Re-TRAC offers proven functionality and is quickly establishing a new standard in data management for governments, universities & colleges, and businesses.

The Re-TRAC suite includes three additional data management services, developed with features specifically for the public sector, which are fully integrated with Re-TRAC and described on this page.

Re-TRAC delivers unparalleled results in these critical areas of program management:

DATA COLLECTION	Program data is collected in the system using customized input screens on everything from population characteristics to materials collected. Since Re-TRAC is about saving time, you only need to enter this data ONCE! It then automatically appears everywhere it's needed. It's even distributed automatically to your Reports, ready to populate them, when you're ready to print. We can configure your Re-TRAC data entry screens to collect all of the unique data that you require including: Demographic information such as population, households, income, etc; Recycling/Waste management program data Tons disposed of and diverted by material; Material Source and destination data; Financial data including program costs and revenue received. Collecting data using Re-TRAC is easy and saves you time!
DATA ORGANIZATION	Re-TRAC organizes and stores all of the data you are collecting in a user-friendly, easy to navigate system. Information from all jurisdictions for which you have password access are instantly accessible, as is historical data from any and all years for which data has been imported into the system. Re-TRAC allows you to visually track when reporting jurisdictions have submitted their data for a given reporting period. This helps you stay on top of communities that are slow in submitting their data. Even though Re-TRAC automatically organizes and manages your data, the need may arise for you to keep a record of the information. To accommodate this need, Re-TRAC allows you to export your data into an Excel spreadsheet at any time.
DATA ANALYSIS	The recycling and solid waste information being collected from communities offers a great deal of value for comparison and benchmarking purposes. Re-TRAC realizes this value by allowing users the ability to generate instant program performance and trend analysis within and across jurisdictions. Analytical reports are available at the community, county, and state levels. With Re-TRAC you might even find a new appreciation for trend analysis reports now that generating them is so painless! Re-TRAC provides a complete breakdown for both the current year for which data has been collected, as well as previous years. It does all the calculations for you, using standardized methods, to give you graphical results that illustrate the "BIG PICTURE". Re-TRAC automatically aggregates State and local data, giving you the power to make your county or State-level cost and recovery analysis available to legislators, the general public and other stakeholders when you need it. With jurisdictions in multiple States using Re-TRAC, aggregated data can be "rolled up" into summary reports for regional or national level review as required.
REPORT GENERATION	If your State requires you to report information about your recycling or waste management programs, Re-TRAC makes report assembly a one-click automatic procedure. In consultation with you, we can tailor the Reporting function to gather all the data details required by your State, making it possible for you to create your State reports with the click of a button. Over 70 types of reports are currently available in the Re-TRAC library. Simply select the analysis that you would like to see and hit "generate report".

The Re-TRAC suite of additional services includes:

ON-LINE SURVEY SYSTEM

The On-Line Survey System allows public sector clients to collect waste & recycling surveys from commercial/institutional/industrial generators, processors, disposal facilities, haulers, multifamily dwellings, and others.

After we have configured your survey screen to match your requirements, you can provide the necessary log-in information to survey respondents. They then go to the website, fill out the form, and submit their information.

Public sector clients can then view submitted surveys individually or generate summary reports that aggregate and summarize the responses. If you are a Re-TRAC client, tonnage data is automatically linked to the proper material information pages in the appropriate sector.

Any type of information can be collected including tonnage data, yes/no questions, open ended text responses, etc.

The On-Line Survey System offers many benefits to our clients. One client in Ohio achieved the following benefits the year they began using the system:

• More than twice as many commercial and industrial businesses were surveyed the year they switched to the Re-TRAC On-line system,
• The number of submitted surveys increased by 55%
• Total reported tonnages increased by 27%
• The amount of paper used during the survey process decreased by 60%.
• The cost was about the same as previous year

TRANSACTIONAL SYSTEM

The Transaction System allows Re-TRAC clients the ability to import data from weigh-scale software used at landfills, transfer stations and other facilities. Weigh scale data is then automatically combined in Re-TRAC with other sources of recycling and solid waste information. With all data centralized, Re-TRAC becomes a powerful tool for efficiently organizing, managing, and analyzing all of your waste management information.

HHW APPOINTMENT SYSTEM

Do you require residents to make an appointment or to register when dropping off material at your Household Hazardous Waste events? Are you concerned about efficiently managing your HHW program costs and liabilities? Do you find the process of summarizing and submitting your material totals time-consuming and cumbersome?

You now have the option of having your residents register for appointments on-line at a website customized to your requirements. Key features include:

1. Auto registration significantly reduces the amount of staff time required to manage the scheduling process.
2. Confirmation emails are automatically sent to residents after they have submitted their information.
3. County staff can register users, print lists and change details on-line in real time the day of the collection event.
