The problem
Businesses consume water and chemicals continuously across dozens of sites, but almost none of it is measured. Connect Clean needed smart dispensers that measure every use, a backend to ingest readings continuously and securely, and a dashboard where a manager anywhere could see every location and device at once.
My approach
Device connectivity & ingestion
A secure backend interface field-deployed dispensers report into continuously rather than on a polling schedule, handling devices dropping off and reconnecting so the record stays consistent.
Backend & data model
Node.js API and processing layer modeling organizations, sites, devices, cartridges, and time-series usage readings that roll up from device to site to estate.
Alerting
Real-time alerting on low supply, equipment faults, and anomalous consumption, with thresholds tuned to stay actionable rather than routine noise.
Reporting & analytics
Per-site and per-period consumption views, cross-location comparisons, and trends businesses use to identify waste and evidence sustainability targets.
Dashboard frontend
Next.js monitoring interface for facility managers: a single view across all locations, live status, alert handling, and report generation.
