ecoSPIRITS

CircularOne began as a project that had been in development for a year but was not yet ready for the business to use. We took it over and built the platform around their operation: partner management, hardware tracking, IoT integration and a central data bank. It now supports their operations worldwide, and we continue to extend it today.

The challenge

ecoSPIRITS reduces single-use glass waste through closed-loop systems. After raising $10 million in Series A funding, the company needed a digital platform to run operations globally and to support its partners.

It engaged a vendor to build one. After a year of development, the platform was not yet ready for the business to use, and ecoSPIRITS still did not have the tools it needed to progress.

The recovery had a deadline attached. What was needed was a working product under a tight timeline, not a fresh start.

What we did

Agile Labs took over the stalled project and built the CircularOne platform. The sequence was recovery first and expansion afterwards: deliver something that works, then extend it.

Rapid MVP

A working platform covering partner management, hardware tracking and operational oversight.

Predictive models

AI applied to hardware usage, fault detection and product recalls.

A central data repository

A secure store aggregating operational and sustainability data, which is what made analysis across the estate possible at all.

IoT integration

Tuya IoT technology monitoring hardware performance in real time.

Data lake

Sensor readings, hardware events and partner activity are stored together in their raw form, allowing the data to be analysed later for different purposes.

The outcome

CircularOne became the operating backbone of the business.

“Agile Labs exceeded expectations, its quality was crucial in scaling our project into a global web and mobile platform, now deployed worldwide. Since then, our collaboration has expanded to include advancements in AI and machine learning. The team’s insights refined workflows, saved time, and ensured smooth, incremental deliverables through their Agile expertise.”
