Effortless Data Capture
How the solution works
1. Get App
Cleaners download the app onto their smartphone or PDA & log in using their ID and PIN.
2. Scan Station
When emptying the bin stations, the cleaner scans the QR code on the station to confirm the exact location.
3. Scan Bag
The cleaner scans the bag QR code & confirms the waste stream removed.
4. Report
The cleaner can report contaminated waste (e.g. food, liquids).
5. Record
The cleaner can take a photo to support the contamination report, if required.
6. Weigh
Scan the bag and place on the scales for an accurate reading which is synced with the waste type in Unisort iQ.
7. Live Dashboard
Access real-time recycling performance and waste metrics from any bin location.
8. Granular Comparison
Easily compare performance between specific floors, departments, or entire buildings.
9. Smart Reporting
Generate professional, audit-ready management reports and PDF summaries with a single click.
10. Optimise & Save
Use RAG statuses and "Estimated Savings" data to drive recycling rates up and costs down.
