Last year, students and high school students from Nowy Sacz faced the challenge of designing a mobile application for the city's residents as part of the Sącz IT Adepts. Over the past months, we have been perfecting the awarded project so that it could see the light of day and be helpful to the residents of the Sącz region.

EcoGuide - is an application that facilitates waste recycling by providing a personalized collection schedule and practical waste management tips for households. It is available for free to all residents of Nowy Sącz.

The app supports residents by:

Personalizing the garbage collection schedule: Simply enter your address and EcoGuide will provide you with the latest garbage collection schedule information tailored to your location in Nowy Sacz.
Waste collection notifications: The app will notify you of an upcoming waste collection date from the address you provided.
Accurate waste segregation information: The app provides tips on how to properly segregate waste, telling you how to properly prepare it for collection.
Facilitating bulky waste collection: EcoGuide not only helps you segregate regular waste, but also makes it easier to get rid of bulky waste. The app tells you the location of collection points, so you can easily find the nearest PSZOK.

We are extremely proud of the achievements of the students from Nowy Sacz - the author and interns, working on the app with the support of our organization. EcoGuide is available for download for Android and iOS devices.

The goal of our company is to provide customers with software that meets business requirements and is easy to maintain. Every programmer would like the software he has developed not to be a problem in further development. There are situations when, having worked on a project for a long time, the programmer comes to the conclusion that something has gone wrong, software development provides more and more problems, consumes more and more resources, which consequently causes dissatisfaction of the client.

When it comes to project development at Tukano Software House, we focus on a clear architecture that will give form to the code base and will not cause consternation to the programmers who will be working on it. The right architecture promotes ease of maintenance of the software, i.e. faster development of the application's functionality and better adaptation to the client's business needs.

At Tukano Software House, we use patterns, organizing the code base in the solutions we implement. Our favorite approach is the use of a layered architecture along with the implementation of business logic using the CQRS pattern. This approach very well separates the code responsible for executing the logic of a particular application from its other layers related to, for example, visualization or data access. We are able to use platforms based on the MVC pattern, which is very popular in the web environment. We also implement solutions using the MVVM pattern aimed at environments.
