What will be the cost of implementing DIWASS in the company?
DIWASS and the price of an in-house implementation is a topic worth breaking down. A stand-alone implementation usually costs more because it requires trial-and-error testing of solutions. The support of a consultant, for example, allows you to sort out documents and processes from the outset and thus reduce indirect costs. If your goal is precisely to implement the system quietly in your company, without chaos and nervous adjustments, it is better to rely on a proven approach than to build it from scratch. In the rest of this article, we sort out the subject of costs and show why support from specialists can simply be the cheaper route.
What the implementation of DIWASS means in practice
DIWASS implementation is not just about creating an account in the system. It is a complex process that requires sorting out many elements of a company's operation in the area of cross-border waste transport.
This is because it is crucial at this stage to correctly define the company's role in the transport chain. The way of working in the system and responsibilities depend on this. Equally important is the preparation of consistent data, documents and internal procedures, which will form the basis for further operations.
Without such preparation, even a correctly established account will not ensure operational security. The system increases the transparency of transport, so any inaccuracies come to light more quickly than before.
Self-implementation or consultant support? Difference in costs and risks
At first glance, trying to implement DIWASS on your own may seem like a cheaper option. In practice, however, it means having to analyse the regulations yourself, interpreting roles and adapting procedures to the realities of the company. Every doubt generates further analysis, amendments and decision-making delays.
Working with an experienced adviser looks very different. It is based on tried and tested routines, well thought-out procedures and knowledge of the real operational problems. In this way, possible risks can be eliminated even before the system starts.
What does this look like in concrete terms?
AREA | INDEPENDENT IMPLEMENTATION | IMPLEMENTATION IN COOPERATION WITH THE CONSULTANT . |
|---|---|---|
PREPARATION TIME . | Long, aggravating key persons in the company . | Shorter thanks to ready-made procedures |
RISK OF ERRORS . | High - interpretation of the rules on my own | Lower - data verification and roles . |
DOCUMENTATION . | Frequent amendments and inconsistencies . | Structured from the start . |
OPERATIONAL DOWNTIME | Real risk of delays and corrections . | Less risk through preparation . |
REAL COST . | Low „on paper”, operationally high . | Predictable and easier to control . |
SECURITY . | Based on internal resources . | Based on implementation practice . |
In practice, it is the indirect costs that determine which option turns out to be more expensive.
Why contractor experience matters
More and more DIWASS-related offers are appearing on the market. However, not all of them are based on real operational practice. Some companies are only theoretically familiar with the subject, without experience in international waste transport and working on real cases.
Such cooperation can be risky. In addition, mistakes made at the recording or data preparation stage often only come to light later, when operations are already underway. Their correction can be time-consuming and costly and, in extreme cases, lead to the suspension of shipments.
Therefore, when choosing a contractor, it is worth paying attention not only to price, but also to experience, responsibilities and a real knowledge of regulations and procedures.
PROFESSIONAL DIWASS REGISTRATION - £ 999
As part of the service, we ensure that the company's account is registered and prepared in DIWASS by a team that has been active in the international waste transport market for more than a decade. We verify the data, organise the process and help you correctly define your company's role in the system. In this way, you reduce the risk of errors that are later difficult to reverse.
IMPORTANT: A LOWER PRICE OFTEN MEANS A LACK OF PRACTICAL PROCEDURES AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE QUALITY OF IMPLEMENTATION. IN SUCH CASES, THE COSTS COME BACK LATER - IN THE FORM OF CORRECTIONS, DOWNTIME AND IMPROVISATIONS.
DIWASS and the price of implementation in the company
The cost of implementing DIWASS is not just a question of a one-off fee. It is a decision about how to prepare a company for a new model of waste transport supervision. Going it alone means a greater risk of errors and higher indirect costs. The support of an experienced advisor allows you to structure your processes and operate in a predictable manner.
The question of the cost of implementing DIWASS is therefore worth considering more broadly. It is not just about the amount, but about the real cost of the choice of strategy: improvisation or conscious, professional implementation.
