"How much climate footprint can we reduce by circulating more?"
Share and reuse
Helsingborg innovation hub wants to help everyone feel like climate heroes by enabling the circulation of items. A digital service like "Haffa" will allow city members to play their part in saving the environment. Instead of buying new furniture and objects, every department will become better at sharing. We helped Helsingborg to push Haffa past its growth issues to help increase engagement and simplify future innovation.
Lessen climate footprint by sharing internal resources
We helped on
Frontend, Backend, AWS, and OpenSearch
Implemented to be built upon
When we met with Helsingborg Innovation Hub, they had already released Haffa and were doing beta testing. Haffa as a concept was working, and the city was ready to move the codebase from a proof of concept to the next scale-up phase.
Haffa isn't only made to help share and circulate items. Helsingborg wishes that even the code base could be shared and built upon with other municipalities. To support the introduction of new developers, we rewrote the backend in Typescript and added unit tests for quality assurance. We set up a streamlined, simple, and automated pipeline to allow us and other developers to add new features at a low cost.
Improve Haffa's user experience
When the codebase was stable and easy to develop, the next step was to increase department participation by removing user experience pain points. We did this by improving how users created new accounts, adding new e-mail notifications, improving the installed PWA experience, enabling inventory in advertisements, creating a custom login page, and setting up a more robust and flexible search using OpenSearch.
Haffa: dela, cirkulera, återanvänd!
