cieTrade.net: The cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) version of cieTrade's software integrates business management and inventory functions for commercial recycling companies. Users can track their materials in bulk, serially or a combination of the two, keeping tabs on truckloads of scrap plastic as they are sorted or converted into distinct products, such as regrind, pellets and waste, for example. Customers can pay for the software on a per-month basis, and no contract is required.
What's new? Numerous features, including an app that lets users upload container or material photos and attach them directly to documents in a virtual file. Users also can create recurring invoices that are sent to customers on a monthly or quarterly basis. The software even includes a module for sales prospecting and customer relationship management.
Benefits: Efficient materials tracking. Users can trace a material's genealogy through each step in the conversion process, all the way back to its original acquisition. The software also saves time and avoids double-entry by eliminating the need for spreadsheets. Also, it can be used anywhere with an internet connection.
