- Refactored the tutor management area by creating a new, solid design by abstracting the processes as easy to use coding interfaces. These interfaces were used as an in-house library to develop new processes, resulting in more maintainable code and a speed up in the development time by a factor of two.

The system notified users via messaging or mailing services, letting them know when the next vehicle services should be carried out. The predictions were made based on past events and static time frequencies, or kilometers.
