Defect Check vs PaperRoute Link

The Defect Check app allows you to perform vehicle and asset inspections, defects can be recorded and also rectified using the app or via the web portal.

PaperRoute Link puts routes, collections, Yard work, vehicle loads and on-site sales in one place for waste and recycling teams. Staff can see what is next, record the work as it happens and keep the office informed. PaperRoute, the platform behind Link, is on Defra's compatible software providers list for Digital Waste Tracking receipt-of-waste reporting, having passed its production approval tests.
