Overactive Logistics uses Jasper Reports

We would like to announce that Overactive Logistics has adopted Jasper Reports to fulfill all its reporting needs. The next Overactive Logistics release scheduled to ship soon will feature a shipment tracking subsystem that will provide the first of many reports being created with IReport.

Kuddos to Jasper Reports for an excellent and superb reporting suite!

Shipment tracking subsystem update.

I've made progress in the shipments list, it displays what shipments are in transit and their status updates as they move through the process. From here a shipment can be selected to view its full details.

Shipment tracking sub system.

I'm in the process of creating a shipment tracking subsystem that can be accessed via the login screen. Now when the user starts Overactive Logistics there will be two system options to log on.

Cargo System
This is the freight forwarding system where shipments are created.

Tracking System
This is the system where shipments can be tracked.



















If the user selects Tracking System the following screen will display the shipments that are on transit and their current status.



















From here the user will be able to see more detailed information about the shipment by selecting it.

New blog look and logo

Well, it is 2:37 am and I just checked in a bunch of code changes, slowly I'm closing the gap between shipments and charges calculation. I've been extremely careful to keep the domain model always up to date with all the little refactoring details that have been arising during these busy time.

I had to take a little break a few days ago just to cool off my mind and decided that it was time to start thinking about the project's logo and why not give the project's blog a fresh new look.

After I publish the next Overactive Source release I will be working on a simple website featuring detailed information about the system modules and capabilities with screenshoots of course.

Progress.

I've been very active the last few weeks working on the commodities, containers and shipments modules. My goal was to deliver a partial alpha release by the end of this month however I realized that I'm not too far from completing all the logistics features so I decided just to move forward with their coding. I'll be targeting a release before the end of the year.
