Agile On Demand Waste Collection

Why it should be a part of your future business

Why on demand?

Living in a digital age and in an age where customers expect instant responses, it becomes increasingly important to adapt your business processes accordingly. One of the key answers to this challenge is agile route optimization. Implementing this in your business will not only increase its level of customer service levels and responsiveness, it will also dramatically decrease costs and increase earnings.

In the traditional world of waste collection and transportation, giving customer better service levels, allowing for last minute changes, softening up on fixed collection frequencies, removing order cut-off time, and in general offering more flexibility to your customers, will have huge positive cost implications. In this article, we will give examples of how to turn increasing customer demands into your competitive advantage.

How on demand?

In order to be able to adapt to such customer requirements, having a new generation route optimization software can make all the difference in the world. To understand how agile route optimization can help your organization, and thereby your customers, below is a list of items that will make life a whole lot easier when handling on demand collections:

• Self-service for customers; they book an order online by themselves and are presented with the best possible routes, times and prices for the customer to choose from.
• Automatic monitoring of fill-levels combined with fill-up forecasting determining the optimal time of collection.
• Planning dynamic order types, like roll-off, instantly and incrementally to facilitate ongoing capacity overview and continuous route optimization as additional orders comes in.
• Precise monitoring of execution; be able to see if a stop was not served as planned and live rescheduling to the most optimal time.

What one needs to be able to handle on demand collection, is an agile and incremental planning and optimization system that also includes real-time optimization.
