Waste Collection Rounds: The right balance

It is difficult to balance a shrinking budget whilst keeping your staff and customers happy.

Owing to resource cuts, waste departments have limited options available when it comes to round planning and design. These options generally sit within two categories; paper maps and route optimising software.

Both are well proven methods but where one succeeds the other fails.

Essentially, you should be looking to find a balance of technology and people.

Where many organisations avoid the use of too much data and predominantly rely on crew knowledge, others will heavily invest in new technologies that only rely on data provided.

In the real world, we know that technology alone can never truly succeed without the valuable local knowledge from your crews. For example, the roads that become busy with parked cars during school runs or which roads are quieter at certain times of the day.

We have developed a collaborative solution that supports you to re-balance your rounds by integrating important geographical, property and tonnage data with the invaluable local knowledge of your crews.

Our extensive experience in solving complex geospatial business problems means our services include specialist methodologies used by a team that truly understands the dynamics of field operations.
