Bywaters goes paperless and reduces costs with new ERP system
LONDON-based recycling and waste management company Bywaters has streamlined its operations and become almost entirely paper-free after adopting a state-of-the-art software management system.
The new system, PurGo by VWS Software Solutions, manages all Bywaters' waste collection and management processes end to end, and job information is uploaded remotely to PDAs that are carried by every driver.
Customers are very happy with the new system, which sends automatic job confirmations and Waste Transfer Notes via email. They also have access to in- depth information from the name of the driver and the type of vehicle to the time
they arrived on site, and the amount of waste collected.
Bywaters now has live vehicle tracking and the automation of waste transfer tickets which would have previously been processed manually, which saves time and improves efficiency. Staff can manage their roles more effectively with easy-to-use reporting, planning, reviewing and search functions, and all the information available in one place.
Kelly Geraldo, Bywaters’ IT Applications Manager, said of the upgrade to PurGo: “This is some of the most state-of-the-art software available. We are very pleased with how it is working and it is enabling cost savings because we can work
Tyre Boss launches new tyre for winter weather
BRITISH winters over the past few years have become markedly wetter, windier and stormier and we’ve suffered extreme phenomena including the Beast from the East as well as a noticeable increase in flooding incidents.
Life goes on and work continues on farms, construction sites, roadworks, utilities and airports across the UK, but the conditions can be very arduous – and sometimes dangerous – for machines and operators working in these sectors and more.
Tyre Boss, specialist OTR tyre supplier, has recognised the harsh winter environments that machines and drivers have to endure and have added a new tyre to their portfolio to offer a safer, more productive solution with better grip and traction.
The Hilo BWYN Winter Tyre features an innovative block pattern that is optimised for increased traction in demanding and slippery conditions. The tread is composed of multiple sipes per block and the tyre has a specially designed snow compound for snowy, muddy and icy conditions. An ideal solution for wheeled loaders and dumpers, the tyres are available in a range of sizes from 15.5R25 to 23.5R25.

The tyre has enjoyed considerable success to date in Scandinavia where arctic conditions are the norm. Machine owners enjoy excellent results by switching to the Hilo to combat the winter weather effects.
As British winters get tougher, maybe it’s time to invest in a set of Hilo tyres to
more efficiently and effectively – which is beneficial to ourselves and our customers.”
A key benefit is the reduction, and near eradication of the need for traditional ‘paperwork’. Added Kelly: “The system has already reduced our stationary costs. Now there is no paper waste, only emails, which is in keeping with Bywaters’ commitment to sustainability.”
