It provides a wide range of tools to help assemble, sort, manage and report on your list of Food Service Establishments (FSEs) like scheduling and managing high volume FSE inspections including customizing the inspection forms and reports, automatically calculating % grease, flag non-compliance, and prompt you to generate a Notice of Violation (NOV) or Warning letter. Manage Your Liquid Hauled Waste Program – Start to Finish Linko Hauled Waste (LinkoHW) efficiently manages municipal FOG and septage hauled waste programs. The easily customizable, and process-specific screens make high volume data entry and reporting fast and easy. Combining LinkoHW with LinkoFOG provides comprehensive Cradle-to-Grave Fats, Oils and Grease tracking.

LinkoHW provides a wide range of tools to help with hauler inventory, manifests, disposals and volumes tracking, activities and events scheduling, violations detection and enforcement, samples and results, and finally reporting. Optimize Your Remote Inspections with Real-Time Access Linko Remote Inspector allows inspectors to easily collect data electronically in the field. Designed for use with any tablet, the software uses electronic versions of your existing inspection forms. The inspection forms are synchronized to your desktop, and photos can be added to a record on the spot, drastically reducing the amount of organizing and manual data entry back at the office. Manage your facilities by grouping them by inspector, customize required form fields, collect signatures with the swipe of a finger, access historical inspection records when you need them, and email them instantly. Reduce Inspections Through Electronic Pumpout Manifests Linko’s Pumpout Manifest (POM) Portal is designed for FOG Programs who want to focus their limited resources on facilities that are not cleaning their grease abatement devices as required, exceed 25% rules or have devices in need of repair. With Linko POM Portal, you can easily gather real-time electronic pumpout manifests from facilities or haulers thereby eliminating manual data entry, automatically email reminders, as well as schedule pumpouts for the Facilities. Facilities not meeting their maintenance requirements are easily identified, allowing FOG Program staff to focus enforcement and inspection activities on those facilities not in compliance. Automate Self-Monitoring Reporting with Linko Exchange With LinkoExchange, industries can quickly login to enter their Self-Monitoring Report (SMR) and view information about reporting requirements. LinkoExchange automatically performs compliance calculations, sends permit limit violation notifications, generates a score card highlighting missing elements from the reporting package, and ensures completeness and accuracy. The generated SMR package is submitted electronically, backed up with the EPA required Copy of Record (COR), and a submission confirmation receipt is emailed. The authority can also easily login to LinkoExchange to review the SMR results, seamlessly sync the data to their LinkoCTS software, and receive email alerts if the Industrial Users (IUs) results are over their permit limit.
