optimized for usage via Command Line Interface (CLI) while still having the benefits of a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
If you can type fast, EzContact can get your contact management tasks done faster than traditional GUI apps.

Given below are my contributions to the project.
New Feature: Appointment, Add Appointment, Delete Appointment, Mark Appointment, Unmark Appointment
- What it does: Allows the user to assign appointment details: Date, Time, Venue, to a customer, and keep track of the number of
appointments completed with a customers.
- Justification: This feature significantly enhances the product's suitability for the target user.
Users can keep track of appointments with customers to gauge the stage in the selling process that a customer is in to maximise
efficiency and increase their conversion rate of closing customer deals.
- Highlights:
- Analysed design alternatives, from the implementation of
Appointment and AppointmentCount
classes, to handling addition/deletion of Appointment, marking/unmarking of AppointmentCount - Designed the details of what an appointment should contain and its restrictions(Date, Time, Venue) using the
LocalDateTime class vs String representations - Also detailed the UI appearance output of
Appointment. - The decisions made were mainly driven by ensuring the best user experience
of an insurance salesman needing the essential tools to keep track of appointments.
