Company Overview
OnlineRME™, LLC is a joint undertaking of Orenco Systems®, Inc. and the principals of eOnsite, LLC. The company was created to develop and market OnlineRME throughout North America and around the world.
Orenco was founded in 1981 to design and manufacture leading-edge equipment for onsite and decentralized wastewater systems. Since 2000, Orenco’s IT department has also been developing a suite of online tools for the onsite industry. One of these is vericomm.net, to monitor and control wastewater systems via remote telemetry. Others include advantexdealer.com and advantexservice.com, to provide lifetime data tracking for dealers and service providers of Orenco’s flagship product: the AdvanTex wastewater treatment system.
eOnsite was founded in 1999 to develop an innovative software for paperless monitoring of onsite wastewater systems. eOnsite.Net became the first comprehensive, Web-based data management tool created especially for local health jurisdictions, to help them track the onsite systems within their jurisdictions and to manage, analyze, and summarize the field inspection reports for those systems.
Together, Orenco and eOnsite have produced OnlineRME, a Web-based wastewater management tool for a variety of stakeholders in the onsite industry. A management tool that promises to be the “gold standard” in its field.
