The Challenge
Student organizations often struggle with fragmented communication and paper-heavy approval processes. Administrators needed a centralized "Single Source of Truth" to monitor organization activities, compliance, and financial health in real-time.
The Architecture
- Database: PostgreSQL hosted on Supabase for robust relational data.
- Server Logic: Server Actions for secure, type-safe data mutations.
- Authentication: Role-based access control (RBAC) to separate student and admin views.
- UI Components: Custom Shadcn/ui dashboard elements for high density data display.
The Solution
The system replaced manual PDF submissions with a digital workflow engine. Now, when a student organization wants to host an event:
- They submit a digital request form with budget attachments.
- Administrators receive an instant notification and can approve/reject with feedback.
- The system automatically updates the organization's public calendar upon approval.
