Balancing diverse user needs

In pursuit of an intuitive user experience, we crafted distinct interfaces tailored to various user roles, ensuring that we balanced diverse needs while continuously refining the platform.

The four user roles include: Buyers, Operators, Admins, and Individuals. Each role has its own unique interface and features to make the experience easier for everyone.

A platform ready for growth

Scalability became a priority as we leveraged AWS infrastructure, equipping the system to handle a growing user base and transaction volume. Following the launch, we rapidly iterated on features based on real-time user feedback, quickly shifting priorities to enhance functionality and meet evolving demands.

Tracking emissions made simple

The emissions tracking module helps buyers monitor their environmental impact and find ways to reduce it. It shows how much pollution different vehicles produce on various routes. Companies can generate detailed reports, explore carbon offset options with trusted partners, and see carbon-efficient choices when getting quotes.

It also manages Carbon Emissions Tax payments, making sure everyone stays compliant with UK regulations without any hassle..

Long-term collaboration & trust

We continue to refine and expand the existing platform based on user feedback and market demands, working on two other projects in parallel.
