Recycling Software Modernization for The Green Economy​

CHALLENGE

The suite of projects, including portals for producers and operators of collection points, automates the process of returning deposits for drinks and other waste through recycling management software. 

Initially, the system focused on a specific task: handling the return of recyclable beverage containers. Over time, the solution has evolved into a universal tool with wide-reaching applications for various customers through the use of recycling software customization. 

TRANSFORMATION

The CHI Software team transformed the client’s old system into a flexible platform that automates deposit returns, collects real-time data, and even provides analytics dashboards. These analytics can now enable predictive waste volume forecasting, better resource allocation, and optimized operational planning. In short, by using modern recycling software, our client can now track trends and plan better, making the supply chain more efficient and reducing the environmental impact of recycling. 

That’s the power of turning complex manual processes into efficient, data-driven systems – and what works for recycling can also be applied to logistics, where operations are complex and dynamic.

RECYCLING SOFTWARE MODERNIZATION

The old system had served its purpose for years, but as times changed and the business grew, it struggled to keep up. Migrating from legacy MVC solutions to a modern recycling software microservice architecture became a necessity.

PROCESS AUTOMATION

Employees used to spend hours double-checking data on forms and fixing errors. By introducing an analytics-based approach to monitoring the supply chain, we were able to automate many of these processes. This saved time and increased accuracy in environmental compliance.

RECYCLING MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

Visibility across the recycling chain was fragmented, making compliance monitoring difficult. This created even more time, work, and expenses. A centralized recycling system would ensure every step, from collecting to reporting, is clear, auditable, and actionable.

DATA MANAGEMENT

Recycling can be messy enough as it is – and keeping company data scattered all over made it even worse. Without a unified approach, it was impossible to see the big picture of what was moving where. Our client needed a way to control, collect, and analyze data about manufacturers, recycling points, and waste volumes for forecasting.

GLOBAL SCALING

Expansion revealed another barrier: every region has its own regulatory rules and standards. Creating a unified platform that could be deployed across different regions with varying regulatory requirements to modernize the recycling platform as a whole.

COST TRANSPARENCY

Environmental compliance can involve major expenses, but the actual distribution of costs often remains unclear. The solution had to make spending visible and measurable across regions and waste types to help the business analyze and optimize its spending.

CROSS-ORGANIZATION CONNECTIVITY

Even without an international supply chain, manufacturers and return point operators had different standards. In order to effectively process product flow and container returns, the company used recycling software system development best practices to make the necessary connections for a coordinated workflow.

CHI Software’s team of developers worked with the client on a complete digital transformation that delivered significant modernization and enhancement:

STREAMLINED PROCESSES

Workers experienced a 40% reduction in paperwork and human errors through digitalization using recycling software modernization.

ENHANCED EFFICIENCY

Replacing slow, manual workflows with improved recycling management software increased the rate of successful compliance with standards by 25%.

USER SATISFACTION

The new intuitive interface features reduced support requests by 25% after modernizing the recycling software, letting users work confidently and enjoyably. 

MATERIAL CONSERVATION

Through careful optimization, the team achieved a 50% reduction in material waste, helping the company achieve its goals in becoming more sustainable.

FINANCIAL CLARITY

Transparent compliance cost analysis provided for a 28% improvement in financial planning metrics, giving managers a clearer view of resource allocation. 

SIMPLIFIED MANAGEMENT

Streamlined management of producer goods and return points, saving 15% in operational time with recycling software customization.

REGIONAL FLEXIBILITY

Adaptable solutions that meet diverse regional requirements enabled 20% faster deployment across regions.

DATA-DRIVEN DECISIONS

Improved data collection boosted the client’s ability to forecast the recycling volume, allowing them to make smarter plans. The results bore fruit: prediction accuracy increased by 32% through this novel approach to software development in the recycling industry.
