Project Description and its Overview

Riverina Agriculture & Lifestyle Show (RALS ) was started in 2000. Since its inception, this event is organized by BT and Sons Farming Equipment every year in November. Among other purpose, this event is primarily organized to introduce the latest farming equipment, management techniques, and business operations to the farmers, other professionals and companies involved into the farming business. With its planning every year, they have been making some improvements and progress every year. These changes are managed by its board. To manage an event of such a large scale, they need to recruit volunteers in high numbers who are very essential to the success of Riverina Agriculture & Lifestyle Show.  Recruitment and management of volunteers are taken care by Globex. The funds collected through the event are transferred to Indigenous Community of Volunteers or ICV, who offers its assistance providing them with the volunteers. Complete process and operations of the event are looked after by its volunteers. Volunteer management and assigning them with the tasks and responsibility was managed by the staffs of Globex through manual system. But, now with the increases scale of RALS, they find it difficult to manage this with their existing manual system. They are facing several issues in managing the event due to its time taking and slow manual system. Globex has now decided to shift to an automated system for the same, which would be far more intelligent and fast then their existing system. This will not only reduce their work load but will also help them save time and money in long term. For this purpose they have approached Virtucon to develop a Rostering system for them. New system that is being developed will store all information and data, and it will process all backend work for the appointment of volunteers. It will also help allot work and responsibility to the volunteers. (Horine & Francis, 2016)
