Problems
Challenges with ERP System
1. Database Limitations
- MongoDB is a NoSQL database that may face challenges with complex relational queries (e.g., student attendance records linked to multiple tables).
2. Heavy API Calls
- School ERPs involve frequent data transactions, increasing server load.
3. Integration Requirements
- Student Information System (SIS): Centralized database for student details.
- Class & Section Management: Auto-assign students to classes & sections.
- Attendance Tracking: Integration with biometric or RFID systems.
4. Fee & Payment Gateway Integration
- Purpose: Enable online fee collection and track transactions.
- Integration: Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal, Paytm, Google Pay, UPI, and auto-sync with school accounts.
- Auto-Invoice Generation: Generate & email invoices after successful payment.
Solutions
Modernized ERP System with Next.js and MongoDB
New Web Application with Next.js
- Medical Module: Maintain student and staff health records.
- Thought Module: Display thoughts on notice boards or student portals.
- Notice Module: Streamline the distribution of important information.
MongoDB Database Integration
- Use Aggregation Framework: Enables complex queries to group, filter, and transform data.
APIs and Backend Development
- Use Caching (Redis): Reduces server load by storing frequently requested data such as student records and attendance status.
Scaling WebSocket Communication (Real-Time Updates)
- Use a Pub/Sub Model (Message Brokers): Utilize Redis Pub/Sub, RabbitMQ, or Apache Kafka for handling real-time notifications at scale.
