The implementation of Norway grants program project allowed to carry out knowledge transfer activities in cooperation with the Norwegian partner, when the feasibility of the new system innovative construction waste removal service processing and logistics management platform in accordance with the building regulations in force in Norway has been carried out. In addition, the knowledge and understanding of the construction waste removal service system in Norway, including Norwegian national legislation on construction waste disposal, has been shared. On top - the knowledge and understanding in order to customize the new system innovative construction waste removal service processing and logistics management platform for the Norway construction industry has been gained and the necessary changes has been introduced in the platform.

Also, within the framework of the project, successful cooperation was also established with the Latvian University of Biosciences and Technologies (LLU) on prototype testing. As part of the testing, a testing report was prepared, incl. conclusions and suggestions taken into account during the last month of project implementation, making technical refinements and improvements to the platform.

The implementation of a project of development of a prototype of an innovative construction waste removal service processing and logistics management platform within the Norway grants program are entering in the finishing line. During the last six months’ period, development, testing and delivery of the following development works were carried out:

Driver app:

1. Added the option to send a message to the dispatcher;

2. Added the possibility to enter the weight, machine number and other information necessary for creating an automatic report for the Latvian APUS system;

3. The development of the possibility of photo fixation through the driver application has been started4. Ability to start and finish a route.

Administrative panel:

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.
