New Release of Dumpster Rentals Cooperative System
In February this year Dumpster Rentals Cooperative Technical Solution Group started to work on a new release of Dumpster Rentals Cooperative System.
We will fix all the known bugs and deliver a few enhancements to improve System performance. Also, we are planning to implement several new features that will enhance System's reporting capabilities.
In addition, we would like to revise and possibly modify the 'Sorting Algorithm' that governs the order in which the System displays companies (Service Providers) for a selected location. Currently the sorting algorithm is based on the bid amount. While sorting the list of the companies, the System displays the highest bidder on the top of the list.
We received several requests from our Senior Members to revise and modify the algorithm for the best interests of our consumers - individuals who rent roll off containers and dumpsters from our members. More specifically, it was suggested to keep considering 'Hard Criteria' such as bid amount while including into the algorithm a so called 'soft criteria'. Applying this Soft Criteria may help to recognize and promote the most reliable, trustworthy companies. This in turn will ensure that our customers keep receiving the highest possible level of professional services in the industry.
Please Note: Before implementing the new algorithm we would like to receive from our Dumpster Rentals Cooperative members as much feedback as possible and analyse it. We don't want to develop and deploy the Sorting Algorithm that would benefit one company while compromising interests of another but rather build the Sorting Algorithm that would be fair and acceptable by all the team members.
Below are the 'Soft Criteria' that may be included into consideration during sorting process:
- Number of years in business
- Size of the Service Coverage Area
- Seniority (Number of years, months with Dumpster Rentals Cooperative)
- Testimonials from happy customers
- Lack of complaints from customers
- Displaying Dumpster Rentals Cooperative icon on the member's own website
- Conversion-Through-Rate (CTR). CTR calculated as Number Of Impressions divided by Number Of Conversions.
