The company is developing an on-line tool to assist organisations with the production and management of Site Waste Management Plans (SWMP’s); a mandatory part of the planning process for developments that exceed £300,00. Phlorum have identified that the production of SWMP’s is both onerous and poorly served by existing technology.

The online survey was hosted from Sigmer’s high security data centre in London. The Phlorum Project Team was provided with an on-line reporting portal that allowed them to monitor overall response statistics for the survey and to view a statistical and graphical report of feedback responses.
