Legacy Systems Upgrade
Promoting and contributing to the vision of a wasteless society through Legacy Systems Upgrade
Challenge
Re.Group’s focus is providing high quality services for the recovery and recycling of resources from waste, and they wanted to encourage and promote this to the Australian market
They acquired an existing legacy custom system, that was used in Canada for beverage container recycling
Re.Group sought to remediate and enhance the system, localising it to the Australian market
The existing system had issues with outdated code, maintainability, performance, scalability, and required a UX upgrade
Approach
Solentive completed a system review and audit of the existing solution, to identify significant risk areas and propose a new system architecture and remediation plan, that would meet Re.Group’s objectives
Solentive worked with Re.Group’s existing provider to quickly onboard and understand the existing solution so that local support could be provided
Integration recommendations were made, meaning the rewriting of the entire system was not necessary, which would save time and reduce costs
Improvements in UX, functionality and technical quality, resulted in an easy-to-use, robust and maintainable system being developed – “Return-It”
Outcomes
The container recycling program “Return-It” was piloted in the ACT with a view to rollout the program nationally
Re.Group have seen significant uptake of the solution in the ACT, and the ability to donate proceeds to charity has boosted recycling within the state
Organisational control and visibility have increased, and business performance has accelerated as a result of the program
