Desarrollo de un prototipo de sistema web para promoción de productos agrícolas.

Abstract

This degree project implemented a web platform that provides a means of buying and selling agricultural products to traders in the municipality of Rumiñahui. Due to the recent pandemic that affected not only our country but the entire world, the technological deficit that exists in many processes that today can be managed through a web tool became known. Currently, for the commercialization of agricultural products, producers use manual supply processes that consist of walking the streets of the different sectors offering their products door to door or delivering to intermediaries in the different markets, squares, and fairs of the sector. Thus, with the implementation of the web system, traders will be able to reach more potential buyers, expanding their commercial network and increasing their income, which will also help generate a sustainable economy in the area and at the same time benefit from a new method of technological commerce that currently and because of the pandemic has been very necessary in terms of technological innovation. For the implementation of the platform, the Scrum framework was used, which allows partial deliveries of the product in an iterative and incremental way, allowing developers to distribute work time efficiently. In the implementation of the web system, Odoo ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) libraries were reused and adapted. Odoo is an open-source integrated software that consists of a set of applications for business information management called modules. Odoo and its modules use a 3-tier architecture, the logical tier is written in the Python programming language. Another tier of the Odoo architecture is the frontend which is the combination of languages used for web application development such as HTML5, CSS and Javascript. In addition, the modules use Odoo's own ORM (Object Relational Mapping) for data persistence, which is supported by PostgreSQL belonging to its data tier.
