Building TrustLog: A Simple Complaint Management System Using PHP & MySQL

Managing complaints shouldn't be complicated.

Many organizations still rely on paper records, emails, or spreadsheets to handle complaints, making it difficult to track issues and ensure timely resolutions. To solve this problem, I developed TrustLog, a web-based Complaint Management System that simplifies complaint registration, tracking, and administration through a centralized platform.

🚀 Why I Built TrustLog

The objective behind TrustLog was to replace manual complaint handling with a digital solution that is simple, organized, and easy to manage. It allows users to submit complaints online while administrators can monitor and resolve them efficiently.

✨ Key Features

  • Online Complaint Registration
  • Complaint Status Tracking
  • Secure Admin Login
  • Staff Management
  • Complaint Category Management
  • Business Settings Configuration
  • Database-Driven Complaint Records
  • Simple Deployment using XAMPP

📌 How It Works

  1. Users submit complaints through the public complaint form.
  2. The complaint is securely stored in the MySQL database.
  3. Administrators log in to review and manage complaints.
  4. Staff members process and update complaint status.
  5. Users can check the progress of their complaints online.

💻 Technology Stack
