System Architecture Overview

The Intranet is developed using a structured multi-page architecture built on the Frappe Framework. It is designed to be modular, maintainable, and scalable while offering a clean and responsive interface. Below is a breakdown of the key layers and technologies that support the platform.

Presentation/Application Layer

• Develop using HTML, Tailwind CSS, and JavaScript.

• Designed a multi-page application, with distinct pages for each section (e.g, Homepage, Departments, Projects).

• Each page is served and rendered through the Frappe web templating engine, ensuring consistency across views.

Data Layer

• All content, forms, documents, and metadata are stored in the Frappe database.

• Data is managed using Frappe doctypes, which define custom fields, workflows, and permissions per module.

• Real-time updates and dynamic content loading are supported through the Frappe backend.

Backend & Framework

• Built on the Frappe Framework, a full-stack, open-source web application framework based on Python and MariaDB.

• Uses built-in modules like

  • Web Pages

  • Roles & Permissions

  • File Management

  • Custom Scripting (Python and JavaScript)

• Logic and data validation are handled server-side via Python scripts within Frappe.

Hosting & Deployment

• Hosted directly within the Frappe ERP environment.

• Source code and configurations are versioned and deployed using Frappe’s internal tools and bench commands.

• No external hosting provider is used — the application lives entirely within your private ERP infrastructure.
