Cloud-Based Digital Platform for Sustainability and Assessing Environmental Impact

Overview

The solution is a digital platform that helps businesses assess their impact on the environment. It captures data from the target user areas with the help of satellites, drones, and on-ground sensors and then generates insights on how activity impacts nature. In particular, it can spot areas of biodiversity that could be affected by production activities. With the tool, companies can use metrics to identify business risks and opportunities.

UX/UI Redesign

Svarmi’s initial request was to upgrade UX and UI, so we worked on improving user experience and the visual presentation of information in the app. To do this, Softeq created a new look and feel to make the solution more modern and user-friendly. We also created a better user flow to revamp navigation and improve the app’s logic.

Expanded Functionality

While working with Softeq, Svarmi came up with an idea for new functionality. It would allow users to get reports on their environmental impact directly in the app. In one dashboard, users could access relevant metrics and a map. To make this happen, we helped the client define the right features for this new functionality and then build it from scratch. The Venture Studio enhanced the Svarmi team with much-needed front-end capabilities.

To get the report in a new dashboard, an app user adds their locations and the different types of water and energy resources used for production. Then, they get all insights presented in one dashboard. Within it, it’s possible to view the map of the target location from different angles and in various modes such as 3D and heat map. It’s also possible to filter the information by date to compare the environmental impact over time. The solution shows protected areas. For example, it spots vulnerable species that may be affected by the company’s activities.

The Role of the Softeq Venture Studio

To learn how to efficiently level up their product, Svarmi joined the Softeq Venture Studio. It’s a three-month program followed by a series of demo days. For three months, the Softeq team and invited mentors work on a startup’s MVP. At the end of the program, the studio arranges the demo day, where startups can pitch their projects to professional investors. Besides tech expertise and consulting services, the Softeq Venture Studio provides funding.

The VS program gave Svarmi the opportunity to access a startup ecosystem in Houston, Texas and across the US, obtain their required tech competencies, and establish valuable connections.
