01 Tipping point: Setting the stage for smarter waste management
Asset utilization For waste management companies, asset utilization describes how much usage each of your organization’s garbage trucks or equipment regularly receive. It’s imperative to monitor vehicle usage in particular, as over- or under-usage can result in unnecessarily high costs on maintenance, depreciation and wear and tear. When setting out to begin tracking garbage truck utilization, a number of calculations can help you determine your fleet’s current metrics. However, manually collecting the required data points and running the calculations by hand can result in expensive errors, wasted time and unnecessary complexity. Telematics simplifies the entire process of utilization by sifting through all the data for you. Your solution will present you with an actionable, high-level overview of your most and least used vehicles. Using its comprehensive dashboard, you can identify which vehicles need to be driven more or offloaded from your fleet. Ultimately, telematics makes it easier to identify where low usage may be creating waste in your operations, save time and cut costs.
