Managing data collected by field staff at landfills has always been a huge challenge. In the past, individual field technicians collected the data on paper and then submitted it to project managers, who had to aggregate and consolidate data from multiple technicians for multiple projects. Turnaround time for reviewing all the data collected was typically much slower than desirable. In addition, it was not always possible to manage data onsite.
A better way was sought to automate field data to get key information to technicians in the field and quickly provide data collected to the project stakeholders who are driving decision-making. What evolved from the desire for a more efficient
process is new data collection systems that provide landfill decision-makers access to information in reports and dashboards in a matter of minutes instead of days.
