Norway grants project
                
                
                
                    The company continues to implement the project of development of a prototype of an innovative
                    construction waste removal service processing and logistics management platform within the Norway
                    grants program. During the last six months, development, testing and delivery of the following
                    development works were carried out:
                
                
                    Driver app:
                
                
                    1. Authorization of drivers;
                
                
                    2. Commencement of work;
                
                
                    3. Creating and validating today's route view;
                
                
                    4. Possibility to start and finish the route.
                
                
                    Administrative panel:
                
                
                    1. Created customer notification mechanisms that allow push notifications to be sent to all
                    application users;
                
                
                    2. An interactive map was developed, where it is possible to view all inventory units placed by the
                    company and perform various manipulations with them. Also, the company's dispatcher has the
                    opportunity
                    to track the location of the drivers and view the current and future tasks of the specific drivers;
                
                
                    3. Inventory management was implemented that allows you to list, easily attach and detach inventory
                    items, which promotes accurate and efficient inventory items.
                
                
                    Client App:
                
                
                    1. A new UI design was improved and implemented, which, after research and communication with
                    industry representatives, would be more relevant to the perception of customers and the needs of
                    service providers;
                
                
                    2. Work has begun on dynamic pricing of free slots, which will allow service providers to set different
                    pricing for peak days and hours. This block would promote a more even number of orders during the week
                    and relieve the burden on companies, as well as allow for a more flexible planning of work for the whole
                    week. From the customer's perspective, the offers would be more evenly presented and the customer could
                    choose the most convenient time and day for order delivery.
                
                
                    Also, marketing campaigns were carried out on google, facebook and other available digital channels.
                    Company continues to attract more service providers to promote the product's recognition, as well as to
                    test the business model and the product itself in market conditions.
                
                
                
                    Ltd “ZOLT” has actively started the implementation of the project “Development of a prototype of an
                    innovative construction waste removal service processing and logistics management platform”.
                
                
                    During the first six months of the project implementation, development of UX/UI design for the
                    application, control panel and driver application was started. The procurement procedure for the IT
                    outsourcing service has been carried out and a contract was concluded in September 6 with the IT
                    company “MAK IT”.
                
                
                    In addition, the company employees involved in the project ensured that:
                
                
                    - discussions were held with the industry's leading companies to define a wider range of needs,
                    which would allow more careful planning of the execution of the defined works;
                
                
                    - discussions were held with developers regarding the planned development, time frames, estimate,
                    design and functionality;
                
                
                    - the interface was shaped, as well as the technical connection of external systems with the ZOLT
                    management platform and application (APUS, data transfer from service providers via API, transfer of
                    service providers' data and customer base into the ZOLT platform).
                
                
                
                    The project “Development of a prototype of an innovative construction waste removal service
                    processing and
                    logistics management platform” receives a grant in the amount of 129 995,00 EUR from the Norwegian
                    Financial
                    Mechanism Program. The aim of this project is to develop a new product - an innovative construction
                    waste
                    removal service processing and logistics management platform.

                    About Norway grants
                
                
                    The Norway Grants and the EEA Grants represent Norway’s contribution towards a green, competitive
                    and inclusive Europe.
                
                
                    Through the Norway Grants and the EEA Grants, Norway contributes to reducing social and economic
                    disparities and to strengthening bilateral relations with beneficiary countries in Central and
                    Southern Europe and the Baltics. Norway cooperates closely with the EU through the Agreement on the
                    European Economic Area (EEA). Together with the other donors, Norway has provided €3.3 billion
                    through consecutive grant schemes between 1994 and 2014.
                
                
                    Norway Grants are financed solely by Norway and are available in the countries that joined the EU
                    after 2003. For the period 2014-2021, the Norway Grants amount to €1.25 billion. The priorities for
                    this period are:
