Following the discontinuation of the legacy system (SAGERS), the DFFE required a ground-up rebuild of the SAIGE platform to manage South Africa’s greenhouse gas inventory. The challenge involved navigating extreme data density and complex calculation logic while facilitating high-stakes collaboration between internal government departments and external industry stakeholders. With stringent and complex regulatory requirements in place, the goal was to transform a defunct process into a streamlined digital workflow. We focused on establishing a clear information architecture that prioritised data integrity and user accuracy, ensuring that the interface facilitates a workflow that could handle multi-sectoral inputs without compromising usability or the precision required by global climate protocols.

Despite healthy onboarding rates, the then platform's value proposition didn't drive consistent engagement; existing features weren't enough of a daily hook to drive consistent logins. It was viewed as a static asset rather than a functional tool, resulting in low login rates, membership renewal frictions and a disconnect between the physical tap and digital engagement. We shifted the focus from a passive digital business card to an active lead-generation ecosystem. By integrating "Tap-to-Lead" capture flow and AI card scanning, the app became a vital CRM utility. This shift necessitated the analytics dashboard overhaul, turning "trapped" backend data into actionable growth insights for users.
