Symphony designed and delivered - on time and on budget - a new wireless system monitoring application called C.L.E.A.N. (Collection Logistics Efficiency and Notification) that connects all BigBelly compaction systems in a region to a central database, allowing clients to determine when specific devices need to be emptied or serviced in real time.

Working in parallel with BigBelly senior management, the Symphony development team engineered an end-to-end software solution to deliver unparalleled cost efficiencies and environmental benefits of its compaction systems.

Working against an aggressive timeline, Symphony engineered and delivered the new system on budget in 3 months, exceeding BigBelly's expectations for quality and timing.

Symphony Services successfully engineered key components to the functionality of the new software. By leveraging SMS (text message) technology, Symphony built in the ability to send and receive messages to the central database, alerting clients when specific compactors need to be serviced.

The Symphony development team built an advanced API that integrates with Google Maps, ensuring customers can pinpoint more precise routes when servicing the compactors, optimizing collection efficiency and maximizing cost savings.

"As our revolutionary compaction system continues to build traction in the marketplace we felt it was imperative to engineer even greater intelligence into each system, enhancing both the cost-savings and environmental impact that our systems can make," said Jim Poss, chief executive officer, BigBelly Solar.

"The Symphony team brought an appreciation for and professional approach towards product development that we needed to take our products to the next level. From the outset you could feel the difference in working with Symphony's team. They were very thorough in their assessment of our needs - before the work even began - and developed a differentiated product vision and a resulting technology that will greatly help us expand our business."

BigBelly is the world's only solar-powered cordless compaction system. Using the sun's energy to automatically compact trash at the point of disposal, BigBelly dramatically increases capacity by 5 times within the same footprint as ordinary receptacles, reducing collection trips and cutting related fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent.

"Our work with BigBelly Solar has demonstrated once again our proven skill at evolving our clients' already excellent products into market-changing solutions," said Mike Thomas, executive vice president, sales and marketing.

"BigBelly came to Symphony with an expectation that we would deliver a re-architected technology that would greatly impact the product's ability to sell itself, and we're very pleased to have met their expectations for quality - and to have delivered the new solution on time and on budget."
