addition, in order to be convenient, there have been a small function of a number of one-time input full form fixed columns, which also affects the planning of the entire interface. These small problems are still unfamiliar with the information objectives of the property party, and need developers to take the initiative to comprehensively think, develop comprehensive demand analysis. A good demand analysis is really important for later development.
Since the customer does not guarantee the Internet, this information management software is a single-machine version, and there is no technology such as a network database, so the technical difficulty is much reduced. In the encoding process, it is basically smooth, and some small problems are also solved with the help of the Internet. However, due to the less reasonable designs of the initial database, there is a need to dynamically generate temporary tables when doing some statistics. I have started to think about a lot of ways, and later found the basic SQL statement with the help of a netizen, I found that the basic homework is still very important.
In the mid-term time to give a demonstration, many additional requirements are proposed, such as the best owners, can import export data, etc., this is not in the initial demand analysis, so it has added difficulties to the design. In response to this situation, one is a good way to communicate well, for example, it is said that you can't access the Internet, you can ask: "So how do you realize data exchange between several communities?", This, customers will be good Thinking about the needs of this, the demand will be in advance to the design province. In addition, when designing software architecture, you can flexibly, so that you will be easy to increase modules later, so you use the knowledge of design patterns. Finally, the customer requires an increase in a car management function. I found that if you want to add this relatively large module on the basis of an existing code, it is very troublesome, and the auto management and property management does not conflict in the business, so it is proposed to make a separate The park management system, the customer accepts this suggestion. From the project to the installation package, it is completely delivered for the installation package. It has been used for two months. It is completely used in development. Many times are treated because the demand is unclear or returned. .
3. Idea for informationization in the property department
In the process of communicating with customers, I have gradually understood the status quo of some property companies. Today, the property management is very popular today, property management is increasingly recognized is a very promising industry. Since most colleges don't have a corresponding professional, property management talents are also very popular. However, in addition to some very large-scale property companies, the level of informationization in the property management industry is generally not high. Many companies have only one page, introduce the company's situation, and the internal information processing is still in Word printer. Level. However, since these companies do not have large information systems such as ERP from the scale, some small and medium software can meet usage. If you are familiar with the property management process, doing such management software is actually not bother, and the information provider of users, Kingdee and other corporate information providers don't make these "small things" in their eyes, so some small and medium-sized software companies offer a lot of opportunities. . Also, there are many similarities in the management project. If you can design a more flexible architecture, you will first provide the business that most of the property companies need, and then do it according to individual property companies, then it will be a very promising future. Profit channel. I believe that in the near future, there will be universally applicable property management software, and some software companies will therefore get a good profit growth point, and now, it is a good time to develop these growth points.
