ATRS: Powering Smarter Recycling with Route Optimization and Real-Time Data Insights
A dual-app solution with a driver tablet for route optimization and a real-time admin dashboard, streamlining textile recycling logistics across 10,000+ donation sites.
Our Approach
1. Discover
We collaborated with ATRS business stakeholders and SME employees to understand driver workflows and management challenges. Through discovery, we uncovered inefficiencies in route optimization and lack of real-time reporting for administrators.
2. Define
We defined the dual-application approach: a driver-facing Android tablet app for routing and data capture, and an admin-facing dashboard for managers to monitor operations. This roadmap addressed both frontline and back-office challenges.
3. Design
Our design emphasized simplicity for drivers in the field, ensuring large touch targets and offline resilience. The dashboard was designed with clear data visualization, enabling quick insights for administrators.
4. Develop
We developed the mobile and web applications with robust data capture, synchronization, and reporting capabilities. Both were engineered to handle scale across thousands of routes and donation bins.
5. Delight
The launch provided drivers with a streamlined toolset while empowering managers with actionable data. The real-time visibility delighted leadership and became a foundation for forecasting and strategic decision-making.

Let's Get StartedWhat our clients say
SeeSaw Labs’ work exceeded all of my expectations. They’ve helped us think differently about what it means to define a product, to know what problems to solve, and to understand what a customer needs. When we get into actual development, the success metrics will be around time and budget. In terms of general project evaluation, SeeSaw Labs hit all of their milestones and deliverables on time and with high quality — that in and of itself is great.
We don’t have an internal product team, and SeeSaw has been able to think and innovate for something that started as imaginary. Their ability to put this imagination into a process and create a reality that can be touched has been amazing. Rather than taking orders, they suggest the best options from their perspective to ensure that the output adds value. Other companies do what we want and then come back and say it didn’t work. SeeSaw gives us advice that we choose to accept or set aside.
