B2B Online Purchasing Web App

Ecotrade trades and recycles waste material that contains precious metals, e.g. scrap catalytic converters. They have office locations in almost 20 countries worldwide. As Ecotrade operates in the B2B sector of e-commerce, their customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders have two main channels to interact with each other: Ecotrade web application and Ecotrade mobile application.

The Ecotrade web application was one of the first large-scale web applications we started to develop several years ago. We constantly work on improvements as part of an adaptive maintenance process. The main purpose of the web application is to offer a database of scrap catalytic converters to the users that includes all car manufacturers, real-time value and price calculation with the current commodity prices. In a typical use case, a supplier customer adds products to the shopping cart which at check-out are sold to Ecotrade.

Outside the countries of operation, Ecotrade offers subscription-based access to the database so that the subscribers can check the current prices of their scrap catalytic converters. The subscriptions are available on both the web app and the mobile app.
