A waste collection service delivered through three connected apps

The outcome

Pickups are requested, assigned and tracked in software instead of through phone calls.

The challenge

Collection requests, collector locations and payments were coordinated by phone, making pickups hard to schedule and impossible to track.

The solution

How we designed and engineered it.

  1. 01

    Two apps, one system

    Customers request and track pickups; collectors see jobs on a full-screen map with a draggable job sheet.

  2. 02

    Built for the road

    Apps refresh when brought back to the foreground and handle East Africa time consistently across devices and server.

  3. 03

    Queue-driven backend

    Background jobs handle notifications and assignments so the apps stay fast under load.

What we delivered

Everything that went live.

  1. 01Customer app with request tracking and payment options
  2. 02Collector app with live map and job sheet
  3. 03API, job queues and administration backend
