🚀 The Evolution of OPSCOM: Introducing Project Eevee & Project Butterfly

The OPSCOM platform is currently undergoing a strategic transformation to modernize workflows and increase system flexibility. This initiative, divided into Project Eevee and Project Butterfly, focuses on optimizing permit and lot management through new hierarchical structures and automation. This article is intended for OPS-COM administrators interested in the upcoming architectural improvements to the system.

Strategic Improvement Areas

The OPSCOM team has identified three primary areas for platform enhancement to support increasingly complex organizational needs:

  • Dynamic Sales Windows: Moving beyond the current four-allocation-type limit to support an unlimited number of overlapping and staggered sales windows.

  • Unified Lot Management: Transitioning from "Virtual Lots" to a single, hierarchical view that automatically manages multiple price points and user types.

  • Automated Rollovers: Replacing manual renewal processes with an automated, subscription-style logic to streamline term-to-term permit rollovers.

Project Eevee The Proof of Concept

To ensure the new platform architecture is stable, the team is utilizing Lockers as the initial proof-of-concept model, known as Project Eevee.

The Container Hierarchy

Project Eevee introduces a new organizational "Container" hierarchy, which allows administrators to define a price once and have it apply intelligently across the inventory based on user type and time:

Region → Campus → Building → Floor → Unit

Future Development Project Butterfly

Once Project Eevee is fully proven and optimized, the development team will initiate Project Butterfly. This phase represents a total reimagining of the existing permitting system, integrating the efficiencies, automation, and hierarchical controls developed during the Project Eevee phase into the entire parking inventory.

Best Practices and Considerations

  • Active Participation: The OPSCOM team values administrative feedback during this development cycle. As new features like the Grid Editor and the enhanced User Portal are released, administrators are encouraged to share insights and feedback to help shape the final functionality.

  • Monitoring Updates: Keep a close watch on the OPSCOM Community to provide input on proposed changes and track the progress of the transition.

The transition to these new models is designed to reduce the administrative effort required to manage complex pricing tiers and large-scale lot configurations.
