Client Background
Located in Southwest Florida, Sarasota County is a well-known vacation destination; population 372,057 (as of 2008). Sarasota County was one of 10 communities in 2006 to receive a prestigious designation by the National Civic League and Bob Hanson, chief information officer for Sarasota County government, was recognized by Government Technology magazine as one of the nation's top 25 “

Business Challenge
Hazardous Waste Management offers a program to assist businesses in properly disposing of their hazardous waste. It includes all non-profit organizations, churches, schools, apartment and/or condominium management groups, commercial property owners, landlords and government agencies. The business unit needed a system to track all hazardous waste deposits and pick-ups.
Solution
MethodFactory developed a touchscreen kiosk-based software solution to record all citizen drop offs of hazardous waste. This system includes a magnetic card reader, which enables auto registration by swiping the citizen's driver’s license. Ultimately intended for a touchscreen kiosk, the application was developed with large navigation icons and a very intuitive workflow.
