Brown Recycling are a total waste management and recycling company based in Stoke-on-Trent and covering all of Staffordshire and the South Cheshire area. With a workforce of over 100 staff, the business continues to see consistent growth, annually.
Since its inception, Brown Recycling has used their proprietary system, Right Waste, to manage all facets of its business. However, after 15 years the company reached a volume of business that Right Waste could no longer effectively manage its operations. The challenge was finding a robust solution that was capable of providing instant value and scaling with the company
Brown Recycling needed a solution that could improve their operational functions and provide unmatched transparency on their day-to-day operations and business performance.
Dominique Brown further adds:
We needed to look for a new solution because we just couldn’t cope with the system we had. There were too many people using it, we had a smaller system integrated into it and we were having to export data into other systems just to manage our day-to-day business. After weighing up the options available on the market, we chose Waste Logics because it brought everything together into one place.
Why did we choose Waste Logics? One word: simplicity.
After gathering the requirements, the next step was to align Brown Recycling with the Waste Logics solutions that would enable their business goals.
Our team identified the Waste Logics accounts package integrations, customer dashboard, reporting and analytics and our apps as the key drivers to Brown Recycling’s success.
Each feature brings its own value and business impact:
Our mobile apps (Driver App, Weighbridge app & Skip app): These apps delivered value instantly and are a key success driver. As paperless solutions, it saves the staff at Brown Recycling considerable time and has reduced their operational costs. The drivers perform their daily runs entirely via the app, they can take photos, signatures and report compliance issues or any difficulties on site. The real time updates alerting the office team to any issues meant customer satisfaction and service success increased.
Customer dashboard: This revolutionised the way Brown Recycling communicated with their customers. They used the customer dashboard to keep customers and subcontractors up to date with the latest updates about orders and company news. Customers now self serve for recycling reports, copy invoices and tickets which is a big time saver. Allowing staff to reallocate their time to tasks that are more beneficial to the company.
Accounts package integration: The integration has significantly reduced the amount of data entry Brown Recycling had to do. It also reduces risk to the business since there is a seamless integration of notifications between accounts and operations that is all automated. So, there is no chance of accidentally servicing an on stop customer, being surprised by an account whose work in progress value then takes them over their credit limit, or getting caught out by a non account customer who has not paid.
Reporting and Analytics: Real time KPI’s, exactly what is required to proactively make decisions quickly based on accurate insight. Dashboards targeted to support different departments with the key information they need to best look after the business
