Solid Waste Information Support System (SWISS)
The SWISS module enhances solid waste service management and fee collection by importing a municipality’s solid waste customer data in CSV format into IMIS. It maintains customer records and tracks fee payment statuses, allowing municipalities to monitor service coverage, identify discrepancies between solid waste customer data and IMIS records, and map buildings with or without services.
By integrating solid waste data with building records, SWISS provides actionable insights for optimizing resource allocation and improving service delivery. The module aids in policy formulation by visualizing service coverage and fee collection trends. However, data integration is manual and periodic, as SWISS does not yet support real-time API integration, similar to the PTCISS module.
