What we were solving
Context & problem
Municipalities and partners could not see how waste moved. The facts lived in paper logs, phone calls and separate spreadsheets. Which points are full? Which routes waste time? What did each material turn into?
They needed one system that operators, drivers and administrators could all trust.
How we approached it
Solution
I worked with the domain experts to model the network: collection points, containers, routes, materials, transactions. Operators get a live map. The back office gets tools to track flows and produce reports.
Every movement is recorded and every transaction can be traced back. Each role sees what it needs and nothing more.
Impact
Outcomes
- - One platform for points, routes and materials across regions.
- - A transaction history that makes audits straightforward.
- - Field teams and the back office look at the same data.

Challenges
- Modelling collection points, routes and materials so the model stays easy to follow.
- Designing screens that work for field staff and the back office alike.
- Keeping the app fast as the number of tracked points and routes grows.
How I worked
- Turned the operators' own terms into the data model and the screens.
- Tested features with stakeholders on real scenarios and sample data.
- Led the technical design and the build, in line with business priorities.

Routes
Operators plan routes across the network and coordinate on them.
Materials
Each material is tracked from pickup onward, with its full history.
Transactions and reports
Material flows link to transactions, so every record can be traced.
