Project Overview

Rescue 1122 manages emergency operations across all of Punjab. Manual inventory tracking across 100+ stations was causing critical shortages and procurement delays โ€” we solved it end-to-end.

Centralised Stock Control

Single dashboard giving province-level visibility of all equipment, vehicles, and medical supplies across every station.

QR-Based Asset Tracking

Every asset tagged with a unique QR code. Scan to check in, check out, transfer, or mark for maintenance โ€” from any device.

Automated Alerts

Low-stock and expiry alerts trigger automated notifications to station heads and district managers before a shortage occurs.

Key Features

Built specifically for the operational demands of emergency services

Vehicle Fleet Management โ€” track availability, mileage, and scheduled maintenance per station

Multi-category Inventory โ€” vehicles, medical equipment, PPE, tools, uniforms tracked separately

Multi-location Dashboard โ€” district and province managers see consolidated views across all stations

Role-based Access Control โ€” Station Head, District Manager, Province Admin, and Auditor roles

Procurement Workflow โ€” raise, approve, and track purchase orders end-to-end within the platform

QR Code Asset Tagging โ€” scan-based check-in/out and transfer with full audit trail

Expiry & Low-stock Alerts โ€” automated notifications before medical supplies expire or run critical

Reports & Analytics โ€” utilisation rates, consumption trends, and audit-ready exports

Challenges & Solutions

Technical and operational hurdles we navigated to deliver

Challenge

Synchronising inventory data across 100+ geographically distributed stations in real time

Solution

Built a centralised PostgreSQL database with a Redis caching layer โ€” stations read from cache and write are propagated within seconds, keeping every location in sync without polling overhead.

Government-grade Solution

Built for scale and compliance

Challenge

Government compliance requirements โ€” strict audit trails, role separation, and data residency on-premise

Solution

Implemented immutable audit logs (append-only table), RBAC with four permission tiers, and deployed entirely on government-provided on-premise Linux servers via Docker containers.

Government-grade Solution

Built for scale and compliance

Challenge

Legacy paper-based data migration โ€” years of manual inventory records needed to be digitised and imported

Solution

Built a one-time CSV/Excel import pipeline with validation rules, duplicate detection, and a review UI so station staff could verify migrated data before going live.

Government-grade Solution

Built for scale and compliance
