Appreciate if the community can provide me some advice on the following.
I am ask to develop an application to help the current manual T-Loan of equipment in the store.
In manual process whoever wish to t-loan any tools or equipment will just go to the store and sign out the item.
Now if i go digital, i foresee there my be integrity issue, where the person incharge can simply checkout the tools and park it under one of the workers.
Those workers are blue collar worker so they do not have an email which i can sent to them that they had checkout this tools
What can i implement to ensure the integrity of the system, thank you in advance
Hi Jerah,
if there is an existing system in place, as there is in your case, have a look at how integrity is ensured now : what is stopping anybody from checking under someone else's name right now ? Do they have to place a signature ? Who checks if signatures are not fake,... etc. In other words, the going digital in itself doesn't introduce a new integrity problem, you'll just have to implement it differently then for example a signature on a piece of paper.
The most obvious way to authenticate if it really is the correct person checking out a tool, would be to have them login to be able to check out. If you don't want all your workers to get their own user id to log into the system, maybe you'll have to introduce a way for them to sign on a touchscreen or something like that.

Hello Jerah.
Do they have a phone number? You can implement a login logic based in one time passwords by SMS, or with a temp QR code that will be read by a mobile app that is configured to match a specific user.
SMS are more expensive than emails, but still less expensive than losing a tool.
