THE MOST COMMON USES OF WASTE MANAGEMENT

Cost control – For many businesses, collection, transportation, and disposal costs of waste can rack up large amounts with many who may fall prey to things such as landfill tax, skip hires or waste carrier service fees.

Waste management software aids in identifying and then selecting the most cost-effective services such as collection, transportation, treatments and disposers. Keeping track of waste production will also help to determine the minimum number of waste collection and disposal services required, meaning you won’t be paying for more than what is needed.

Further to identifying services, waste management software can then manage invoicing and any estimated cost for future waste disposals, ensuring you always have your costs under control.

Improved compliance – Waste management software includes all regulations and standards applicable to disposal processes carried out by your chosen firm. Not only does this allow you to oversee any work to completion, but also provides a better understanding of what waste amounts are being generated, ensuring you can make the most informed decision and utilise the correct systems for waste management and recycling programs.

Data gathering / Monitoring – For many waste management businesses it is crucial that all the waste activity is documented properly. Waste management software produces detailed reports for users. Users can easily monitor their fleet as well as check on tasks that are complete or pending by monitoring the metrics on the system. Users also have the ability to add and edit information when required.

Scheduling – It’s highly likely that your business will be juggling multiple projects all at once and sometimes it’s hard to stay on top of all their progress simultaneously. With data analytics of a waste management system, you can gain visibility of everything that’s happening in your business, in every department! This allows you and your team to keep track and schedule what needs to be done and when.

Simplicity – As your business grows, you will have multiple projects which may have previously required several databases or folders of paperwork. Waste management platforms bring the team and your data and project processes together, as all can work from one system and accessed anywhere by anyone in your business! Accessing the waste management platform through the cloud-based system ensures efficiency in your team as you are all working with the same data and having a consistent workflow across the business.

Types Of Waste Management

SOFTWARE INCLUDE:

Cloud Based Software – Cloud based platforms are hosted in an Internet-based data centre. It allows software and hardware products to co-exist remotely instead of inside a company’s’ server room. This also allows for software to be implemented and maintained consistently and instantly. Previous spreadsheets and paperwork can be automated, and it’s not just for the office based. It can also be accessed by those on the road and across the business and can be readily available to every appropriate employee on their mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets whenever they need it on the go.

SaaS – SaaS refers to Software-as-aService. SaaS is a component of cloud computing installed on the software provider’s computers and is available online for the users to collaborate on, such as a shared CRM application or calendar. SaaS provides already developed software, through a monthly or annual subscription, without any responsibility to maintain the software.

Apps – The possibilities with Apps are endless and can be used to provide information, or connect to a smart system such as smart bins. More and more apps are being developed to help consumers manage their waste. For example, apps like RecycleNation and iRecycle provide users with information on recycling rates and centre locations and help to inform those on items can be recycled.

Using software tools to manage waste can provide a range of benefits, and make things simpler and more efficient for everyone. However, the real reward is a contribution to a better environment. It’s time to embrace the waste technologies that look to hasten the process of change to a greener future.
