WASTELINQ

Environmental sustainability is paramount, and managing waste and environmental services can be intricate and daunting. As a leading provider of innovative technology solutions, WASTELINQ solves this need by simplifying, connecting, and bringing transparency to the environmental services industry.

Businesses in this sector frequently grapple with communication breakdowns and a noticeable lack of transparency in processes, resulting in inefficiency and stunted progress. These issues impede daily operations and hinder the broader goal of fostering a sustainable environment.

WASTELINQ offers innovative technology and supply chain solutions that make environmental services simple, connected and transparent. It addresses the complexities about environmental transactions, such as communicating across the entirety of the value chain, and the lack of visibility to what happens within the value chain. WASTELINQ eliminates those sets of challenges for its customers, which is its unique value proposition.

“WASTELINQ uses its cutting-edge technology and supply chain solutions to streamline environmental transactions to new levels of efficiency,” says Ken Odom, CFO at WASTELINQ.

The company’s clientele today mostly includes environmental service providers. To cater to their diverse technology needs, WASTELINQ provides tailored software solutions, including:

1. WASTELINQ Enterprise: This flagship product is ideal for midsize and large service providers. It covers everything from generator management to invoicing and even includes a document repository and integrated catalog for supply purchases.

2. TerraLink: Designed for smaller service providers, TerraLink simplifies paperwork management for waste shipments.

3. EnviroWare: An on-premise solution primarily aimed at disposal facilities, EnviroWare offers advanced features like lab pack management and comprehensive pricing.

In addition to these offerings, WASTELINQ provides StreamLINQ, an information service platform that gathers data from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state authorities, serving as a precursor to customer relationship management (CRM) for environmental services companies.

Needless to say, WASTELINQ stands behind many great success stories. “Maybe our biggest success is a relatively large service provider in the Texas Gulf Coast region,” says Odom.

This service provider transitioned from a fragmented system of spreadsheets and accounting packages, requiring input in up to 12 different platforms, to adopting WASTELINQ Enterprise. This integration streamlined its data management process into a single efficient system and notably improved its gross margins by around three percentage points. It enabled the organization to identify new sales avenues, fostering business growth and enhanced scalability.

Remarkably, the company has lost only one customer throughout its history despite having now garnered the support of more than 200 clients nationwide, making its customer retention rate an impressive 99.5 percent.

The company’s nationwide presence speaks volumes about WASTELINQ’s reach and impact across the environmental services industry. WASTELINQ actively seeks and values user feedback, continuously improving its software and network services to provide an exceptional customer experience. Customer are constantly providing it with feedback around the software and network services offering, and WASTELINQ is continually adding or improving features to improve that customer experience.

From its inception as an on-premise database solution, WASTELINQ has blossomed into a leading SaaS provider in the environmental services industry. The company plans to leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance environmental services.

“We see this as just one step towards building out an entire value chain that is tech-enabled,” says Odom.

As it continues to innovate and prioritize customer experience, WASTELINQ’s dedication to a greener, more efficient future is evident. With AI and machine learning on the horizon, the company becomes more than just another part of the environmental services industry; it’s shaping its future.
