Summary

Wasteer, a German provider of innovative technology and sustainability solutions for the waste management industry, sought to improve the efficiency of waste-to-energy plants by digitising operations, optimising waste flows, and enhancing client CO2 balances. ELEKS assisted Wasteer by creating an interactive prototype app that streamlined waste management and visualised real-time energy production potential and associated costs. Afterward, we refined and scaled the partially developed product, enabling Wasteer to confidently drive innovation in its industry.
ELEKS' remarkable combination of fast delivery and professional skills has been consistently exceeding our expectations. Their commitment to meeting deadlines and providing high-quality solutions has empowered Wasteer to introduce a crucial digital component to the waste management industry, contributing to a more environmentally friendly future.

The situation

Wasteer aims to optimise the efficiency, profitability and environmental impact of waste-to-energy plants

Wasteer was on a mission to improve the efficiency of waste-to-energy plants by digitising and controlling waste flows. It sought to not only increase profitability with its software solutions but also to significantly improve the CO2 balance of its clients.

Wasteer approached ELEKS to research intelligent ways of managing the waste stream to maximise energy recovery and revenue and to develop a prototype application that can recommend effective plant management strategies. Wasteer’s key concerns were reducing operational effort, optimising energy output and boosting knowledge of material stocks.

The solution

A crystallised product vision and powerful prototype app for streamlining plant management

Initially, the ELEKS team conducted a product discovery phase to understand the waste-to-energy plants’ current operations, processes and pain points through knowledge-sharing sessions, on-site visits and user interviews. Using the gathered information, we created an interactive prototype app for streamlined waste management that visualized real-time energy production potential and related costs. The envisaged application had to consider the cost of production, the additional revenue potential after adjusting for market prices and operational optimisation based on capacity, capabilities and cost.

After the discovery phase, Wasteer returned to ELEKS with a partially developed product. Collaborating closely with Wasteer's internal teams to deliver faster results, we updated the backend, enhancing its stability, and ensuring scalability. The ELEKS team successfully worked on the admin panel of the solution, which enables administrators to manage database records, users, permissions and document uploads. We also helped deliver an application to optimize waste

management within waste treatment plants. Now, ELEKS data science experts are working on a computer vision component for waste recognition.

The result

Wasteer’s solutions streamlines and optimises waste management while helping clients become more environmentally friendly

Wasteer was able to transform its vision into a functional prototype of an app that could cover the whole waste management value chain, bringing the company closer to its goal of making waste management more efficient and cost and resource-effective while helping its clients adopt more environmentally friendly operations and maximise energy recovery.

With ELEKS’ expertise, rapid delivery and high-quality results, Wasteer was able to innovate its industry with confidence.

Right from the start, we really liked ELEKS’ commitment and engagement. They came to us with their best people to try to understand our context, our business idea, and developed the first prototype with us. They were very professional and very customer oriented. I think, without ELEKS it probably would not have been possible to have such a successful product in such a short period of time.
