What is T!POFF
Tip-Off is designed specifically to help control and manage illegal tipping at civic amenity sites by identifying regular commercial users of free tipping facilities.

Capture lost revenue
T!POFF is a management software system that incorporates automatic number plate reading technology to specifically help control and manage trade tipping at civic amenity and recycling sites. T!POFF simply identifies regular users of free household tipping facilities and alerts onsite staff to investigate and redirect trade waste to the weighbridge or to voucher permit schemes that could generate thousands of pounds in lost revenue each year.

Monitors, records and alerts
T!POFF, developed by security surveillance specialist Essa Technology, records and monitors vehicular activity onto the site and analyses the collected data for re-occurring visits. Once a pre-determined threshold of visits within any one period has been reached T!POFF identifies the frequent visitors car number plate and alerts staff by means of a message on a computer screen in the gatehouse and/or to onsite staff via a radio pager.

The system enables employees to investigate further, add specific notes to the data record or simply clear the alert if the drivers’ load contains genuine household waste.

The management software not only stores the vehicle registration number it also includes a captured CCTV wide-angle image of the vehicle together with time and date of each entry. Operators can easily enter additional details such as waste type and driver information onto the system to specifically monitor suspect offenders over a period of time.

Management information at your fingertips
T!POFF can generate a variety of activity reports. It can tell you how many vehicles are visiting the site per hour, per day, per month. You can review individual vehicle visits by time, date and frequency. Most importantly the software can be tailor made to meet your requirements – you decide which reporting formats you want and you can set the parameters to three different levels of alert to enable employees to warn, redirect or refuse access.

Innovative management software from Essa
T!POFF has been developed closely with waste industry specialists and is undergoing a pilot trial at Torbay Council’s civic amenity site in Paignton. T!POFF is due to be launched at the Chartered Institute of Waste Management exhibition in June 2004. For further information Contact Us
