design question for transportation agency/workflow system

Question

Hello everyone,

I am designing a transportation agency/workflow system, and it including 3 types of people, customer who requests to transport some stuff, drivers who deliver the stuff, and truck manager who manages transport source/destination truck coordination and communicates/organizes drivers.

The system is expected to be a web site, and 3 kinds of people could use the web site to submit request, accept request, monitor status of specific stuff transportation, etc. The web site is more like an open agency or a workflow system.

I am wondering whether there are any existing technologies, tools or projects (better to be open source, but not a must) which I could build my application faster based on? I prefer to use .Net technologies, but not a must.

thanks in advance, George

Answer 1

You can look at WF (Windows Workflow Foundation) for modeling workflows.

For web technologies, there is either asp.net or asp.net MVC - see http://www.asp.net for more detail.

Here is a library of free database schemas - possibly one of these can help you out.

Try bizagi, we were considering and i did a few prototypes with it. You may not even have to write code.
