Re-flow – Discover PAS 2080 carbon compliance as a seamless part of operations at Traffex

Re-flow’s PAS 2080 module for carbon management, an add-on to the field management software, is designed to anchor carbon reporting directly to live operations – using the data teams already generate as work is planned, delivered, and completed. Find out more at the CBS Arena, Coventry, Stand C25 (21–22 May).

The challenge: finding carbon management solutions that actually fit your business

For highways organisations looking for a carbon management solution, the challenge is finding software and workflows that genuinely fit the way they work.

At the same time, in a market where finances are often tight and competition for work is intense, continuing with stop-gap or improvised approaches is becoming an increasingly difficult position to justify.

Challenges when looking for software solutions include: 

• The issue of adopting a separate system just for carbon management 

• Retraining teams

• Assigning staff to capture – or manage – carbon data on top of everything else they already do. 

The result is either low adoption, inconsistent data, or both – which undermines the credibility of the reporting the business is trying to improve.

The solution: embed carbon management tools as an organic part of existing systems

Re-flow’s PAS 2080 module takes a different approach. 

Because the module runs within Re-flow Field Management – and users of Re-flow already use the software to plan, schedule, manage assets, and deliver operations – carbon data is captured as a natural by-product of job activity. This is true for everything from equipment and journeys to materials and waste. 

There’s nothing new for teams to learn. Teams fill out the same daily forms and the software does the heavy lifting in the background with no disruption to established operations.

Features of the Re-flow PAS 2080 module for carbon management

• Pre-job carbon estimation: Forecast emissions for a job based on items and resources.

• Item and asset carbon scoring: Assign carbon scores to your items within Re-flow, either manually or from your chosen industry standard.

• Route planning: Add carbon calculations to route plans and estimate mileage to site for resources and material delivery from suppliers.

• Whole-job carbon cost: Generate a full report based on detailed actuals, from plant and equipment usage to vehicle mileage and wastage.

• Editing and nuance in reporting: Flexible reporting helps fill in missing supplier data and complicated usage scenarios.
