- SmartCheck: Modular Application for the Automotive IndustryPublication . Saraiva, João António Madeira; Alves, Valter Nelson NoronhaThe automotive industry is currently undergoing a significant digital transforma tion, driven by the need for operational efficiency and seamless data management. However, while large corporations have the resources to implement complex, pro prietary systems, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SME) often face significant barriers to digitalization. Existing market solutions are frequently polarized: they are either expensive, rigid enterprise platforms or generic open-source tools that require substantial technical expertise to customise. Consequently, many SME re main reliant on inefficient manual workflows, unable to justify the high investment required for tailored software. This thesis addresses that gap by presenting the design and development of SmartCheck, a modular, multi-tenant web application tailored for the automotive service sector. The primary objective was to create a scalable, cost-effective solution capable of adapting to diverse business requirements without the need for continuous code intervention. The proposed architecture relies on a configuration-driven design, where the application’s user interface and logic are dynamically generated at runtime. This approach decouples the frontend implementation from the business logic, allowing the system to support multiple tenants with distinct workflows and branding from a single shared codebase. The application was developed using modern web tech nologies, following a mobile-first strategy to ensure usability for field workers, such as truck drivers and inspectors. The development process followed an agile methodology, incorporating continu ous feedback from industry experts and real-world testing with a pilot client, Kögel. Key contributions of this work include a reduction in development overhead for new client onboarding, the effective implementation of a dynamic reporting engine, and the enhancement of user experience through features such as QR code integration and automated damage documentation. Ultimately, this study demonstrates that a modular, configuration-based approach offers a viable, sustainable pathway for the digitalization of solutions for SME.
