- The system was also used by cooperative societies to provide services like payments and communication updates with the help of Twilio SMS API.
- The main web application was built using HTML, CSS, Javascript, and D3 Js. This resulted in a dynamic application that could be used while offline and work perfectly in areas with poor internet.
- On the back-end we used Python/Django to mainly set up a Restful API. We used both Mysql and Postgresql databases but the latter was preferred because it works best with GIS data.
- Lastly, we used Git for version control and continuous integration.
