As part of a training project, a customized location platform for networked and efficient collaboration is being developed, which is designed for internal PTA use. The platform has a modular structure and combines several tools to optimize location-related processes. A central element is the location hub – a dashboard that uses modern technologies to bundle all location-related tools in one place. By integrating PlacePilot (seat booking), VibeMail (feedback tool) and Eventify (location activities), the location hub enables intuitive use, increases efficiency and promotes team spirit among employees. This project not only serves as an introduction to state-of-the-art technologies, but also lays the foundation for future-oriented digital solutions that optimally support the PTA location.

The underlying software architecture follows a service-oriented approach that enables flexible and scalable development. Modern and proven technologies are used for the implementation: Frontend: Developed with React, TypeScript and Vite, combined with HTML and CSS for an intuitive and high-performance user interface. Quality assurance is carried out by Jest for unit tests and Playwright for end-to-end tests. Backend: Implemented in Python, with a PostgreSQL database to store and manage data. The entire application is Dockerized so that all components – both the frontend and the backend including the database – can be executed in Docker containers. This enables uniform, portable and scalable deployment in different environments, simplifies deployment and ensures a consistent runtime environment.
