ISB Global launching Waste and Recycling One software in US

ISB Global, a London-based waste management software provider, plans to launch its Waste and Recycling One (WR1) program in the United States, with two U.S. haulers set to go live with WR1 this year.

According to ISB Global, WR1 standardizes, simplifies and automates waste and recycling processes for waste management operators. By providing a single source of master data across all operations, from planning to execution to finance, WR1 can deliver an accurate overview of all business functions so waste management companies can boost operational performance, increase efficiency and cut unnecessary costs. The software is built on the OutSystems low-code platform and integrates into ERP systems, such as SAP.

“ISB Global’s unique blend of waste industry insight combined with software development expertise means we understand the particular business challenges facing waste management operators,” ISB Global Chief Commercial Officer Pritesh Pattni says. “As a result, we are able to deliver effective software solutions that address these challenges.

“The waste industry in the U.S. and elsewhere is at an inflection point. Waste management and recycling is increasingly complex with multiple moving parts and important regulatory obligations to meet. To properly manage this complexity, waste management operators need to upgrade, automate and digitize their operations and back-office processes.”

ISB Global says WR1 can replace outdated legacy systems that may be a barrier to efficiency, without the need to integrate new software into existing tech stacks. The software also provides full visibility across all operations, driven by a single source of master data, which the company says enables better decision making in real-time. Additionally, it simplifies compliance reporting, adapting to regulatory changes and flagging waste and recycling processes that contravene industry standards.

Since WR1’s introduction in the United Kingdom, ISB Global says its UK customers have seen a range of advantages that have driven quantifiable improvements in performance, including:

• Metal recycling specialist Light Brothers, which increased the automation of its recycling materials processes by 90 percent.
• Energy and environmental sensor provider Veris, which saw an 80 percent uplift in payment accuracy from subcontractors.
• Commercial waste management provider TWBC reduced data administration by 80 percent with WR1’s process automation.

“WR1 stands alone as the only integrated software solution made specifically for the waste management and recycling industry,” Pattni says. “Already, two major U.S. waste haulers are rolling out the solution across their operations. Expect more WR1 customers in North America over the next 12 months.”

ISB Global is exhibiting at Waste Expo 2024 in Las Vegas this week (booth No. 4057), and Pattni will take part in a roundtable on innovation in the waste management and recycling sector May 7.
