Support for planning and procurement processes of materials for construction projects

In a cross-functional team, PTA takes charge of the requirements engineering, conceptual design and implementation of the application in an agile collaboration with the customer. For this purpose, the team uses Azure DevOps as a collaboration platform. The requirements engineering is carried out through workshops with process participants from various business functions involved and thus the potential users. An evaluation of the workshop results is supported by applying the Kano model. Due to the strong linkage of the procurement in the project processing of pipeline construction projects, it is planned to be able to integrate further process steps. In order to justify the established use of desktop applications as well as taking advantage of modern web applications for integrative processes, the solution is developed as cross-platform application. By using the Electron framework, the application can be operated both as a classic desktop application and as a web application.
