w10. Weighbridge App Flashcards
(15 cards)
What is the main purpose of the Weighbridge App in waste management?
To create electronic weighbridge tickets for loads entering or leaving a facility, reducing the need for paper tickets.
How does the Weighbridge App help achieve a paperless process?
By generating electronic tickets that can be stored and accessed digitally, minimizing the need for printed till roll tickets.
What is a till roll ticket?
A printed ticket generated by the weighbridge system, similar to a receipt, showing load and transaction details.
What happens when a user hits “Save Weight” in the app?
The system checks if the client has a Weighbridge App login linked to the site and, if so, sends the load information to the app.
How does the app handle driver signatures for repeat drivers?
The app saves the driver’s signature after the first use and automatically applies it for subsequent loads, so the driver doesn’t need to sign each time.
When is it necessary to print a physical ticket for a load?
When a load is leaving the facility, as the printed ticket also serves as a Duty of Care document for legal compliance.
What is the Duty of Care document, and why is it important?
It is a legal document that shows the producer, carrier, and receiver of the waste, ensuring proper handling and transfer responsibility.
How does the app handle third-party (yard trade) drivers differently from in-house drivers?
Third-party drivers must sign for every load, as their signatures are not saved for future use.
What are the three main tabs in the Weighbridge App?
Live Weighbridge, Yard Trade, and Completed.
How does the app ensure that electronic tickets are accessible to customers?
By archiving tickets against the order ID and providing links in invoices or through the customer dashboard.
Describe the process for handling a yard trade order using the Weighbridge App.
The operator completes the order form, saves the order, the app checks for site compatibility, sends a push notification, and the third-party driver signs for the load, after which the ticket is archived and accessible electronically.
What is the function of the “Save and Print on App” button, and when is it typically used?
It allows for quick printing of a ticket, typically used for outgoing loads where a physical Duty of Care document is required.
How does the immediate electronic ticket feature benefit clients?
It automatically emails a copy of the electronic weighbridge ticket to the client as soon as the load is signed off, ensuring instant access and improved record-keeping.
Explain how the app manages operator signatures for multiple loads within a session.
The operator signs once at login, and their signature is applied to all relevant loads during that session, streamlining the process.
Why is electronic ticketing advantageous for waste management operations?
It increases efficiency, reduces paper usage, ensures compliance, and provides instant, secure access to records for both clients and operators.
