Challenge

"Our greatest challenge at the time was to centralize all branches of our service in a single system. Each service branch used to work with its own software. Obviously, a lot of effort was needed to integrate everything into a centralized system but everything went very smoothly using AMCS’ Platform."

Challenge

Centralize all branches

Richard Bakker, Groningen Operations: "Our greatest challenge at the time was to centralize all branches of our service in a single system. Each service branch used to work with its own software. Obviously, a lot of effort was needed to integrate everything into a centralized system, but everything went very smoothly using AMCS’ Enterprise Management back-office software."

Over the years, we have been able to automate a great deal; activities such as cleaning, household waste collection, wheelie bins, waste disposal, commercial business activities, grids and manholes, underground containers, personnel and timesheets, routes plans, etc. In addition, we collect lots of data, analyze it and put optimization measures in place using the management information gathered from the reports.

Solution

"We are currently using Enterprise Management software, unmanned weighing at the waste recycling facility, a link with the Diftar waste registration system, Mobile Workforce tablet solution and Qlikview as an analysis tool", Richard Bakker, Groningen Operations tells us.
