  • Chemical search engine: Develop a web application which takes in a list of chemicals provided by a potential customer and searches for a match within HP’s internal database. The input format of the list of chemicals can be in the form of pdf, excel, word, email, photo, or audio. The application should also build up a record of chemicals that customers have been requested, be able to visualise them so it is easy to understand which chemicals are checked for most, and alert the team when a new chemical is seen for the first time. Optional: implement a web search feature which finds related chemicals or compounds containing the searched chemical and tries to find its match in the database.
  • Gamification to enable a circular economy: Develop a mobile application to gamify the returns process for consumer goods to enable a circular supply chain thereby increasing reuse and eliminating waste. The application can include features like tracking and rewarding progress, no-cost rewards, long-term gamification, creative UX and game design, and social-media-based gamification.
