Are you working with spreadsheets to manage waste?

Benefits of Working With Via Analytics vs. Internal Spreadsheets

1. Accuracy and Data Integrity

Spreadsheets are prone to human error and versioning issues.

Via Analytics pulls standardized data into consistent formats, reducing errors and ensuring more reliable reporting.

2. Visual Clarity

The Via Analytics platform offers clear, easy-to-understand graphics.

Visualizations make complex waste data more accessible to employees, stakeholders, and decision-makers.

3. Centralized Access

Internal spreadsheets are often scattered across email threads or folders.

Via Analytics offers centralized, cloud-based access with user logins, so everyone sees the same up-to-date information.

4. Monthly Reports

No more manual updates or formatting headaches, saving staff time and ensuring consistency.

5. Compliance & Reporting

The Via Analytics platform helps organizations stay compliant with regulations by standardizing and documenting diversion reporting.

Internal spreadsheets may not meet external reporting requirements or audit standards.

6. Data Completeness

Spreadsheets often miss data points or lack standardized categories.

The Via Analytics platform ensures all relevant waste streams are captured and categorized consistently.

7. Scalability

As data grows, spreadsheets become harder to manage. Via Analytics scales effortlessly with increased data volume and complexity.

8. Real-Time Collaboration

Multiple users can access and interact with the data at once.

Spreadsheets can lead to conflicts, especially if multiple people edit the same file.

9. Support & Expertise

Via Analytics comes with industry knowledge and customer support.

Internal spreadsheets rely on the internal team’s expertise, which may vary widely.

10. Proven and Ready-to-Use

Via Analytics is a fully developed, tested and maintained platform in production.

Internal spreadsheets require ongoing setup, manual upkeep and troubleshooting. Our system is built for performance and reliability—so your team can focus on results, not reinventing the wheel.
