WATS is AI-assisted waste data management software that helps organizations digitize waste operations and centralize fragmented data. It automatically ingests waste data using OCR, LLMs, and agentic workflows, simplifying program visibility and management, reporting, and uncovering opportunities for optimization and cost savings.
-
Getting started is simple. New clients start by sending WATS their existing waste data, such as spreadsheet, invoices, tonnage reports, scale tickets, audits, or other operational records. From there, WATS ingests the data, maps sites, vendors, waste streams, and services, and helps the team build a trusted foundation for reporting, analysis, and optimization. Reach out through our contact form or schedule a call—we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

WATS is different because it stitches together data across all material streams, including waste, recycling, any divertible stream, donation, reuse, surplus, avoided purchasing, and other operational sources, into a trusted source of truth. Instead of relying on one-off spreadsheets or fragmented workflows, WATS gives teams a repeatable, sustainable way to manage material programs, measure impact, and identify opportunities for optimization, cost savings, and waste prevention.
-
WATS pricing is based on the number of sites and waste streams you manage, with an annual subscription fee — there's no per-user charge. Pricing is calculated using a formula that accounts for your data volume and sources, so it scales with your program's complexity. And as your footprint grows, whether in the number of sites or the total data managed, your cost per site decreases, making WATS increasingly cost-effective as your program scales.
