Gurru came to us with a goal: to build a platform that helps commercial property owners track and reduce waste, and move away from guesswork. Australia’s NABERS regulations were tightening, and building managers needed hard data to stay compliant and cut costs. That’s how Bintracker was born.
We joined as a dedicated team, not just to code, but to help shape the product end-to-end: from the mobile app used by cleaners, to the backend and reporting engine, to cloud infrastructure and integrations. It was never a typical vendor setup. We worked directly with Gurru’s co-founders, made fast product decisions together, and stayed close throughout.
Today, Bintracker runs in over 100 buildings, helps clients save $95,000 a year, and plays a real role in ESG and sustainability reporting. This case is about what happens when a company with deep industry expertise and a dedicated tech team work as one. With shared priorities, full trust, and clear results.
Before Bintracker, waste tracking in commercial buildings was mostly guesswork. No real data, just assumptions. Cleaners estimated bin weights, filled out forms manually, and managers ended up with inconsistent Excel sheets or generic PDF reports.
That approach simply couldn’t keep up.
In Australia, the introduction of stricter NABERS Waste Rating requirements raised the bar for environmental compliance. Property owners were now expected to report on waste volumes and composition with accuracy, not estimates.
Building managers needed more than a checklist. They needed:
Without a smarter system in place, they couldn’t make decisions — they could only react.
Bintracker was created to solve real-world frustrations faced on the ground.
After years in the waste management industry, the people behind the idea had seen how much money and opportunity were being lost due to outdated systems, missing data, and guesswork. Alongside that industry expertise came a strong technical vision: not for another tool, but for building a full infrastructure for waste intelligence.
Their goal was to create a product that would give property managers real visibility, automate reporting, and unlock both compliance and cost savings through accurate data.
They brought us in early — not just to write code, but to co-create the platform from the ground up. From the first conversation, it was clear this wouldn’t be a typical vendor-client engagement. It was a real partnership — and we built it together, step by step.
From the start, our role was full-cycle: designing, building, and scaling the technical backbone of Bintracker. Working closely with the product team, we translated business logic into reliable architecture and made sure the platform could grow as adoption expanded. We delivered:
We also helped design key UX flows, handled CI/CD with Azure DevOps, and set up scalable infrastructure for continuous delivery with minimal downtime.
We assembled a focused team — backend, frontend, QA, and PM — and worked directly with the product founders. They owned the vision and priorities. We owned delivery and execution.
Product decisions were made collaboratively. Feedback loops were short. Weekly releases kept momentum high, and we adapted quickly as the product matured.
That level of trust allowed us to move quickly, stay focused on outcomes, and make critical architectural choices together. It felt less like outsourcing and more like building something in-house. Just with more speed and less overhead.
I keep getting messages from other vendors trying to pitch their teams, but honestly, it’s not about the price for me. It’s the quality you deliver and how easy it is to work with your team. You get things done, you communicate clearly, and it always feels like we’re building this together. That’s rare.”
Bintracker wasn’t designed to check boxes. Instead, it was built to solve real operational pain points in commercial waste management. Every feature we developed had a clear business purpose: to save time, improve data accuracy, and turn reporting from a chore into a strategic asset.
Bintracker now powers smarter waste management for hundreds of buildings. With real savings, automation, and client success.

What makes Bintracker effective it’s how the entire system works together to create a self-reinforcing cycle of operational and strategic value.
Once accurate waste data starts flowing in, everything else gets easier and smarter.
Here’s how that impact compounds over time:
Cleaners log waste at the point of pickup — by location, stream, and tenant — using QR codes and Bluetooth scales.
Real-time insights highlight where contamination is happening or sorting is ineffective. Managers can adjust cleaning routines or re-engage tenants.
With better visibility, buildings can reduce overflow, avoid unnecessary hauls, and renegotiate contracts with waste providers.
Tenants receive feedback. Sustainability benchmarks improve. NABERS and ESG reporting becomes simpler and more accurate.
As more buildings join, organizations start seeing trends across locations — unlocking broader savings and strategic insights.
Each step fuels the next. That’s why Bintracker is a platform that improves with every site onboarded.
Bintracker is used across Australia’s most complex property portfolios: from corporate HQs to retail centers. The platform we helped build now powers smarter waste management at the national scale.
Live across Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, proving its adaptability in different property types and regions.
Gurru, the company behind Bintracker, is Australia’s largest NABERS Waste assessor, driving national compliance standards.
Bintracker is implemented in 19 of the 24 tallest office buildings in Melbourne. That’s a clear signal of trust from the country’s most prominent commercial assets.
Our work with Gurru didn’t stop at Bintracker.
When the platform proved successful, they came back to us to build more, including new products like CleanTracker, all based on the same scalable foundation.
You get things done, you communicate clearly, and it always feels like we’re building this together.”
