SAMS

Water Information Management Software

What Does WIMS Really Cost?

Legacy compliance platforms were built for a simpler regulatory world. SAMS is the best modern, cloud-based alternative built specifically for water and wastewater utilities. 

                                                                                       

Switching from Hach WIMS to SAMS Hach WIMS stores an out-of-limit pH value without flagging it. SAMS flags the same value automatically, surfaces missing data early, exports in any format with no year limit, and runs in the cloud on AWS.

The Real Cost Of Staying With WIMS

Less Manual Reporting, Fewer Costly Violations

Legacy on-premise compliance software was built for a different era of water management. Every month you stay is a month of growing costs, compliance risk, and loss of public trust. 

  1. Early 1990s

    Paper, clipboards, and spreadsheets

    Data lived everywhere

    Compliance data before centralized software Process, lab, and field data scattered across disconnected paper logs and spreadsheets with tangled paths between them. Process Lab Field

    Bench sheets, operator logs, and spreadsheets sat in different places. Every monthly report started with retyping numbers by hand.

    • Manual data entry, often more than once
    • Exceedances found while building the report
    • Records stored in binders and local files
  2. Mid 1990s

    WIMS Classic

    Data moved to one local server

    On-premises water information management Process, lab, and field data flowing into a single on-premises server, which produces a monthly DMR and MOR report. Process Lab Field On-premises server DMR / MOR

    An on-premises database brought lab, process, and field data together in one place for DMR and MOR reporting.

    • Installed and maintained on local servers
    • Reports built on a monthly cycle
    • Last major Classic release: version 7.4, February 2013
  3. 2020s

    SAMS

    Cloud compliance that works ahead of the deadline

    SAMS cloud compliance platform Process, lab, and field data syncing to the SAMS cloud, which shows a live compliance dashboard with an automatic exceedance flag, a missing data warning, a resample reminder, and an email alert. Process Lab Field SAMS Compliance dashboard Exceedance flagged: TSS, Outfall 001 Missing data: 2 samples this week Resample due: 3 days left in window Alert emailed to compliance team

    We keep your data in one place and put it to work. No servers to maintain, and your team sees problems while there is still time to act.

    • Exceedances flagged automatically
    • Missing data visible before reports are due
    • Resampling actions inside the compliance window
    • Automated warnings, alerts, and emails

What Are the Risks of Staying on Hach WIMS?

Where WIMS Leaves You Stranded

  • 30 to 50%

    Of Water Workers Will Retire Within 10 Years

    The manual workarounds and undocumented calculations holding your program together leave with them. Without standardized workflows, your next hire inherits a problem, not a program.

  • 3 to 6 Weeks

    To Prepare for an Audit on Manual Systems

    Even then, packages come back incomplete. EPA flags miscalculated averages, incorrect loading rates, and mishandled nondetects as the most common DMR errors.

  • Thousands

    In Penalty Enforcements

    A sample that falls between two systems or a notice sent to the wrong address is all it takes. Disconnected data is not an inefficiency. It is a liability.

  • Per User

    Licensing on Legacy Platforms

    Every new operator, lab tech, or inspector who needs access adds to your bill. Growing your team should not mean growing your software costs.

  • 2013

    The Last Major Hach WIMS Release

    LCRI, PFAS monitoring, and new NetDMR formats all came after. Every requirement your software cannot handle becomes a manual process your team maintains.

  • 1 Server

    Holding Your Compliance Data On Site

    Every update is a gamble and every outage is a deadline risk. Field, lab, and SCADA data still need hours of reconciliation before a DMR goes out.

SAMS Platform Coverage

One Operational Hub

Where legacy platforms silo separate module software SAMS works as one operational hub for all of your modules. Already built with Customer Portal and Chain of Custody requirements. SAMS by NJBSoft covers every major environmental compliance requirement your utility manages, connected and automated from a single platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

SAMS by NJBSoft is a purpose-built cloud alternative to Hach WIMS for water and wastewater utilities. Unlike WIMS, which focuses on lab and process data management for a single program, SAMS covers nine compliance programs in one connected platform: drinking water (SDWA), wastewater (NPDES/DMR), industrial pretreatment, FOG, cross-connection control, stormwater (MS4), air quality, asset management, and LCRI. SAMS is SOC 2 Type II certified, built on AWS, and includes an Esri Gold Partnership for native GIS integration. 
 
 
Yes. SAMS automates discharge monitoring report (DMR) generation and supports Net DMR electronic submission, NPDES self-monitoring reports, and permit exceedance alerts. Field data captured on mobile, lab imports, and SCADA-integrated readings all flow directly into reporting outputs, eliminating the manual assembly that WIMS typically requires. SAMS also handles MORs, CCRs, and other regulatory outputs across all nine compliance programs from the same data environment.
 
 
Yes. SAMS IPP replaces Linko for managing industrial pretreatment programs: permitting, inspection scheduling, sampling, violation tracking, and compliance reporting. SAMS FOG handles fats, oils, and grease facility management, inspection scheduling, hauler manifests, and program reporting. The significant advantage over Linko is that both programs connect to the same platform managing all your other compliance programs. Your pretreatment data, wastewater data, and stormwater data share one environment, one audit trail, and one reporting interface.
 
 
SAMS has a dedicated implementation team that manages the migration from legacy systems, including WIMS, WaterTrax, Linko, and spreadsheet-based workflows. Historical records are preserved and imported. Your program configurations are built to match your existing workflows, not a generic template. Most utilities are fully operational within a few months. The SAMS team does not hand off a login and disappear: we remain engaged after go-live to support staff training, configuration changes, and any regulatory updates that affect your programs.
 
 
Yes. SAMS includes a dedicated LCRI module covering service line inventory, sampling scheduling, public notification workflows, and EPA reporting for the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements. SAMS Water also supports PFAS monitoring and sampling schedule management. Both programs are included in the platform today, not on a future roadmap. When EPA issues new guidance, SAMS updates the platform, and utilities already on the system receive those updates automatically.
 
 
SAMS pricing is module-based and does not charge per user or per data entry. Unlimited users, unlimited data. This model differs significantly from legacy license structures where adding chain of custody, customer portals, and field data apps are included out of the box. For a pricing discussion based on your utility’s specific programs and size, the best step is to book a demonstration. We will walk you through what SAMS covers and build a proposal that reflects your programs needs.
