We’ve developed our software to give a complete audit trail of confidential waste, from the minute it leaves your site right up to the final invoice.
Our clients tell us they really appreciate the fact that they can always track their information and know where it is at all times.
Every console, container and bin you fill with, confidential waste has a unique barcode number, and all our drivers and operatives have handheld scanning devices. We scan each barcode at every stage in the process, giving you a record of the amount and type of waste, date and time of each service and the name of the driver or operative.
Our software can provide a complete history of each container, plus inventory reports. We can tell you how many containers you use on average, and produce environmental reports, showing the positive impact your company is having just by recycling your paper. The software also generates detailed invoices, identifying your activity by department or location.
As well as giving peace of mind to you, our software makes your processes more efficient. We’ll capture your signature electronically to import it onto your certificate of destruction, which means we can issue this instantly.
