A cloud service for industrial waste contractors and waste generators

Never be chased by manifest deadlines again.

TF-EcoFlow watches the deadlines for registering and reporting electronic manifests (JWNET) for you, and connects everything from collection requests to dispatch, weighing, billing, ledgers and official reports in a single screen.

Works in your browser. No software to install.

Still working with paper, spreadsheets and phone calls?

A single load of waste runs through intake, dispatch, transport, weighing, disposal, reporting and billing. If one step stalls, a legal deadline is at risk.

Deadlines live in someone's headRegistration within three days, confirmation of the disposal report. When that person is away, nobody notices.
The same data, typed again and againIntake sheets, dispatch boards, weighing slips, invoices — double entry between spreadsheets and systems.
The field and the office are apartYou wait for the driver to call to know that transport is finished, and type the reports up in the evening.

TF-EcoFlow follows one load all the way through

  • What you enter at intake carries over to dispatch, the manifest, weighing and billing
  • Legal deadlines are calculated for you, and colours show what is close or overdue
  • Drivers report from a smartphone in the field, and the office sees it immediately
  • At month end, invoices are built from the records, and ledgers and official reports come out as they are
The dispatch calendar, with collection jobs assigned to vehicles and drivers

Six features, from intake to official reporting

Built along the way contractors actually work — nothing more than you need.

Manifests

Electronic manifests (JWNET)

  • Send issue, transport-completion and disposal-completion reports from the screen
  • Check transmission status and error details, and resend when needed
  • Paper manifests and secondary manifests sit in the same list
Intake & dispatch

Collection requests and dispatch planning

  • Requests by phone, web or the customer portal in one place
  • Arrange vehicles and drivers on a calendar
  • Review the day's routes on a map
In the field

Driver app and weighing

  • Report the start and end of transport from a smartphone
  • Works without a signal and sends automatically once back online
  • Net weight is calculated from gross and tare weight
Billing

Billing and sales

  • Monthly invoices built from contract rates and actual results
  • Handles disbursements and discounts
  • Match payments and follow sales over time
Ledgers

Ledgers and official reports

  • Collection, transport and disposal ledgers created automatically
  • Output the forms used for reports such as those by large-volume generators
  • Save and submit as PDF or CSV (opens in Excel)
Generators

Portal for waste generators

  • Customers request collection themselves
  • They can follow progress and see their manifest copies
  • Fewer phone calls and faxes

Deadlines

Stop "we only noticed after it expired" by design

  • The three-day registration deadline is calculated excluding weekends, public holidays and the new-year period
  • Confirmation deadlines for disposal reports are monitored automatically (90 days, 60 for specially controlled waste, 180 for final disposal)
  • "Overdue", "due today" and "within 3 days" are colour-coded at the top of the dashboard
  • Permit and contract expiry dates are managed on the same screen, with notice before they lapse

Deadlines follow the Waste Management Act and the operation of the electronic manifest system. They can be adjusted to how you work.

In the field

Drivers only need a smartphone

  • Open the day's schedule and report loading and completion on the spot
  • Attach a photo to record the condition of the load
  • Enter data even where there is no signal; everything is sent once back in range
  • The office knows transport is finished in real time — no reporting calls

Billing & ledgers

Month-end work, straight from the records

  • Invoice lines built from measured net weight and contract rates
  • Invoices as PDF, with support for qualified invoice registration numbers
  • Ledgers for collection, transport and disposal in a format that meets the required items
  • CSV is written so that Excel opens it directly (Shift_JIS)

So several companies can share it with confidence

Designed from the start for one site used by many companies, with separated data and clear permissions.

Data separated per company

Business partners, manifests, invoices and other data are separated per company (tenant). No company can see another's data.

Eight roles

System administrator, administrator, intake & dispatch, driver, weighing, executive, viewer and waste generator. Each role sees and can do only what it needs.

Encryption and two-step verification

Traffic is encrypted with TLS. JWNET subscriber numbers and EDI keys are also encrypted in the database. Administrators and executives must use two-step verification (TOTP).

A record of what was done

Sign-ins, creating, editing and deleting manifests, and permission changes are recorded, so you can see who did what and when.

Daily backups

The database and attached files are backed up automatically every day.

Getting started

  1. See a demoWalk through the flow from intake to billing on a screen filled with real-looking data.
  2. Register your companyOffices, vehicles, drivers, partners, waste items and rates. Import by CSV is supported.
  3. Set up JWNETRegister your subscriber number and EDI key in the admin screen to enable electronic manifests.
  4. Go liveStart with intake and dispatch staff. Drivers simply sign in on their smartphones.

We can also advise on migrating data from the system you use today.

Frequently asked questions

Can it work with electronic manifests (JWNET)?

Yes. You register and report electronic manifests from TF-EcoFlow and can check transmission status and resend failures on screen. The subscriber number and EDI key needed for the connection are registered in the admin screen when you start.

Can we use it while still partly on paper manifests?

Yes. Paper manifests are managed in the same list, so a mixed operation during the switch to electronic manifests is supported.

Are legal deadlines managed automatically?

The three-day registration deadline (excluding weekends and holidays) and the confirmation deadlines for disposal reports are calculated automatically, and items that are close or overdue are colour-coded on the dashboard.

Does it work on a smartphone?

Yes. Drivers report the start and end of transport from a smartphone in the field. Where there is no signal, entries are stored on the device and sent automatically once back online.

Can several companies use the same system?

Data is separated per company (tenant). Permissions can be chosen from eight roles including dispatcher, driver, weighing staff, executive and waste generator.

What about security?

Traffic is encrypted with TLS, and confidential values such as JWNET subscriber numbers and EDI keys are also encrypted in the database. Two-step verification (TOTP) is required for administrators and executives.

TF-EcoFlow supports work under Japan's Waste Management Act. Please confirm interpretation of the law and whether a particular practice is acceptable with the competent authority.
