The Challenge

The client was seeking a software solution that would eliminate the risk of accidents associated with waste disposal, whilst also driving overall efficiencies through streamlining their waste streams and reducing operator disposal times.
Their waste disposal processes were manual and cumbersome, involving large amounts of paper-based records. They were seeking a solution that would eliminate the risks associated with disposing of liquid waste, increasing productivity and efficiency while reducing the increasing costs associated with their chemical waste disposal.

Prior to the implementation of Chemishield, waste management was a paper laden process that relied heavily on manual entry and subsequent transfer of waste data into a spreadsheet. This was a time consuming process.
