WasteWORKS

Software for disposal and recycling sites, since 1988

Carolina Software, Inc. makes WasteWORKS, a family of solid waste management software. Carolina Software has developed, installed and supported it since 1988 at disposal and recycling sites throughout the US and Canada, and describes it as the industry leader for more than 35 years. The base product comes with ticketing, billing and reporting, and the company says it suits landfills, transfer stations, recycling operations and aggregate sites.

Ticketing at the scale house

The core is ticketing for weighing and charging loads. WasteWORKS Express turns any lane into an express lane with automation for manned or unmanned facilities. WasteWORKS Mobile covers convenience sites, household hazardous waste events and busy Saturdays. WasteWORKS Vision takes photographs of drivers, loads or license plates, up to four per lane. Driver License Scan reads universal 2D barcodes to capture and store customer information.

Billing and communication

The integrated accounting module is described as approved by CPAs, which the company says makes billing simple. WasteWORKS Auto Email delivers tickets to customers automatically and sends scheduled or on-demand reports and billing, so a site can skip the printer and cut the time and cost of preparing and mailing invoices. Reports can also go to internal staff on a schedule, and emails and invoices can carry the operator's logo.

Oversight and records

Change Tracking, combined with the database and user-level security, records changes inside the software and is meant to give managers and auditors a clearer view. Document Scan lets staff scan, save and retrieve transaction documents in one click, making document management part of daily operations.

Support and customers

Carolina Software says it provides 24/7/365 support, which it calls the most thorough in the industry, and that over 300 customers have stayed with it for more than 20 years. It positions the system as affordable for managing an entire operation, with expansion handled through billing and financial reporting.
