How to create card system
(1/2) > >>
AbeLincoln:
Hello so my assignment is to create a card system. Currently every time a customer comes in we need to scan their ID every time. we want the customer's to come in we scan their Identification card once instead of having to scan their ID's every time. Once we scan their ID we want to print out a card that has a bar code and score system on the card, This is for a rewards system so we can see how many times they come in and at which stores they come in and also track their information as they use it over the country. I am curious How I would go about doing this, My guess is first I would need to set up a database and be able to enter information and from there be able to correlate this data to the card. Any suggestions would be amazing even if its "google database blah blah blah" Thank you

A slightly more serious response:
What's the philosophical difference between scanning an ID vs. scanning the rewards card? (Keep in mind: I know the answer; I want you to tell me.)
You will need a database & a secure API to said database (you'll be storing personally identifiable information and potentially credit card information, I imagine), perhaps data validation. Much of the rest is front-end functionality.

I think the difference would be for us to promote our company and for them to carry around a little piece of our company with them wherever they go(our brand will be on the card)
With this will I need programming skills I am looking at it on a serious note and am wondering can I use an sql database to store the information and use the scanner to help transfer information from the card to the database?
Thanks for your response
hackess:
I'm not familiar with card readers and how they export data, but you may need to write a translation layer between the card reader and the database.
You will need programming and database skills. No question.
