How FOG Tracker Works

Revolutionize with Automation

FOG Tracker automates many tasks that previously were done manually. This significantly reduces labor costs and frees up valuable time for personnel to focus on other tasks.

With FOG Tracker manifests data is entered by the disposal companies and waste haulers. This eliminates the time it takes for authorities to sort through paper manifests “looking” for missing manifests. Instead, just click a few buttons and instantly see which traps have been pumped, and which ones need attention.

Additionally, unethical haulers are exposed, making the damaging practice of “pump ‘n dump” a thing of the past.

Here’s How it Works

A user logs onto the software through one of three “portals.” (Portal means gateway, access point, etc…)

The Authority Portal
The Disposal Site Portal
The Hauler Portal

Each party logs onto FOG Tracker through their respective portals. From there, they can only access the screens and information relevant to them.

The Authority Portal

The authority keeps track of the Food Service Establishments (FSE’s), Waste Haulers and Disposal sites in their jurisdiction.

Information tracked in the Authority Portal includes:

Food Service Establishments

FSE name and contact info
Grease traps/interceptors
Pumping schedules
Manifest records
FSE inspection histories
Inspection schedules
Permit info (if applicable)
Violations

Waste Haulers

Hauler names and contacts
Pumpout Manifests
Trucks
Permit info (if applicable)

Disposal Sites

Disposal site details
Vehicle Load Manifests
Permit info (if applicable)

A few of the tasks
Authorities can do:

In near real time, see which grease traps have been pumped, and which ones have not.
- Manifest data is entered into FOG Tracker by the Disposal site, not the authority.
- The Authority simply looks at the software to see which trap manifests are present and which ones aren’t.
Place an FSE in violation for failure to have a trap pumped
Escalate the violation accordingly if non-compliance persists.
Obtain inspection forms that are
completed electronically in the field.
Issue permits and other letters to
FSE’s and Haulers
Know that all FOG is accounted for, and enjoy true “closed loop” FOG tracking.
- By matching the total volume pumped from each trap to the total volume deposited by a hauler at the disposal site, authorities can easily see when something “doesn’t add up.”
- Unethical haulers are caught and “pump ‘n dump” is a thing of the past.

The Disposal Portal

The Disposal Sites log onto FOG Tracker and enter Vehicle Load Manifests (VLMs). Each VLM lists every trap manifest collected by the hauler for that particular FOG deposit.

This is the data that allows an authority to track FOG from “cradle-to-grave.”
