Environmental/Water Management - Overview

Environmental/Water Management - Overview

The Environmental/Water Management Module in OERCA organizes all tools related to environmental testing and water treatment into a single platform.  The Environmental/Water Management Module includes tools such as equipment inventory, treatment/chemical inventory, applying treatments,  manual entry configuration and more. This module will also allow for a Company to have the ability to expand environmental/water management to non-animal areas such as swimming pools and other water features like fountains or splash pads.

The Main Menu contains features that mostly facilitate data entry; while the Settings Menu (gear icon) contains configuration tools such as setting up test sites, configuring test parameters and assigning ranges.
