Waste brokers rely on a lot of data to fulfill client reporting needs, ensure operational efficiency, and achieve profitability. Implementing scalable reporting workflows is an important first step to gaining access to timely, reliable data. RecycleERP can streamline reporting for waste brokers through a variety of prebuilt reports, automated email delivery, and flexible data export options.
This article explores five popular reports in RecycleERP—and how they’re useful to waste brokers.
#1: Facility Metrics Report
Organizations need granular visibility into how their production locations, warehouses, service centers, and other facilities are impacting corporate recycling and cost reduction initiatives. RecycleERP provides detailed information about each facility’s loads, including:
- Service date
- Bill of lading
- Tonnage
- Treatment method
- Disposal location
- Spend
The facility metrics report is especially helpful for facility managers and recycling program managers tasked with maximizing recycling and minimizing waste (and waste-related costs).
#2 Corporate Metrics Report
Tracking recycling and waste metrics for each facility makes it possible to roll up data into a corporate-level view. Arguably our most popular report, the corporate metrics report in RecycleERP makes it easier to pinpoint which facilities are contributing—or detracting—from an organization’s recycling program objectives.
From a single self-service report, clients can quickly monitor key metrics, such as:
- Recycling %
- Cost
- Rebate amount
#3 Profit Margin by Customer Report
Profitability depends on multiple factors that extend well beyond service frequency and vendor rebates. Sometimes, the very nature of a client-broker relationship makes profitability seem illusive. Our profit margin by customer report in RecycleERP makes it possible to analyze financial performance across a waste broker’s book of business. Easily compare revenue and profit performance by client or drill down into service-level data to see what’s driving results.
Is providing waste services to construction clients negatively affecting profitability? Would a 5% change in a manufacturer’s recycling-to-waste ratio result in better performance? RecycleERP can help waste brokers find answers to complex questions like these.
#4 Outstanding Services Report
Ideally, a waste vendor would immediately submit an invoice after providing service to the broker’s client. Unfortunately, waste vendors can be notorious for late billing, which ultimately creates cash flow issues for the broker. Running the outstanding services report in RecycleERP provides brokers with rapid access to pending invoices. Armed with this information, the broker can proactively reach out to obtain the vendor’s invoice and stave off cash flow issues.
#5 Carbon Metrics Report
Increasing recycling by 10% may not seem like a big deal; but, the savings can really make an environmental impact when you’re dealing with hundreds of tons of waste annually. Based on the EPA’s Waste Reduction Model (WARM), our carbon metrics report helps organizations verbalize their recycling results in the form of “carbon equivalents,” such as:
- Garbage trucks of waste recycled instead of landfilled
- Tons of waste recycled instead of landfilled
- Incandescent lamps switched to LEDs
- Tree seedlings grown for 10 years
Need to understand the impact of a specific location? With RecycleERP, users can analyze carbon metrics at the corporate and facility level.
