Digital order processing
AVA Abfallverwertung Augsburg KU

With around 180 employees, AVA Abfallverwertung Augsburg KU operates a waste-to-energy plant with integrated hospital waste incineration, flue gas cleaning, slag processing and a biowaste fermentation plant.
slag treatment and a biowaste fermentation plant.

State-of-the-art firing technology and sophisticated filter systems ensure that emissions in all parts of the plant are well below the values prescribed by law. The Augsburg waste utilisation plant was commissioned in 1994 and is used to dispose of municipal and commercial waste from the city of Augsburg.

All procurement processes are handled by AVA. Around 3,800 requisitions and 2,100 orders were processed in 2020. Processing, monitoring and legally compliant documentation were previously carried out in paper form.

In order to optimise the ordering process, the ‘digital order processing’ project was planned and successfully implemented between July and November 2020. RODIAS played a leading role in the implementation of the project.

The project has saved AVA a lot of paper and postage costs. It also saves around 50 folders a year and the storage space required for the 10-year retention period for order documents.

Of course, the environment is also happy about these savings.
