This is a Web Application Engineering Project at TUM University, Munich
Fairbundled is an online marketplace to enable municipalities to acquire sustainable and certified supplies by gathering offered sustainable products and bundling the demands of multiple buyers to achieve more affordable prices.
We are motivated to promote sustainable procurement in German municipalities!
Reported pains occurring during procurement processes in city administration are (i) high costs for sustainable products that do not match the budget and/or are difficult to justify, (ii) analogue, decentralized and bureaucratic overhead of product comparison, selection and ordering, and (iii) ambiguity with respect to certification integrity and relevance.
These are addressed by the following main features of Fairbundled:
- Order Bundling: Enabling customers to collectively submit an order, leads to larger order volumes which provide plannability and scaling effect on the supplier side, resulting in lower product prices.
- Online Marketplace: Fairbundled serves the one shop stop for online sustainable procurement irrespective of certain supplier products brands or product groups. Products are filterable and can be compared in a convenient, easy-to-access user interface.
- Certification Transparency: Fairbundled verifies integrity of relevant certifications with respect to sustainability aspects and displays is transparently in the user interface.
So don't hesitate:

The following table summarizes the status of specific implementation tasks structured by the app's URL's, associated Use Cases (see below) and Views.
Frontend implementation covers a well designed and functioning frontend interaction of a user whereas backend implementation covers the existence of respective endpoints, triggering the retrieval of well defined data from the database.
UC_I: Offer a product as supplier
UC_II: Search a product
UC_III-I: Create Fairbundle for specific product as municipality
UC_III-II: Join existing Fairbundle for a specific product as municipality
UC_IV: Analyze Municipality Activity
UC_GENERAL: General functionality, required for prototype
UC_ADDITIONAL: Regular Order Checkout (no collective / Fairbundle) order
