Provide your customers - collection calendars, lifts/weights, transactions as well as simple and fast ways to pay via the Household APP on the mobile.

WIS - our core Waste Management Software enables waste operators to save money on sending paper format collection calendars to customers via post. Instead, they can choose between displaying them online in the customer login area (individual to each customer), a downloadable App for the iPhone, Android, Ipad or Tablet, or they can set up collection alerts via SMS.

WIS has been sending collection alerts to mobile phones via SMS since early 2007, and today the SMS service boasts a throughput of up to 30 SMS per second.

The strong benefit of SMS over the APP is that everyone has a mobile phone and they have it on all the time and with SMS delivery receipts you can go inside each account holder and view the delivery status of every alert.

From the future point of view, we know that more and more residential householders will have smartphones and access to the Internet – so waste operators can utilize our hybrid system which knows which method the customer wishes to receive the collection alert and which method is currently available. requires and available. So if the customer has the app, the app will alert them to the collection time but if the app is off the system will know to send the alert via SMS.

But still, if the customer requires the calendar to be sent via post mail – the WIS server can auto-create the calendar and place a debit transaction onto the customer account to pay for it.

The collection calendar App is powered by our Recycle Network, which enables Sunrise Innovations to launch one App for all.  By doing so creates a network of businesses and households on which to launch additional service offerings likes deals and adverts.

It’s our view that the Household app should be extendable enough to know when to put my bins out but it also should remind me of all my friends’ birthdays as well as when a new programme is on TV.  The Household app deals with the day to day reality within the home and not just one thing per week.

Within the base version of the App householders can :

• View their collection days
• Plan personal and household reminders
• Top up their account with money from their credit/debit cards
• View all transactions on their account
• Transfer funds from their account to another account (e.g. paying a family members bill)
• Connect to an HDMI TV screen for personal interaction
• View the latest company deals in their area.
• Playing myLotto in conjunction with Slaney Bookmakers Ireland

We provided an interconnection to your HDMI TV as we know that many homes want to view the internet on their TV, so things like co-browsing facebook and YouTube should be fun and easy.  You can even watch Netflix from your phone to the HDMI TV seamlessly.

Currently, the Household APP is only available on Android OS, we done this to understand clearly how the customer uses the base version. Once ironed down we will complete the iPhone and Windows versions in early 2014.
