ABSTRACT:
Documents, generally, has been identified as an important element in decision making as well as customer service relations. Motivated by the need to secure these documents from loss or theft while providing easy access to them, several technologies have been proposed by previous authors to track of these documents as they move from one office to another. Some of the proposed solutions include: barcodes, radio frequency identification (RFID) and augmented reality. While most of these works have been either web-based or desktop, none have been developed as a mobile application to allow users work on both paper and electronic documents remotely. In this paper, we designed and developed an android hybrid application for tracking of both paper and electronic documents. Notifications on the current status of the document are forwarded in form of both SMS and email. Our proposed system is designed using Object Oriented Methodology; and was implemented with Java, XML, PHP and MySQL. After evaluation with existing document management systems, our proposed system proved to allow for users track and work on documents remotely; and capable of providing real-time updates on the documents’ current location.
