Abstract
SYSco EDV GmbH develops customized IT and software solutions for external partners and companies. The company’s main focus lies on business software such as ERP, CRM, and PPS systems, as well as on tailor-made software solutions designed to meet specific customer requirements. In addition, SYSco provides comprehensive IT services, including consulting, implementation, support, as well as infrastructure and security solutions. The company’s headquarters are located in Schwertberg, and it employs over 50 people.
As part of this diploma thesis, the modern porter solution "outPort" was developed for SYSco EDV GmbH. This solution represents a comprehensive supplier and visitor management system that digitalizes and optimizes the entire reception process. The main objective of this project was to simplify the registration and handling of visitors, reduce manual effort at the reception desk, and at the same time provide a clear, secure, and user-friendly interface for administration and management.
The developed system enables suppliers and visitors to independently register via a multilingual self-service terminal. Key features include intuitive data entry, confirmation of mandatory legal documents (such as GDPR and safety instructions), printing of visitor badges including QR codes for check-out, and direct notification of the responsible host. The latter was implemented through seamless email and calendar integration using the Microsoft Graph API.
Reception staff and administrators are provided with a centralized, role-based dashboard that offers a real-time overview of all current, planned, and past visits. From a technical perspective, the project was implemented using a modern technology stack consisting of a C#.NET backend and a React frontend. By introducing standardized and partially automated processes, "outPort" significantly reduces workload at reception, and creates a professional first impression for company visitors.
