The established FWI ERP-Solution for reverse logistics and waste management “FWI ENVIRONMENTAL” is now available for AX 2012.

FWI ENVIRONMENTAL is the ideal ERP industry solution for companies in the following target sectors: 

• Waste management
• Waste disposal contractor
• Landfill site operator
• Waste processors (sorting/treatment/recycling)
• Traders of accepted stock (secondary raw materials trader)

Today the waste management sector faces tasks that are not only correct waste disposal but increasingly the comprehensive treatment of waste materials in order to ensure that important waste fractions can be reused for production purposes as secondary raw materials. Only those fractions of treated waste which cannot be recycled are allowed to be disposed of in landfill sites.  

The medium and large-sized international players in this sector generally operate across national borders. National and international regulations apply. It is particularly important to possess well organized logistical processes, a customer-oriented mindset, and specialist knowledge.

Acute demand exists today for more value added in the area of waste management: from waste separation and the efficient transportation of materials to modern sorting plants and waste processing. It is exactly for these requirements that FWI ENVIRONMENTAL has been designed: to deal with complex structures, widely distributed organizations and international availability. FWI ENVIRONMENTAL is flexible, adaptable and fully covers all areas of operations and business processes from distribution to accounts.
