Outside Repairs ASP.NET, Visual Studio 2003, VB.NET, C#, Javascript, XML, CSS and SQL 2000
New ASP.NET application created to serve as a control in place to make sure only the negotiated rates are used on POs. The process first validates the vendor is found on the Mainframe's Walker A/P system, done via web services. If the vendor is valid, the data is persited on the SQL server, and the application enables entering the contract details for each service type and their specific rates. These rates are then exposed via web service to the SMO PO system running on the AS/400, where the user can select the rate to be used on a PO line item. The front end was done with VB.NET and the Web services were written in C#. The Tech Tips Plus! newsletter published at Ryder on May 2006 included the following remark about it: Since February 2005, Ryder has been working to establish the best possible service agreements with local, outside repair service providers and to integrate those agreements into the Shop Management Online Purchase Order processes. With the completion of a successful pilot in the Chicago Business Units, the project is now been released to other Bus. We have good news and better news! Over 450 contracts have been established at 21 BUs. These contracts mean we are saving money. Each month, more BUs will be added to the list, multiplying our savings …
Ryder Road Ready Warranty Plus New ASP.NET application using VB.NET, Javascript, XML, CSS and SQL 2000. Web app enabled Ryder to introduce a new product line, namely offer an extended warranty at the time they sell their used trucks. The app validates the policy by consuming a web service and bringing the policy information from the mainframe sales system. It then keeps the data on the SQl Server and provides a way to track the claims made against the warranty, as well as the POs entered against it on the AS/400 system
Field Access Improvement New ASP.NET application using VB.NET, Javascript, XML, CSS and SQL 2000. Agile development with 38 releases and a total of 154 items implemented, averaging 4-6 per release of not more than one or two weeks long. A very dynamic environment, with requirements changing constantly. The in-house Intranet web app was used by different Ryder employees to help in a project with the goal of replacing the hardware in 865 sites in the US and Canada. To do that, they first needed to gather information on the sites, their inventory, then place orders to different vendors to do whatever needed, There were cabling orders, configuration orders and many PC, Laptops and AS/400 Terminal replacement orders to name few. These orders were tracked by ordered date, scheduled date and Actual date. Managers use a comprehensive export to excel page to track the project progress at all times. Other pages display summary information and enable maintaining additional tables. Help desk users now use the application to maintain the new infrastructure.
November 2001 – Present
Client: Hunter Fan Company Memphis, Tennessee
Convert legacy ASP web application to ASP.NET using VB.NET The new ASP.NET application used dynamic sortable, editable, filterable, pageable dataGrids to display the orders, and enable drilling in to see the order details, the shipping information, and if avalaible, linking into one of 30 carriers web sites to track the shipment. A Custom filter allows for complex queries of multiple columns (almost like stating the where clause). Sensitive information is protected by default making the application more secure and making the admin have to hover the specific row and column to see passwords, which are only displayed as a tooltip. An FAQ page provides added information. The layer design pattern was used to decompose complexity and implement industry standards for N-Tier applications, which made the application more maintainable, scalable, reliable and secure. Additionally, the Data access application block was used to lower development time and encapsulated high performance, scalable best practices using SQL. Inheritance was used to encapsulate common logic in one base class making the app easier and less costly to maintain
