Britz Boy programmed the E-Locator system using Dart/Flutter to monitor employees who are out of the office. It records their timings, locations, and reasons for being out-of-the-office, and displays this data on large screens in the office. The system is easy to use and can be accessed from any device with an internet connection, including a mobile app. It also offers detailed reports on employee activity, which can be used to analyze trends and ensure compliance with local government policies. Overall, it helps office heads stay on top of their team’s whereabouts and ensure that everyone is where they need to be when needed.

In summary, it aims to provide online profiling to the barangay system to improve the delivery of basic services to citizens while promoting efficiency and convenience.

It is a powerful management tool that can be used by all 26 departments and programs of the city government to provide top-quality customer service and maximize efficiency and productivity.

Caparos, Paler, and Ria used Dart/Flutter to develop their app while Dignos utilized the power of PHP on Laravel framework.
