Development of an Integrated Waste Management Dashboard for Optimizing Data Processing and Reporting in Waste Transfer Stations

Waste management in Indonesia is becoming increasingly complex with rising waste volumes, and current practices are far from optimal. One contributing factor is the manual administrative processes at Waste Transfer Stations (WTS), which consume significant time and hinder effective management. To address inefficiencies in waste data handling at WTS, this paper proposes an integrated dashboard that improves the efficiency of data recording and reporting that supports decision-making on WTS waste management. Using a prototyping methodology, we iteratively designed and built the system utilizing Golang (Fiber) for the backend, Next.js and Tailwind CSS for the front end, and PostgreSQL as the database. The deployed system handles approximately 15 requests/s with an average response time of 300 ms and achieves 85.7% positive user satisfaction, indicating notable improvements in efficiency compared to manual processes. This study is one of the first to develop a digital system specifically designed to enhance WTS administrative efficiency in Indonesia. The results of this study demonstrate that the integrated dashboard streamlines WTS data management by eliminating the manual workload of compiling daily waste data. By reducing administrative burdens and ensuring well-managed data, the system enables human resources to be reallocated toward broader collaborative opportunities that support sustainable waste management initiatives.
