Routing

Collective plans the most efficient routes to optimise your waste management operations and provide a consistent service to your customers.

Route planning can be an arduous task, especially when you take into consideration the geographical difficulties of your local council or municipality. One-way streets, dead end cul-de-sacs and narrow roads can be difficult to navigate, and you may end up missing some of your residents’ bins, leading to dissatisfaction within the community. Collective plans routes for you whilst making sure to provide the most efficient solution, take care of any challenges, keep your crews safe and minimise disruption to residents.

Collective: Route Planning and Optimisation Made Easy

Collective uses data analysis to form the best routing solutions for your fleet. Taking information about the local area, such as schools, road closures and one-way systems; comments made by your crew whilst they’ve been working; as well as any exceptions or special requests made by residents and customers; Collective then maps out a route that caters to all needs and displays it visually within the cab. The map is easy to navigate, with clear instructions and notifications for your crew to assist them during their rounds.

Real-Time Feedback with In-Cab Telematics

New obstacles and challenges can arise at any time; however, in-cab telematics allow your drivers to report any incidents and Collective will update accordingly so the issue can be avoided on the next collection. Waste pick-up points may vary between businesses, from the front of the premises to the back, and there may even be a designated entrance. You can report all information through telematics and the route will be updated for future use.

Improve Your Environmental Impact

Efficiency is about making the best use of your vehicles and drivers to deliver a smooth, timely waste management operation. Collective manages workloads and capacity to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions for a greener and more sustainable future. In-cab telematics will track the performance of your vehicles and alert you to any malfunctions for fast repairs and maintenance. Keeping your vehicles in good condition increases their efficiency.
