Meerlanden partners with AMCS in the digital transformation of both its commercial and municipal operations to drive service and sustainability.
Meerlanden, a partner of eight municipalities and 3500 private companies that collects waste and recyclables and converts them to valuable resource, products, and energy in the Netherlands. Meerlanden has selected the AMCS Platform to automate both its commercial and municipal operations. This modern and scalable SaaS solution offers an advanced user experience to automate the key business processes of Meerlanden from customer onboarding through to invoicing.
Meerlanden will migrate from AfvalRis (acquired by AMCS in 2016) to a single integrated solution, the AMCS Platform. This implementation will enable Meerlanden to streamline and optimize its processes to increase service levels to municipalities, citizens and businesses while driving circular economy initiatives.
