The general goal of the project initiated by Waybiller OÜ is to further develop a digital waybill software based on modern, innovative technologies and lean principles that enable to implement Waybiller.com with shorter deployment period, lower costs and flexible functionality. As an outcome of the project, construction and agriculture industries in the target markets of Waybiller OÜ, including Estonia and Norway, should be moving towards a digital solution, saving both natural and economical resources. A digital waybill software eliminates the need to manually fill out physical copies of waybills that reduces the time and effort throughout the transportation cycle and brings the paper costs of the transport companies to a minimum, which in turn has a positive impact on the natural environment.
The main target group of the development project is companies in the business field of agriculture and construction, who need to transport solid bulk goods by road. The main value proposition of Waybiller.com to their customers is the reduction of resources, those including time and human resources, as the shipments can be monitored digitally in real time.
The project will be carried out with a Norwegian partner Uppercase AS. Uppercase AS is a digital agency that takes part in the product development and design process. This partnership will bring together Estonian and Norwegian developers, IT architects, analysts, testers and designers. The partnership helps to share knowledge and experience in the SaaS development, digital waybill and road transport sector in Estonia and in Norway to potentially create synergies within the sectors in both countries.
