S³G Smart Dispatch System
Intelligent IT Service Management Platform
The S³G Smart Dispatch System is an intelligent IT Service Management (ITSM) platform designed to improve incident management, SLA monitoring, and engineer dispatching within enterprise support environments.
The platform centralizes ticket management processes while providing a foundation for automated dispatching, SLA tracking, workflow management, and operational analytics.

Implementation
Language: Python
Contents:
- /src → Class implementations
- /creational_patterns → Design patterns
- /tests → Unit tests
Design Choices:
- Singleton used for database
- Builder used for flexible object creation
- Factory used for object instantiation
Repository Layer
The system implements a persistence layer using the Repository Pattern to separate business logic from data access concerns.
Features
- Generic CRUD repository interface
- In-memory repository implementation
- Repository Factory for abstraction
- Future-ready database repository stub
- Unit tests for CRUD operations
Testing
All repository tests were successfully executed using pytest.
Design Decisions
- Factory Pattern used for storage abstraction
- Repository Pattern separates persistence from business logic
- In-memory storage used for fast testing and flexibility
