EOD Reporting System

The EOD Reporting System automates the reports and other management information of the organization. In regular business this system enables monitoring the employees at different locations. Once logged into the system, it requires the user to send automated emails to the members of his/her team. This helps management generate attendance, payroll and notifications of shortages or overages for the day.

Status reports are another useful tool provided to team management. The system makes it possible to easily and efficiently check on general progress throughout the team without the delay of having to call in for results daily. Both management and team members find status reports to be a better, faster means of communicating daily updates.

These reports must be included so that the team can coordinate together. For instance, if one team member is still working on Module A, it communicates this status to other team members so they can better coordinate their project task schedule. These status reports are useful to team members and managers’ even weeks later, often at the end of a monthly work cycle, to reveiw the entire progress of the project.

One key component of the reporting system is recording daily cash transactions by monitoring the cash coming in and cash going out. After reaching a specified limit, if excessive cash comes in or flows out, the software notifies the administrator. The EOD reporting system balances various tender types against expected amounts and totals what the end user has entered for deposits in the system and matches that against what has actually been deposited. This systems allows for easy, accurate reconciling against bank statements.

Through data mining technologies, GDKN provides powerful search and data analytics to help streamline data assessment and document review, saving time and lowering the costs and risks involved in litigation or investigation. Customers rely on GDKN to provide industry-leading information management.

Traditional methods for information retrieval or searching involve the user entering one or more keywords and the search returning any document that matches the keywords. However, many people do not know how to search effectively and the typical results do not provide any indication of which item is the most relevant to the user. This problem increases as the volume of data being searched increases, resulting in the user being overwhelmed by an unrealistic number of items which match the search. This issue has been addressed with the development of Application, which performs search by keywords and other parameters to find a more focused set of potentially relevant documents more quickly than by a parametric search alone.

GDKN provide an advanced concept-based search engine designed to be embedded in a variety of applications to generate better and faster search results. Using the conceptual search capabilities from GDKN solutions, users can rapidly find information which would otherwise be time-consuming or impossible to find using the standard keyword or parametric search methods

Screen Data Capture

Our Web Crawling technology is a next generation Screen Data Capture-based client data-management and processing system. The system helps to scrape data from the web and efficiently manage and process the same. This allows the user to automate almost any repetitive web operations such as collecting pieces of information from Web pages, extracting web links etc. making the process faster, error–free and convenient.

When our web crawling system visits a web page, it "reads" the visible text, the hyperlinks, and the content of the various tags used in the site, such as keyword rich Meta tags. This is how it filters the data and adds the required data to the company database. The System is programmed to comb through the Internet periodically to determine whether there has been any significant changes.

If a site is experiencing heavy traffic or technical difficulties, the system is programmed to note that and revisit the site again, hopefully after the technical issues have subsided. Web crawling is an important method for collecting data on, and keeping up with, the rapidly expanding internet. A vast number of web pages are continually being added every day, and information is constantly changing so for this reason the web crawling system regularly ensures that our databases are up-to-date.

There are several uses for the program, perhaps the most popular being search engines using it to provide webs surfers with relevant websites. Other users include linguists and market researchers, or anyone trying to search information from the Internet in an organized manner. Alternative names for a web crawler include web spider, web robot, bot, crawler, and automatic indexer.

A web crawler may be used by anyone seeking to collect information on the internet. Search engines frequently use web crawlers to collect information about what is available on public web pages. Their primary purpose is to collect data so that when internet surfers enter a search term on their site, they can quickly provide the surfer with relevant web sites. Linguists may use a web crawler to perform a textual analysis, combing the internet to determine what words are commonly used today. Market researchers may use a web crawler to determine and assess trends in a given market.

• Entering data into forms and submitting.
