Team CheckFront

Checkfront is a tenured supporter of Camosun College’s Capstone program and has presented another unique challenge for this year. As a local online booking solutions provider with clients all over the world, Checkfront often needs to migrate client data to their system. This process is done manually, which is time consuming and costly. The aptly-named Team Checkfront, consisting of Samreeta (Sam), Roman, and Natasha, has partnered with Checkfront to provide a New Customer Data Importation (NCDI) system as a solution for this problem.

The NCDI system will validate, transform, and integrate customer booking data into Checkfront’s system automatically. The application will map client data to Checkfront’s corresponding items and adjust when they are not identical. It will also dynamically customize the program for each client account. This solution will increase the efficiency of the data importation process at Checkfront, and save valuable resources. The team members have contributed equally to the success of this project. All members have the role of a full-stack developer. However, each individual does have a unique role within the group. Sam acts as the project manager. She keeps the group on task and organized. Natasha acts as the liaison between the project sponsors and team. Roman brings his experience working in teams to facilitate team and faculty communication.
