Energy
Africa GreenTec is a pioneer in the field of sustainable energy supply and is passionately committed to the electrification of sub-Saharan Africa, where more than 600 million people have no access to electricity. By implementing holistic system solutions such as ImpactSites®, the company transforms rural communities by providing not only reliable but also affordable electricity that exceeds European standards. With innovative products such as the Solartainer®, Africa GreenTec harnesses Africa’s abundant solar energy and brings it together with a smart, prepaid-based distribution network that also enables remote maintenance and detailed data analysis.
The ImpactSites developed by Africa GreenTec empower local communities to take their economic and social development into their own hands. The provision of electricity creates new jobs and sources of income, while improved cold chains and water treatment technologies help mitigate the effects of climate change. Close collaboration with local partners not only guarantees the success of each project, but also promotes the self-determination and growth of communities.
As a social enterprise, Africa GreenTec measures its success not only in terms of profits, but above all in terms of its social and ecological impact. With a business model based on sustainability and equality, Africa GreenTec shows how companies can achieve real change by acting responsibly. Its projects are designed to be sustainable and to improve living conditions locally so that future generations can also benefit from these innovations.
The project involved implementing an efficient interface between the contact and enquiry forms on the website and the client's ERP system. The use of the REST API enables seamless and secure data transfer in real time. This optimises internal processes and improves the company's responsiveness to customer enquiries by making information immediately and automatically available in the ERP system. The solution ensures a high level of data integrity and security, while also increasing the user-friendliness of the platform.
To maximise website performance, an advanced caching system has been established. It combines static caching for dynamic content, significantly reducing loading times. Merging CSS and JS files minimises the overhead when loading the page. Implementing an in-memory cache with REDIS ensures extremely fast data retrieval times and efficient handling of peak loads. In addition, the integration of a content delivery network (CDN) helps to bring content geographically closer to the end user, improving the speed and availability of the website globally.
This project includes an innovative language selection solution that is automatically based on the user's location. Geo-localisation makes it possible to offer visitors to the website a tailored experience by automatically setting the appropriate language that best suits the user's geographical location. This functionality not only supports user-friendliness through personalised content, but also improves the global reach of the platform by ensuring accessible communication regardless of linguistic differences.
