Company Profile

The CoBRA scheme (Community Battery Recycling Alliance) was introduced after its creator found that it was not possible to collect batteries on behalf of his community. In the first two years over 58 collection points were created throughout Cornwall and Isles of Scilly collecting in excess of 35 tonnes of batteries.

Brief

The CoBRA team needed an online solution to streamline the signup process and ongoing management of their users as well as simplifying the process of form-filling for their volunteers.

Solution

Durodata developed an online solution utilising ASP.NET 4 and SQL Server. The site consists of three distinct areas:

The main CoBRA Scheme website conveys information about the company and its objectives. In addition to this we are utilising the data held in the SQL Server database to allow users to search and locate recycling points in their local area by displaying the information on a Google Map interface embedded into the site. Through the online CMS system CoBRA are able to update core areas of the site to keep the content fresh, relevant and up to date.

Signup and account management was an important part of the development. Users are able to sign-up to the scheme online and produce the necessary documentation to accompany the batteries with minimum effort significantly reducing the time spent both by them and the administration team to a minimum. Graphical battery meters displaying the user’s progress towards a target give immediate feedback and keep the user informed of their progress.

As well as a CMS system to keep the site data up to date we developed a suite of tools to help the CoBRA management team administer their users and keep track of the progress made both at a local and national level. In addition to these tools access restrictions at multiple levels allows them to keep full control over their data.

Testimonial

“When I first arrived at Durodata, who were recommended to me by a friend, I had expected to meet the usual quarry of creative, but disorganised ‘tekkies’. However, at Durodata I was pleasantly surprised to find nothing could have been further from the truth. In my in-depth consultation they listened intently, asked poignant and important questions and within ten minutes, had a full understanding of my business, its needs and even had suggestions for solutions I hadn’t even considered. Following this, they delivered a truly superb website, on time, over and above the spec I was expecting and at a price that was more competitive than I would have ever imagined... and their support has been second to none, too. In short; I can’t recommend Durodata highly enough if you want a web solution that lasts, created by guys who know what they are doing and are relaxed and professional in just the right measure.”
