It’s no secret that many waste companies are less transparent than they ought to be. Even essential customer tools, like account management systems, are often outdated when compared to the platforms available within other industries. Recognizing that today’s customers expect more autonomy and streamlined communication within this space, Reworld stepped up to deliver a modern, comprehensive self-serve tool.
Enter the Reworld Customer Gateway, a platform built to ensure that all customer account needs are managed with transparency, care, and reliability. By prioritizing user-friendly design and on-demand access, Reworld is firmly reasserting itself as a forward-facing, customer-first partner in the waste industry.
The initial vision for the Customer Gateway was born out of a simple reality: customers and brokers want self-service and the agile flexibility that comes with it. Today's savvy users don't want to rely on emails or phone calls to manage routine tasks. They expect to handle their own profiling, track progress through a dashboard, and self-schedule without administrative friction.
To solve this, Reworld designed the Gateway to deliver 24/7 personalized, on-demand information and tools. It also serves as a centralized hub, ensuring that customer inquiries aren't lost in generic website forms, but are instead routed as trackable service cases directly to the right channels.
The Reworld Customer Gateway centralizes essential account management functions, reducing administrative work and improving visibility. Core capabilities include:
While basic profiling is a standard expectation in the industry, the Gateway truly sets itself apart with its advanced scheduling module. Many competitors restrict scheduling capabilities to simple tasks like compactor pickups, but ReworldTM allows customers to actively schedule waste into its facilities nationwide.
Customers can view available slots and criteria, create their own schedules, manage deliveries, and set reminders. Behind the scenes, this innovative tool eliminates the need for outdated whiteboards and Outlook calendars. When a customer schedules a drop-off, it automatically syncs with the Reworld internal Salesforce platform, providing facilities with a seamless, single-source view of their daily schedule.
Since its rollout, the Customer Gateway has transformed the way Reworld does business. It delivers transparent, accessible, and centralized communication. The platform's success is evident in its widespread adoption; today, all of the company’s largest accounts use the system to bring profiled waste into facilities and streamline the management that goes into it.
By offering an intuitive platform that fosters two-way communication and delivers real-time updates, Reworld is helping customers drive their goals and make sustainability a little simpler in the process.
