= Introduction =

BRE SMARTWaste is a flexible, online-reporting platform for all company types across all sectors that can help manage and reduce waste outputs, impacts and costs. It is intended for clients, contractors, owners, operators and occupiers.

Listening to customers and continuously developing digital products to meet their needs is top of the list for the team behind SMARTWaste, and because of this, 2016 is a big year of development for the tool.

Building on the existing modules within SMARTWaste, the team is adding more functionality to benefit all users over the course of this 2016, starting with the first phase of this development, SMARTWaste ‘John Muir’ release on Monday 18th April.

Users should be assured that all the features they currently have in SMARTWaste will remain, in addition to added functionality and configurability, letting them get even more out of their SMARTWaste membership.

= ‘John Muir’ release =

Born in 1838, John Muir was a Scottish-American naturalist, author, environmental philosopher and early advocate of preservation of wilderness in the United States.

Having founded conservation organisations, travelled widely and helping to establish open spaces such as the fames Yosemite National Park, John Muir has become ‘one of the patron saints of twentieth-century American environmental activity,’ both political and recreational – according to biographer Stephen J. Holmes.

= What can be expected for SMARTWaste ‘John Muir’? =

Released on Monday 18th April, there are some updates that give SMARTWaste’s 10,000+ users added functionality, including:

=== Going modular ===

Within SMARTWaste there are now 7 distinct modules covering a host of impact areas including waste, energy, water and transport. An organisation can now configure their account and ‘hide’ those modules that aren’t relevant for their business or projects. This will mean a more streamlined and relevant tool, simplifying the user experience and saving time in the process.

=== Waste contractor records ===

For organisations with multiple reporting tiers in SMARTWaste (e.g. company, business unit, project), all their waste management contractor (WMC) records will appear in one master list rather than at the business unit level.

This is a subtle change, but one with a big impact as only one consistent list of waste contractors will now exist for the whole company, rather than being duplicated across multiple business units, providing clarity over information and greater accuracy in record keeping.

=== Project sharing across multiple accounts ===

Previously, sub-contractors delivering a work package for a lead contractor or client weren’t able to capture impact information for the project within their own SMARTWaste account. This release ties project information together, allowing projects to now be shared and accessed across multiple SMARTWaste accounts. So now a sub-contractor can input data into the project from their own SMARTWaste account, and automatically share this information with the lead contractor or client.

In addition to these improvements and upgrades, this release covers much more including greater transparency between waste that is recycled and sent for energy recovery, the introduction of recommended % waste recycling rates, print-ready PDF reporting and much more.
