Project : MyERA Portal

Project : MyERA Portal
Platform : JSP / Apache Tomcat
Company : ERA Realty Network Pte Ltd



This is the first web application that I developed using JSP + Tomcat.


It is designed to serve as a one-stop portal for our property agents initially and grows to assists our staff as well todate.


This is really a 'break-through' for our company as it is the first web application launched to provide various online services to our agents and staff.






Thorough the portal, our agent can


1. Check their transactions online
2. Print their commission payment voucher
3. Check past transaction sales price
4. Check property available for sales/rental
5. Updated property news
6. Company annoucements
7. Download electronic copy of various documents/forms






There is a lot more that agent can benefit from the portal and I am consistently improving it to provide more services online.



Amid improving the portal, I found that there are some services that are also useful to our staff by acessing the same data source. Therefore, I added in some services for the staff to replace their manual workflow.



More importantly, our management can retrieve various reports online anytime anywhere now compare to last time whereby I need to prepare for them manually upon request.



In fact, I am very satisfied and proud this portal as it not only benefit our agents in terms of convenience and efficiency but also streamline our office workflow by automate it to save manpower as well.


For example, last time we need dedicated manpower to update some of the details on our company website http://www.era.com.sg/ on a regular basis. It is a very routine and tedious tasks whereby the department concern need to compile the updated information and pass it to the IT for converting to the web pages. In the end, I created a module so that the staff in charge can update the information directly without going through IT and it will be reflected online immediately. Through many of such modules, I am able to cut down uncessary manpower wastage on these routine tasks.



Well, I have more ideas to make it better but.....


Anyway, the next improvement in the pipeline is to implement SSL on the website to make it secure!
