Paper-based systems are inherently prone to human error. Misplaced orders, lost documents, and data entry errors can significantly impact project timelines and budgets. Digital material management systems, however, offer real-time data entry and retrieval, reducing errors and increasing accuracy. For example, using smart tech waste materials can be tracked accurately from site pick up to waste facility. This not only minimises the risk of issues but also streamlines operations, making the management and audit process 100's more efficient.

Ireland’s updated Waste Management guidelines for Construction & Demolition Projects 2021 prioritises the adoption of a circular economy, emphasising reuse and recycling over disposal. This means tracking, tracing and auditing of the movement of Construction materials where the developer must “maintain records for all resource material which is used on site and leaves the site, either for reuse, recycling, energy recovery, backfilling or other recovery or disposal on third party sites” as laid out in the EPA Best Practice Guideline 2021 - for the preparation of resource & waste management plans for construction & demolition projects.
