Our client needed a user-friendly portal for energy-saving program applications. We developed this secure, efficient, and intuitive platform, enhancing user engagement and streamlining loan and financing processes for energy-efficient equipment.
Green Energy is a prominent player in the energy sector, specialising in renewable energy generation and storage investments. With a history dating back to 1995, the company boasts extensive expertise spanning various areas, including project development, non-recourse financing, design, construction and asset management.
Green Energy has contracted capacity in multiple countries, including Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam, totalling over 130 MW.
This portal needed to accommodate diverse user roles while ensuring security, efficiency and usability for administrators, contractors and sellers. Green Energy aimed to streamline loan processes and equipment financing.
We addressed these challenges in collaboration with Green Energy by designing and developing a portal. It streamlines the complex processes of loan approval and equipment financing. This solution enhanced user engagement, promoted environmental sustainability, and resulted in substantial cost savings. The combined expertise of Green Energy and Computools in project analysis, development, and technology stack utilisation made this solution possible.
The newly created portal has streamlined the processes relating to loan approval and equipment financing, making it easier for users to access financing for energy-efficient equipment.
The adoption of this portal and the energy-saving programmes it supports have contributed to environmental sustainability. Users are more inclined to adopt energy-efficient solutions, reducing their carbon footprint.
The portal has enabled individuals, contractors and sellers to make more informed decisions regarding energy-efficient equipment.
Green Energy chose Computools for this project due to their software development expertise, ability to create user-friendly solutions, and experience in developing efficient and secure platforms. We demonstrated a deep understanding of the client’s needs and a commitment to creating a solution that aligns with Green Energy’s sustainability goals. Their project analysis, technology stack, and development capabilities made them the ideal partner for this venture.
Green Energy wanted to develop a management system for different user groups. An inconvenient application process discouraged users. At the same time, it was difficult for employees to process many applications quickly and clearly due to non-unified processes.
Green Energy recognised the need for a user-centric platform to streamline its energy-saving programmes. Through industry research, it discovered various portal solutions but decided to have one custom-made.
Our team thoroughly analysed project requirements, defining features and user roles. Experts formulated a detailed project plan outlining the portal’s architecture, features, and user flows. Then, we designed an intuitive user interface and developed the portal based on the planned architecture and features.
Key solutions included implementing robust security measures to protect user data and customising algorithms to optimise the loan approval process.
The design aimed to optimise user satisfaction and significantly increase user engagement. We created a design that reflected the Green Energy brand identity, emphasising its commitment to environmental sustainability.
Creating detailed profiles of typical users.
Visualising the website's structure and hierarchy.
Sketching layouts for web page elements.
Designing the interactive user experience.
