Hey there! 👋 We’re PIN. Based on our years of industry research and customer data, poor skip visibility is one of the Waste & Recycling industrys biggest problems. 🔎 Our analysis has pinpointed that on average 50% of skip data is inaccurate. Leading to uncertainty about the whereabouts of your skips, the total count in your inventory, and their turnover rate. Before the PIN system existed, the industry’s response to these challenges was to purchase new skips. 💡Our data shows that businesses can increase their skip capacity by 30% if they track all their skips digitally. The PIN solution provides real-time tracking of your skips without any manual data entry, ensuring 100% data accuracy and visibility into their locations, movements, and statuses. Our easy-to-use software is built exclusively for skip-driven operations, providing dynamic maps, reports, instant alerts, actionable insights and a suite of tools designed to optimise day-to-day operations and streamline inventory management. PIN readily integrates with AMCS and PurGo. Our expertise allows us to create custom integrations perfectly tailored to meet your unique needs and requirements. We ensure seamless alignment with your existing systems and processes, ensuring a perfect fit for your operations. We are praised for our user-friendly interface, real-time tracking capabilities, and measurable results. Explore our case studies and testimonials to see how weve transformed waste & recycling management for companies like yours!
