Nature and technology go hand in hand, and at Wolfpack Digital, we’ve learned to strengthen our relationship with nature by embracing innovation. In our case, just like a real wolf depends on the green ecosystem, being close to nature is a genuine and intuitive lifestyle we have grown accustomed to. That love for nature shows not only in the GreenTech mobile and web apps we build, but also in our daily lives at the office and the green initiatives we believe in and support.
GreenTech apps built by the Pack
With vast experience across several industries, we build successful web platforms and mobile apps for transportation, fintech, health tech, IoT, education and recruitment, sports, and green tech.
A green web solution raising awareness about deforestation
One summer, the Wolfpack Digital team was one of the sponsors of The Potaissa Street initiative in Cluj-Napoca. Its mission is to create a green oasis in the city’s busy streets by inviting local florists with various flowers and plants. It’s a special occasion for a community that loves nature to support local florists and give the city a fresh vibe and look. Our team decided to support this green initiative and build a web solution covering the critical state of Romanian forests and cruel deforestation. For context, not so long ago Romania was home to almost 65% of Europe’s primeval forests, and studies show that in Romania an average of 3 hectares is deforested each hour.
A group of our colleagues passionate about this topic created an information and awareness campaign. The result was a beautifully moss-framed picture, which acted as a gateway to a website offering data-based facts and tips on how we can all live more sustainably.
An IoT app for plants
Our journey with GreenTech started with the Raindrops project, an IoT app for plant management and irrigation. Raindrops is the result of a collaboration between several companies and professionals who bring expertise in electronics, industrial design, marketing, and software development, which we were responsible for.
Thanks to its remarkable concept, Raindrops has gathered attention from media outlets and stole the spotlight at local tech conferences. All in all, Raindrops is an IoT system that connects a smart flowerpot with a mobile app, letting users see the plant’s real-time status and schedule automated irrigation.
An eco-friendly team of wolves
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit unexpectedly, our team of designers crafted reusable masks so our safety wouldn’t come at the cost of more pollution.
We adopted a selective recycling approach at our office, and we had a special guest who gave a presentation with practical tips on how to recycle correctly and how the whole process works. To paraphrase a well-known saying, we keep our friends close, but our plants closer. We try, as much as possible, to create a greener environment at our office by adding a small oasis of plants that keeps the air fresh and productivity up.
Going green is a long journey, but we keep taking small steps toward an eco-friendly lifestyle.
