Optimize Waste Operations With Software Built for the Field
Route optimization, fleet tracking, and compliance reporting platforms for waste haulers and recycling operators, managed by AI at a fraction of agency costs.
Industry: Waste Management
Pain Points
- Route Planning Is Inefficient: Static routes designed years ago ignore new developments, seasonal volume changes, and traffic patterns. Trucks drive unnecessary miles while some areas get inconsistent service.
- Container Overflow and Missed Pickups: Without fill-level monitoring, haulers run fixed schedules regardless of actual need. Overflowing bins generate complaints while half-empty pickups waste fuel and labor.
- Regulatory Compliance Is Paper-Heavy: EPA manifests, landfill diversion reports, and state recycling mandates require meticulous record-keeping. Paper-based tracking creates audit risk and data entry errors.
Solutions
- Route Optimization Platforms: AI-powered route planning systems that factor in container locations, fill levels, traffic, vehicle capacity, and time windows to minimize miles driven and maximize pickups.
- Dynamic route generation and rebalancing
- GPS-based turn-by-turn navigation
- Service verification with photo capture
- Customer time-window constraints
- Driver mobile app with route details
- Fleet and Asset Management: Real-time fleet tracking with vehicle diagnostics, container inventory management, maintenance scheduling, and driver performance monitoring.
- Real-time GPS fleet tracking
- Vehicle telematics and diagnostics
- Container RFID tracking and inventory
- Preventive maintenance scheduling
- Driver behavior scoring
- Recycling and Diversion Reporting: Platforms tracking material streams from collection through processing, calculating diversion rates, and generating compliance reports for municipal and state regulators.
- Material stream categorization
- Scale ticket integration
- Diversion rate calculation
- Regulatory report generation
Use Cases
- Route Optimization Platform — A dynamic routing system that generates daily optimized routes based on container fill levels, service contracts, vehicle capacity, and real-time traffic data. (130-190, $260-$380, 7-9 weeks)
- Customer Service Portal — A self-service portal where residential and commercial customers request pickups, report missed collections, view schedules, pay invoices, and manage container sizes. (80-130, $160-$260, 4-6 weeks)
- Landfill Operations Manager — A platform managing landfill gate operations with scale integration, load ticketing, material categorization, airspace tracking, and environmental monitoring data. (100-150, $200-$300, 5-7 weeks)
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can you integrate with IoT fill-level sensors?
- Yes. We integrate with Enevo, Bigbelly, Sensoneo, and custom ultrasonic sensors to trigger collection routes based on actual container fill levels rather than fixed schedules.
- Do you build apps for drivers in the field?
- We build mobile apps for drivers with GPS navigation, route checklists, service verification via photo capture, exception reporting, and offline capability for areas with poor coverage.
- How do you handle RFID container tracking?
- We integrate with RFID readers mounted on trucks to automatically log which containers were serviced, capture weights, and reconcile service events against customer contracts.
- Can you generate EPA compliance reports?
- We build automated reporting tools that aggregate collection, diversion, and disposal data into formatted reports meeting EPA, state, and municipal regulatory requirements.
