The new system, which will go live in January 2014, will allow businesses across the UK to create, share, edit, sign and record all waste transfers electronically, significantly reducing administrative tasks and in some cases saving businesses up to 50% of the cost associated with the creation, storage and retrieval of WTNs. For more information businesses can visit www.edoconline.co.uk where they can also register their interest in adopting the new system and will receive regular updates on edoc.
Key features of edoc include:
- The ability to create waste transfer notes and share them between the parties involved
- Review, edit, sign and store waste transfer notes electronically
- Receive email notifications when there is a WTN for your attention or when a change has been made to a note by another party
- View a permanent log of all actions performed on a WTN, by whom and when. With edoc, businesses can also create season tickets, with the option to include multiple waste types, containers and collection frequencies.
- Option to use a simple tracking feature for transfers involving more than one movement.
- The system also allows for bulk upload of multiple waste transfer details in one go.
- Users can choose to enter more details about their waste than are required for duty of care compliance, with pick-lists, drop-down menus, prompts and templates making it easy to complete fuller records which will in turn contribute to a more complete and accurate picture of waste produced across the UK than ever before.
- It will be quick and easy to search and retrieve WTNs for audit or compliance purposes
- Users will be able to search their own records according to a wide range of fields and filters to create valuable reports for business planning, resource management and other uses.
