The Project
Epic Renewal is a comprehensive application designed for community composters to efficiently manage and optimise composting processes. By providing essential tools for tracking, reporting, and managing composting operations, Epic Renewal aims to support composters in improving their operations, demonstrating environmental impact, and fostering community engagement.
Goals
Create the first SaaS information management system specifically for compost production.
Enable users to accurately track complex composting processes and capture critical impact data.
Facilitate the growth of composting operations by providing data-driven insights and demonstrating the viability of community composting.
Solutions
Implement a user-friendly interface that simplifies the input and management of composting data.
Develop features that allow users to track key data points such as batch creation, feedstock addition, temperature records, and batch actions.
Introduce robust reporting tools to summarise processes and report impact data to stakeholders like municipalities, environmental agencies, funders, and residents.
UX/UI
A streamlined user dashboard that provides quick access to core functions such as site management, batch creation, and data recording.
Each batch dashboard provides a comprehensive overview, including key data points and recent activities.
Simplified forms for adding new sites, batches, and feedstocks, with intuitive input fields and validation mechanisms.
Graphical and tabular reports that clearly present data, making it easy for users to interpret and share their composting impact.
Results
Users can easily track and manage compost batches, optimise operations, and demonstrate their impact.
The platform helps reduces waste hauling footprints, and enhances community well-being by fostering accessible and equitable composting practices.
The intuitive design and automated tracking features significantly reduce the time and effort required for managing composting operations, allowing users to focus more on strategic growth and community outreach.
Epic team is continuing to partner with CAD to develop phase 2 & 3 of the app.
