Project Summary

Rootquotient designed and developed a custom carbon-calculator platform for a carbon accounting company using Node.js, React.js, and PostgreSQL, hosted on AWS. They delivered low- and high-fidelity designs, a beta release, and a finalized first version while running a pilot with Canadian food and beverage companies. The vendor was responsive, addressed bugs quickly, integrated third-party APIs (including Google Maps), and continues to provide support and maintenance.

Key Challenges

We needed a software development partner
Build a carbon-intelligence platform and define its user journeys

Project Deliverables

Low-fidelity and high-fidelity designs
Beta version of the carbon calculator platform
Final production version of the platform
Integration of third-party APIs (including Google Maps API)
Hosting and deployment on AWS
Ongoing support and maintenance

Project Solution

Rootquotient scoped the project's requirements and delivered a business proposal. They led an intelligence-gathering stage to define user journeys, produced low- and high-fidelity designs, and developed the platform in staged sprints. The team delivered an initial beta, ran a pilot with Canadian food and beverage companies, identified and fixed bugs from user feedback, integrated third-party APIs (including Google Maps API), and continues to build features while providing ongoing support and maintenance. The implementation used Node.js for the backend, React.js for the frontend, PostgreSQL for databases, and hosting on AWS.

Project Outcome

Positive user feedback and an intuitive, easy-to-use platform
Stable platform with bugs addressed within 24–48 hours during beta
Accurate carbon calculations validated by the client's own testing
Seamless third-party API integrations, including Google Maps API
