SepticMate is an Australian mobile-first solution created by plumbing industry expert Jacob Ford. Built out of 17+ years of hands-on experience, the app helps septic and wastewater service providers streamline inspections, track maintenance, and eliminate manual paperwork—making operations more efficient and compliant.
The project aimed to digitize the management of wastewater treatment systems with a secure, scalable, and user-friendly platform. We developed a cross-platform mobile app with React Native, supported by a Node.js + Postgres backend, and a Next.js web dashboard for operators. Tailwind CSS was used to ensure a consistent, responsive UI across devices.

🎯 Challenge & Innovation
The main challenge was transitioning service providers from paper-based workflows to a fully digital system. Using React Native and Next.js, we created a smooth, mobile-first experience, while Node.js and PostgreSQL ensured scalability and security. Tailwind CSS helped us design a simple, intuitive interface, making adoption easier for on-ground professionals.
