EnviroWare

Paperwork for brokered waste, in one web application

Waste has to be documented before it moves on a truck, and EnviroWare is the web software meant to handle that paperwork. WasteLinq Inc of Houston, Texas, publishes it for brokers, for generators, and for the treatment, storage and disposal facilities (TSDFs) that take their waste. Brokers, transfer facilities and transporters use the Broker Package to manage the companies, waste profiles, pricing and manifest data attached to brokered material. Companies with several sites can share data across all of them, which the publisher says saves time and reduces costly mistakes.

Profiles, manifests and regulated detail

Generators can create and manage their own waste profiles and submit them to the disposal facility for review, approval and pricing. A profile records whether a material is hazardous or not, its default product or service and process, its DOT shipping information, and its TCLP results, physical characterization and chemical composition. Manifest handling tracks universal, federal and customer manifest IDs, the generator and bill-to party, several transporters and pickup sites, container details and certification of disposal. Manifests can be created automatically from a sales order, and sales orders can be scheduled or created from a schedule.

Pricing, loads and invoices

Pricing can be set per profile, with effective, expiration and approval dates, for multiple products and in several units of measure such as gallons, pounds or drums. EnviroWare tracks transport and disposal costs, and uses that pricing with shipment data to produce accurate, automated invoices. Dispatch features cover multiple pickups on one load, truck and driver information and quick searches for loads.

Laboratory, inventory and reporting

For lab teams there are templates that reduce data entry, profile pre-approval and re-certification analysis, and comparison of results against standards or specifications. The software manages waste inventory, including real-time barcode tracking, and a vendor screen holds disposal facility contacts, profiles, manifests, pricing and cost. Stock reports cover generator and customer needs as well as annual and regulatory reporting. A newer online dashboard lets operators share charts, profile data, shipment data and customizable reports with their own customers, and custom development is available.
