Weber State University's Software Engineering team presents, Imagis. Imagis is an inventory management system for the Catholic Community Services of Northern Utah's Food Bank.

1. Catholic Community Services
Food Bank Inventory Management System

2. Technical Overview
 ASP.NET front-end  Mobile auditing
 HTML5, CSS3, jQuery  Barcode identification
 C# code-behind  Report generation
 MS SQL database  Weight metrics
 Entities framework  Category tracking

3. The Problem
 CCS of Northern Utah Food Bank
 200,000 lbs of food per month
 Pencil & paper management system
 No actual weight tracking
 No accounting safeguards
 End of month reports on Excel
 30,000 – 100,000 lbs of loss per month

4. The Solution
 Requirements  Dynamic Tracking
 Reports  Food out
 Warehouse Functions ○ Scan „n save
 Auditing procedures  Food in
○ Weigh
 Hardware
○ Print barcode
 Tablet & scanner
 Access points  Push-button Reports
 End-month tracking
 Scalability
 Custom reports
 Other food banks
 Maintainability  Efficiency
 Know what, where,
how much, any time

5. How It Was Done –
Database
 MS SQL Server
 20 Tables
 Transaction, audit, &
error logging
 Users, donors, sources
 Categories, locations
 Relational database
 ID #‟s as PK
 .edmx design view

6. How It Was Done – Code

7. How It Was Done – UI

8. Deployment
 Training
 On-site
 User docs
 Bug Tracking
 Direct pipeline to group
 VM troubleshooting
 Patches
 Development build
 Live build
