Context

Companies are shifting to more cost-effective, efficient and socially responsible practices for managing waste disposal. Long story short, a truly circular economy is no longer a pipe dream. Reducing costs, ameliorating CO2 emissions, and turning resources into revenue are now goals that are inherently connected, but where to start?

ASPIRE works as the linchpin for these goals. A grassroots portal connecting recyclers to reliable sources and buyers, the platform empowers users to exchange waste as a resource. As a certified B Corporation—and an Australian start-up—the group aimed for new heights in 2020. Namely, expansion into Asia.

As a fellow B Corp, ASPIRE approached PALO IT to help in this venture. With a development team based in Australia, the business was facing unique challenges in both scaling their global business and seamlessly integrating their brand into a new market.

Outcomes

At the project's conclusion, ASPIRE had transitioned from an unknown time frame, to a one-hour average for configuring a new development environment for a new locale (starting with Hong Kong).

The PALO IT team standardised best practices for security and ease of deployment in current and future markets, and defined a bespoke roadmap for further scaling business, reach and impact long into the future.
