Waste Management Innovator

Terraforma Systems is a pioneer in waste management focused on innovative, environmentally responsible solutions. Founded in Vancouver's False Creek Flats, its engineers and scientists design products that help organizations transition from linear to circular economic models. The company helps clients optimize waste management, reduce climate impact, and improve financial outcomes.

Brainvire focused on user-centric design and scalability, using an agile development process and a robust tech stack. The team built a secure system for stakeholders to log in and work, an education module for waste management practices, automated waste diversion reporting for multiple users, and live composter data integrated into a real-time dashboard.

/ The approach

Design, architecture, and features, shipped as one program.

/01Access

Secured the logins

Many stakeholders needed a safe way in, so role-based logins let each one sign in and perform their tasks securely.

/02Education

Built the module

Users needed to understand the system, so an education module explains waste management practices and how the platform works.

/03Reporting

Automated the submissions

Monthly waste diversion reports were manual, so the platform automates generation and submission across multiple users.

/04Dashboard

Wired live data

Composter data sat outside the platform, so live feeds integrate into the dashboard for immediate analysis.

/ What stood in the way

Four problems, solved without a maintenance window.

A secure multi-stakeholder login

A secure system was needed where various stakeholders could log in and perform their tasks. Role-based logins gave each stakeholder safe, scoped access to the work that is theirs.

An education module for users

The client wanted an educational system for users to understand waste management practices and how the platform runs. An education module made that knowledge easy to reach inside the product.

Monthly waste diversion reports

The platform had to facilitate the generation and submission of monthly waste diversion reports by multiple users. Automated reporting handled both steps and kept the numbers accurate.

Live composter data on the dashboard

Live data from composters had to feed the platform's dashboard for immediate analysis. The team integrated the feeds so the dashboard reflects composting activity in real time.
