Development of a Cloud-Based "AI-Powered" CO₂ Calculation Platform

Job ID: 40401397

Budget: €1,500 – €3,000 EUR

I am looking for a partner to develop a centralized cloud-based CO₂ calculation platform for a construction and infrastructure company operating across multiple branches and project sites.

The purpose of the platform is to provide one central digital system for collecting emissions-related operational data, automatically calculating CO₂ emissions, and generating dashboards, analytics, and reporting.

The system should be accessible through:

Web platform (desktop/browser)

Mobile UI (applications for Android and iOS)

Both web and mobile applications should be fully connected to one central cloud database and calculation engine, so all branches work within the same platform.

Core Functions
The platform should calculate CO₂ emissions from operational areas such as:

Fleet & transportation

Construction equipment & machinery

Building materials (cement, steel, concrete, asphalt, etc.)

Energy consumption (offices, camps, project sites)

Business travel

Waste management / recycling

Users should be able to input data manually, upload files/documents, and submit data directly through the mobile app from project sites.

AI Features
The platform should include AI-powered functions such as:

Automatic estimation where data is missing

Detection of unusual or incorrect entries

Smart recommendations for emission factors

Predictive CO₂ forecasting (monthly / annual / project-based)

Trend analysis and reduction opportunity suggestions

Intelligent categorization of uploaded documents/data

Flexible Category Management
Administrators should be able to create new emission categories, products, materials, or fuel types manually, including defining their emission factors, units, and classifications, without needing software redevelopment.

This creates a growing internal emissions database that can be reused across all branches.

Dashboards & Reporting
The platform should provide:

Real-time CO₂ dashboards

Emissions by category / project / branch

Historical trend analysis

Benchmarking between branches

Charts and statistics

Exportable PDF / Excel reports

Technical Requirements
Preferred solution:

Secure cloud hosting

Web application + mobile apps

Centralized database

Shared backend API

Role-based access control

Scalable architecture for regional rollout

High security and audit trail

Please provide your recommendation regarding architecture, timeline, estimated cost, and suitable technology stack.
