Other Key Winter 2023 Release Highlights
AMCS Subcontractor Portal - Increased Automation and Compliance.
The AMCS Subcontractor Portal is designed to digitize the entire subcontractor lifecycle, from sourcing, onboarding, compliance, exchanging work and confirmations and finally invoicing. This release sees further enhancements to improve automation and ease the burden of compliance management, reducing manual effort, costs, and regulatory risks.
- Subcontractor Job Rescheduling with Notifications Subcontractors can reschedule a job on the portal if it was missed and assign to a new service date without any need for operator intervention. Early alert auto-notifications are generated where a subcontractor has accepted and then rejected a job, allowing the operator to rearrange job with customer.
- Improved Subcontractor Compliance Management Subcontractors can request approval from the operator for a new disposal destination. A new view provides a filterable list of subcontractors to manage and address compliance issues and scores. Automated notifications will alert operators of any pending expiry dates on compliance documentation.
Equipment Inventory – Driving a better ROI from your container assets.
The automation of the management of container inventory first launched in the summer release continues to evolve, including the following highlights.
- Enhanced Auditability of Container Service History A new analytics grid has been added to readily sort and filter container service history data to understand every dimension of who, how, why, and when each individual container was moved, and this provides greater visibility and auditability into tracking container movements.
- Improved Container Management There are enhanced features to resolve any container data exceptions including for out of cycle jobs where there is no record of the container on site in Platform but where jobs are requested. There are also new fields on the container record to denote the AR code, company and if it has a compactor mechanism.
