The Problem
Encina Wastewater Authority faced significant challenges managing its pretreatment program with Linko, a legacy system that could no longer keep up with their operational and regulatory needs. The system’s limited functionality created inefficiencies, requiring staff to manually track inspections, permits, and compliance data. Integration with other essential platforms, such as GIS, LIMS, and ERP, was not possible, leading to fragmented workflows and data silos. Delays in compliance reporting, difficulty retrieving critical information, and a lack of real-time operational visibility hindered the team’s ability to effectively manage the program.

Challenges

Encina needed a modern, scalable solution that could integrate seamlessly with their existing infrastructure while streamlining pretreatment operations. They required a platform that not only automated repetitive tasks but also centralized data for easier access and reporting. Ensuring regulatory compliance while minimizing manual effort and reducing the risk of errors were top priorities, all while needing to transition from Linko without disrupting ongoing operations.

Solutions

Nexinite delivered a Pretreatment Information Management System (PIMS) designed to meet Encina’s needs using their Microsoft environment. The custom-built solution integrated seamlessly with their ERP, GIS, and LIMS systems, providing a centralized platform for managing inspections, permits, monitoring data, and compliance reports. With user-friendly workflows and dashboards, staff gained real-time visibility into operations and automated processes, reducing manual work and ensuring regulatory deadlines were met. The system was tailored to Encina’s requirements, eliminating inefficiencies and creating a single source of truth for all pretreatment data.

Results

Efficiency Gains: Reduced staff time spent on manual processes by over 50%.

Enhanced Integration: Full integration with GIS, LIMS, and ERP systems streamlined workflows and eliminated data silos.

Improved Compliance: Automated reporting and real-time monitoring reduced compliance risks and improved regulatory response times.

Scalability: The new system’s modular design allows Encina to adapt to future needs without costly overhauls.

 

Encina Wastewater Authority now operates with greater confidence and efficiency, thanks to a modern, integrated solution that future-proofs their pretreatment operations.
