Project Overview
The Restart Project needed improvements to their Fixometer tool, a data collection platform that measures the impact of community-led electronics repair activities. By enhancing the tool’s design, functionality, and transitioning it to Laravel, we created a more user-friendly and scalable platform. This has empowered The Restart Project to collect valuable data, strengthen their community engagement, and support their advocacy work for sustainable electronics.
Project Objective.
The objective was to improve the Fixometer tool’s usability and functionality, facilitating data collection and wider usage. Our team’s goal was to enhance user experience through a redesign, while migrating the platform to Laravel for better performance. This transformed Fixometer into a robust tool that supports The Restart Project’s data-driven advocacy, reinforcing their mission to reduce electronic waste.

Updating the ‘Fixometer’ tool.
We conducted a UX assessment of the Fixometer, identifying key improvements to make the tool more accessible and user-friendly. After redesigning and enhancing functionality, we migrated the code to Laravel, optimising performance and scalability.
This upgrade has transformed Fixometer into a central platform for tracking community repair data, supporting The Restart Project’s outreach and advocacy goals. The enhanced tool now serves as an effective resource for promoting sustainability and influencing policy around electronic waste.
