The project is built in the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture, which provides clean and structured code, easy separation of responsibilities and flexibility support. As evidence of the importance of the IEC architecture, the design life cycle of system design as a process is presented. The result of the entire design and development process is also presented. The chosen architectural design concept and the decision on the modern tools and new technologies used are extremely important for the success of the developed platform.
