Welcome to the FarmX MVP Prototype

This prototype demonstrates the core data spine and workflows for a scalable enterprise management platform. All data is stored in your browser’s localStorage, so you can close and reopen the page without losing your work.

🔁 Switching Roles

Use the Role dropdown in the top navigation bar to switch between:

• Enterprise (Farm/Winery) – the primary user managing their business
• Vendor (Musician, Caterer, etc.) – a service provider
• Administrator – a system admin who approves registrations and views all data

Each role sees a different dashboard and set of tabs.

🚜 Enterprise Workflow

1. Create your profile – Go to the My Profile tab. If no enterprise exists, a creation form will appear. Fill in details and select multiple activities (hold Ctrl/Cmd to select more than one).
2. Explore the Vendor Directory – Switch to the Vendor Directory tab. Use the search box and category filter to find approved vendors. Click View Details to see contact info.
3. Manage Relationships – In Relationships, view existing tags and add new ones. Select a vendor, choose a status (e.g., Preferred, Pending Outreach), add notes, and click Save.
4. Request a Booking – Under Bookings, select a vendor, fill in the event name, date, and notes, then click Request Booking. The booking appears in the list with status “requested”.
5. Upload Documents – In Documents, choose a document type, enter a file name (simulated), and click Upload. The dashboard will flag missing insurance certificates.
6. Dashboard Overview – The Dashboard tab shows profile completion, pending tasks, and upcoming bookings.

🎵 Vendor Workflow

1. View your profile – After switching to the Vendor role, the dashboard shows your business name and upcoming bookings.
2. See your bookings – The Bookings tab lists all booking requests from enterprises. You can see the status, but approval/rejection is simulated (statuses can be changed from the enterprise side in this prototype).
3. Manage documents – Use the Documents tab to upload insurance certificates, licenses, etc.

🛡️ Administrator Workflow

1. Approve Registrations – In the Manage Registrations tab, you’ll see pending enterprises and vendors. Click Approve or Reject to change their status. Approved entities appear in the directory.
2. View All Data – The All Data tab displays the entire JSON database (localStorage contents), perfect for debugging or demonstration.

💾 Data Persistence

Everything you create stays in your browser until you manually clear localStorage. To reset the demo, you can delete the farmx_data key in DevTools (Application → Local Storage) or click the Reset All Data button in the Admin All Data tab (coming soon).

📌 Grant Demonstration Tips

• Show how a single enterprise can have multiple activities (winery, events, retail) – no need for separate accounts.
• Walk through the relationship tagging to prove the platform can maintain ongoing connections, not just a directory.
• Highlight the booking and payment tracking (statuses like “quote requested” → “deposit received” → “paid in full”).
• Demonstrate the admin approval workflow, showing how central control can be maintained.
• Emphasize that the data model is designed for future modules (GIS, CRM, AI) without major redesign.

This prototype uses Bootstrap and vanilla JavaScript. It is a fully functional, offline-ready foundation for the FarmX platform.
