In the modern world, you won’t find many businesses or industries that get by without technology. Waste management is certainly one of those industries, with technology and software changing the landscape considerably. Technology is everywhere in the waste management industry, from gaining data and business insights to ensuring regulatory compliance. Let’s look at how software is changing how waste management companies operate.
Analytics
In any business, data is invaluable. It helps waste management companies make smart business decisions, deploy resources more effectively, and increase productivity. When we look at software and technology, getting caught up in their key functions is easy. But a system that provides operational data and insights is like gold.
For example, the FlexPoint WinWeigh weighbridge software is used in countless waste management facilities and delivers unrivalled reporting. Users can easily access the metrics they need and generate simple reports at the touch of a button.
This data helps get an idea of the busiest times of the day, week or year and lets managers roster staff more effectively. Even something as simple as gathering customer postcode data can inform waste management facilities of the best areas to consider expansion or marketing efforts.
Systems integration
The great thing about technology is its variety of uses, and this is certainly true in the waste management industry. Think about all of the different systems you have in place. RFID readers, weighbridges, cameras, security systems and more. Now, imagine if these could all be incorporated into one easy system.
FlexPoint WinWeigh integrates seamlessly with a range of different software programs, such as accounting, payment and inventory systems. You can even link it to hardware (security cameras, RFID readers and license plate recognition cameras).
Tracking commercial waste
The FlexPoint itemised waste management software is designed to capture valuable data and monitor waste streams. Used primarily in facilities such as schools, apartment buildings, hospitals and office blocks, you can accurately monitor waste disposals per tenant. You can also find out how your recycling programs are going.
FlexPoint delivers itemised records to more accurately track waste management efforts, and its benefits go far beyond reducing waste and saving money on waste disposal. With a focus on recycling and sustainability, businesses can easily improve their ecological footprint and increase their NABERs ratings.
Chain of Responsibility compliance
WinWeigh can also be set up to better handle chain of responsibility compliance issues. For example, with axle-based weighing systems, you can determine if vehicles are over their GVM and individual axle weight limits. You can even integrate with the National Heavy Vehicle Register database to ensure trucks using your facility are licensed and registered. Most importantly, accurate reports and historical data can assist in the event of CoR breaches.
