to <a href=\"https:\/\/re-flow.co.uk\/product\/features\/defra-digital-waste-tracking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">demonstrate a new addition<\/a> to their software aiming to make that process easier.<\/p>\n<p>Information captured through Re-flow\u2019s site forms can now be automatically transferred directly into Defra processes through its new Defra waste tracking connector, helping contractors remove manual handovers and reduce duplicate data entry.<\/p>\n<p>An extra stage can route the forms for approval first, cutting out wasted time while also keeping standards as they should
