Pretreatment Information Management System (PIMS)

Automate environmental compliance tracking, permit management, and reporting for regulatory adherence.

Pretreatment Information Management System (PIMS) on Microsoft 365

A pretreatment information management system (PIMS) runs an industrial pretreatment program: industrial user permits, inspections, sampling and monitoring, violations, and regulatory reporting. Nexinite builds it on the Microsoft 365 your agency already owns, so a POTW runs the whole pretreatment program in its own tenant instead of a separate vendor system.

What a pretreatment PIMS manages

Pretreatment compliance is a records discipline. Nexinite builds the whole program into one system on your Microsoft 365 tenant.

Industrial user permits
  • Every industrial user and permit tracked with limits and deadlines
  • Renewals and expirations flagged before they lapse
Inspections and sampling
  • Inspections scheduled, recorded, and tied to each user
  • Sampling and monitoring results captured against permit limits
Violations and enforcement
  • Exceedances flagged and enforcement steps tracked
  • A defensible record of every action taken
Regulatory reporting
  • EPA and state pretreatment reports built from the live data
  • The documentation an auditor asks for, ready in one place
Built on the Microsoft 365 you already own

Permits, inspections, sampling, and reporting run on SharePoint, the Power Platform, and Power BI you already license. The compliance record stays in your own tenant with permissions, retention, and a full audit trail, so the program is defensible to regulators.

Proof: Encina Wastewater Authority

Nexinite built pretreatment compliance for the Encina Wastewater Authority on Microsoft 365, moving permits, inspections, and reporting off manual processes and into one owned system.
