This is a web-based internal portal for
1) employees logging their working hours to work orders
2) supervisors logging in to run reports and modify incorrect data entry
3) executive team logging in to run production-related reports for decision making
4) sales team logging in to enter new or potential sales opportunity
5) viewing of production real-time dashboard

It is made with ASP.NET, using C# on the front-end and Microsoft SQL Server on the back-end.
