1. INTRODUCTION
The Agri-Connect platform is an innovative digital solution designed to connect farmers,
retailers, and merchants (admin) to streamline the distribution of agricultural products. This
system aims to enhance supply chain efficiency, transparency, and quality, ensuring that
products are delivered from farms to consumers with minimal delays and maximum quality.
A. Problem Statement:-
Agri-Connect seeks to improve agricultural product distribution by connecting farmers,
merchants, and retailers. However, the platform faces issues with accurate product listings,
real-time inventory management, timely order processing, maintaining quality, efficient
logistics, user administration, and secure payment transactions.
B. Aim:-
To streamline the agricultural supply chain by enhancing product listing accuracy,
inventory management, order fulfillment, quality control, logistics coordination,
user administration, and payment security on the Agri-Connect platform.
Objectives:-
1. Enhance Product Listings:
Ensure accurate and detailed product listings by farmers.
2. Optimize Inventory Management:
Implement real-time inventory updates and management.
3. Improve Order Processing:
Speed up order fulfilment and ensure timely delivery.
4. Maintain Quality Standards:
Enforce consistent quality and safety standards for products.
5. Streamline Logistics:
Coordinate efficient storage and delivery of products.
6. Strengthen User Administration:
Manage user accounts and resolve disputes effectively.
7. Secure Payment Processing:
Facilitate secure and smooth payment transactions.

b. DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION CONSTRAINTS:
1. Technology Constraints
1.1 Backend Framework (Spring Boot):
• The choice of Spring Boot as the backend framework necessitates adherence to
Java-based development. This imposes constraints on the availability of developers
and resources familiar with the Java ecosystem.
• Spring Boot applications require a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) environment,
which must be supported by the deployment server.
1.2. Frontend Framework (React JS):
• The application must be developed using React JS, which requires JavaScript
proficiency. This limits the use of alternative frontend frameworks or libraries.
• React JS, being a single-page application (SPA) framework, imposes
constraints on the way routing, state management, and page rendering are
handled.
1.3. Styling Framework (Bootstrap):
• The use of Bootstrap constrains the design to follow a grid-based layout and
predefined styling components, limiting the customization of UI elements.
• The application must be responsive and mobile-first, as Bootstrap enforces
these design principles.
1.4. Database (MySQL):
• The system must be compatible with MySQL, which imposes constraints on
database design, such as SQL syntax, indexing, and transaction management.
• The application must handle MySQL-specific features like stored procedures,
triggers, and transactions, which may not be portable to other database systems.

Application Interfaces:
Web Browser:
The system is a web-based application; clients need a modern web browser such as
Mozilla Firebox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Chrome. The computer must have an
Internet connection in order to be able to access the system.
Communications Interfaces:
Communication interfaces define how the AgriConnect Management System interacts with
other systems, services, and users over various communication channels. These interfaces
are essential for ensuring data exchange, interoperability, and integration with external
services.
1. Web-Based Communication Interfaces
RESTful APIs:
Description:
The system will expose RESTful APIs developed using Spring Boot to
handle various operations such as user authentication, appointment
scheduling, progress tracking, class management, billing, and diet plan
management.
Communication Protocol:
HTTP/HTTPS.
Data Format:
JSON will be used as the primary data exchange format, ensuring
lightweight and human-readable data transmission.
Endpoints:
Each API endpoint will follow a standardized URL structure (e.g.,
/Api/v1/appointments, /Api/v1/users) and support standard HTTP
methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
8
MET IIT CDAC , Nashik Agri-Connect
Authentication:
APIs will be secured using JWT (JSON Web Tokens), ensuring that only
authenticated users can access protected resources.
Versioning:
APIs will be versioned (e.g., v1, v2) to maintain backward compatibility
and support future updates without disrupting existing integrations.
