Developments in RoR for various industries

Aldibs’ experience with Ruby on Rails has been very successful over time. The versatility of this language has allowed us to develop applications for many different industries and businesses, including wineries, agricultural and fuel companies, travel agencies and even universities.

Our experience shows the great potential that Ruby on Rails has to adapt to different projects. We would like to share with you some of the programs that Aldibs has created so far.

DataSensor – Control System for Wineries

This Information and Control System created for wineries, DataSensor, was developed by the Aldibs team. It takes data from 90,000-liter steel tanks of sparkling wines, as well as from cellars, presses and any container that requires control, through sensors installed in them.

The software collects the information from the sensors and generates trend graphs in variables such as pressure, temperature, conductivity, flow and relative humidity, among others. It provides a powerful tool for decision making.

Alarm System App: the software also has an application for mobile devices with an alarm system that issues warnings when a variable exceeds the normal limits allowed. For example, the application will receive a notification if the temperature of a tank drops to levels where the yeasts are at risk. Through this app, you can see the variables of the tanks, cellars, presses or any other element connected to the system in real time.

InfoFarm – Management System for the Agricultural Sector

The Aldibs team developed a management system for farms with diverse production. Agricultural management complexity lies in the fact that they have a unified annual budget for different products, so it is difficult to determine which sectors generate profits or losses.

InfoFarm is a management system for agricultural companies, with comprehensive budget management, expense records, seasonal comparisons, summaries and reports of yields by productive areas.

The tool designed by the Aldibs team is used to determine the inputs used for each product, how much of each is applied to a production, which results it generates and what to save on. It allows making annual comparisons between the forecast and the actual results, determining which sector of the farm generates profits and which sector or product generates losses. In this way, production changes from year to year depending on what the system shows. It is an incredible tool for planning and optimizing resources.

SinergiaTrip – Management System for Travel Agencies

Our client tested several canned systems and none of them provided the solution that their travel agency needed. Together with the Aldibs team, we developed a great web information system with access through username and password. This system allows travel agencies to make quotes for flights, transfers, hotels, travel assistance and incoming travel, upload payments to operators, generate electronic invoices and credit notes, and includes reporting and administration modules, and more.

Feria Mayorista – Wholesalers platform

We developed the first online company that brings together wholesalers, factories and importers to sell their products directly to reseller customers throughout Argentina, without any additional intermediaries.

This e-commerce platform is agile and efficient in the search and delivery of products. Feria Mayorista sells a wide variety of different items at the best price.

The website shows thousands of products available to sell; the client chooses them and Feria Mayorista automatically loads them into their Mercado Libre account.

Once customers make a sale, they enter feriamayorista.com.ar, select the product(s) they sold, generate the purchase and send the shipping label so that Feria Mayorista sends the product directly to the buyer.

Scholarship Management System for universities

Our client is one of the most important scholarship agencies in the market. They manage the resources of donors (godparents) and scholarship recipients (godchildren) and needed a tool to manage the monthly allowance of each scholarship.

Aldibs developed a web system with user and password authentication to upload scholarships to students. It also tracks donor payments and bank spreadsheet uploads, and has a reporting module and a complete accounting module that generates invoices connected with AFIP, the national tax agency. The accounting module also produces a chart of accounts, general ledger, journals, balance sheets, etc.

Oil & Gas: applications for Red Mercosur

• Mobile app for the gas station floor. Staff can associate fuel dispatches to a customer through the app, automatically adding the points of the loyalty benefits system. They can also issue a receipt and send it by email. Modules for managing the station inventory, taking gauge readings and cash advances are included.
• Mobile app for customers. Customers can add points for their purchases, redeem prizes instantly and check the invoices issued. It also has an electronic wallet to pay at the associated service stations.

• Mobile app for Servicompras. Designed to manage the station minimarkets: taking inventory, ordering from suppliers and receiving merchandise.
• Mobile app for user and account management. Update passwords, register new clients by validating their data with AFIP services and create new users.
