Case Study: BALIS

Boledo and Lottery Information system

Belize Government Lotteries Limited

Belize Government Lotteries Limited sought a custom solution to manage their games. We developed a tailored system that mirrored their existing processes while streamlining workflows for improved efficiency.

Project Overview

Belize Government Lotteries Limited needed a comprehensive system to manage their gaming operations. The existing manual processes were time-consuming and prone to errors, impacting overall efficiency and the ability to scale. Our team was approached to develop a custom, tailored solution that would not only align with their current processes but also enhance workflow automation and system reliability. We worked closely with the client to understand their needs and deliver a solution that could evolve with the growing demands of their business.

The Challenge

The main challenge was to design a system that could replicate and improve upon the existing manual processes while ensuring seamless integration with their business operations. The system needed to manage multiple game types, handle account management for agents and distributors, track collections and payouts, generate real-time reports, and maintain detailed audit logsā€”all within a secure and user-friendly environment. Additionally, the solution had to be flexible enough to accommodate future growth, new game types, and changes in operational procedures.

The Approach & Solution

Our approach began with a thorough analysis of Belize Government Lotteries Limited's workflows and requirements. We collaborated closely with the client to map out their existing processes and identify areas for improvement. Using this information, we built a bespoke system that featured several key modules, including:

  • Game Management: A flexible module that allows for the easy creation and management of various game types, streamlining the entire gaming process.
  • Account Management: A comprehensive solution for managing distributor and agent accounts, ensuring accurate tracking and reporting.
  • Collections and Payouts: An automated system for tracking payments, balance transfers, and winnings, reducing errors and improving financial transparency.
  • Reporting: A real-time reporting system providing detailed insights into game performance and financial transactions.
  • Auditing: An audit trail feature to monitor and log all changes to the system, ensuring security and compliance.
  • Device Management: A module to track and allocate authorized sales devices to specific vendors, ensuring proper inventory and accountability.
  • Game Ball Management: A system to ensure all game balls are within required specifications, maintaining consistency and fairness in game operations.
  • Incident Management: A module for recording and managing incidents that could impact the integrity of games or operations, ensuring transparency and accountability.
  • Drawing Report: A dedicated module to manage and generate reports related to game drawings, ensuring all activities are documented accurately.
This custom-built solution streamlined internal processes, reduced manual intervention, and improved data accuracy, giving the client the tools needed to efficiently manage their operations.
