Business Requirements
Our client, a smart energy solutions provider, asked us to create a user-friendly web app called Rec Analyzer. This application aimed to address energy consumption concerns in the Netherlands by collecting data on municipalities, business parks, and companies. They required a mechanism to accurately calculate energy consumption (electricity, gas, and heat) based on this data. The goal was to analyze energy usage, provide actionable insights, and promote energy-saving installations.
Business Challenges
-
Efficiently storing and managing data for municipalities, business parks, and companies, and utilizing it for energy consumption calculations.
-
Implementing a multi-user system with distinct roles (Admin, Sales, Engineer, Project Manager) and permissions across different modules.
-
Creating a platform to calculate energy consumption, generate customized PDF quotations, and facilitate energy-saving installations.
-
Ensuring the application could be used by local companies with an option to switch languages.
Solutions
ScalaCode partnered with Rec Analyzer to create a web solution tackling these challenges and offering an all-in-one platform for efficient data management and energy consumption analysis. We built a user-friendly web app, considering modernization and scalability in its architecture. Our web development team covered every angle – from role-based access control to energy-saving calculations. Besides, the application generates customized PDF reports containing energy-saving recommendations based on the analysis. This comprehensive approach ensures a powerful and user-friendly tool for optimizing energy usage.
