Municipal Waste Management
Today, local authorities are expected to do more with less in their waste management. To be more efficient, more sustainable, and more productive, but with smaller budgets, fewer workers, and fewer resources. That pressure is passed on when services are contracted out to private haulers.
Whether it's spreadsheet-based operations or using disconnected systems, there's no way to bring all data together as a single source of truth for optimised decision making.
It's extremely difficult to streamline and automate processes when the systems you're using for route planning, citizen management, billing and so on, can't be integrated.
Without digital tools that empower live tracking, the instant transfer of information between teams, and automation of common requests, local authorities and private haulers lack the agility and flexibility to respond quickly to daily issues.
This not only creates frustration between drivers and back office teams, but impacts the quality of citizen service.
While current systems might 'get the job done', local authorities and private haulers have a difficult time making sense of valuable data, particularly when it's coming from different sources.
Local authorities and private haulers understand they could be operating more sustainably and efficiently, but outdated systems can't integrate with new technologies - such as fill level sensors and weight sensors - to understand how to optimise performance.
Managing waste collection for tens of thousands of citizens and commercial customers involves a complex infrastructure of assets, fleets, routes and customer data. For local authorities and private haulers, this information is usually tied up in spreadsheets and is difficult to track.
Routes are often managed manually with limited data insights, leading to inefficient collection schedules and high costs.
