UCOFY

Methods & Journey

Project Summary: UCOFY is a smart digital platform designed to manage and monitor the entire lifecycle of Used Cooking Oil (UCO) collection — from restaurants to processing facilities. The system improves operational efficiency, ensures transparency, tracks drivers in real-time, monitors tank levels (via IoT sensors if integrated), and provides complete reporting and accountability. The platform is structured into five dedicated applications/roles:

• Approve and manage companies
• View all system data across all companies
• Configure pricing, commissions, thresholds, and alerts
• Monitor drivers and supervisors
• Manage subscription plans
• Access audit logs and security monitoring

Dashboard Includes:

• Total collected oil (daily, monthly, yearly)
• Active companies
• Driver and company performance summaries
• Live collection overview map

1. Admin App

(Company-Level Management Control)

The Admin manages operations within a specific company.

Main Responsibilities:

• Add and manage Supervisors
• Add and manage Drivers
• Register restaurants and collection points
• Assign collection routes

• Manage contracts and agreements

Admin Capabilities:

• View real-time driver locations
• Monitor completed and pending pickups
• Track daily, weekly, and monthly collection data

1. Supervisor App

(Field Operations Management) The Supervisor oversees daily field operations.

Main Responsibilities:

• Assign pickup tasks to drivers
• Monitor route efficiency

• Monitor daily collection targets and performance
• Supervisor Dashboard:
• Daily target vs actual collection
• Route performance tracking
• Driver productivity metrics

1. Driver App

(Collection Agent / Field Operator)

The Driver app is used by field staff responsible for collecting used cooking oil.

Main Responsibilities:

• View assigned pickup list
• Navigate to locations using map integration
• Enter collected quantity (liters or kilograms)
• Upload proof photos
• Capture digital signature if required
• Mark collection as completed

Driver Workflow:

• Accept assigned pickup
