01 Tipping point: Setting the stage for smarter waste management
BENEFIT 1 Tipping point: Setting the stage for smarter waste management Waste collection fleets face the ever-present challenge of maximizing efficiency and minimizing costs while meeting service demands. Municipal waste organizations face constant pressure from citizens to stretch taxpayer dollars and deliver reliable waste collection services, which requires them to continuously improve their operations. Conversely, commercial waste management companies must carefully review their costs, efficiently manage their fleets and also do more with less if they want to keep profitability high. Given these pressing realities, it’s evident that the industry is at a clear tipping point. The good news is that telematics can help you reduce the load by streamlining service verification, reducing operating costs and discarding inefficiencies from your processes. Telematics solutions drive value by collecting data from every connected vehicle in your garbage fleet and processing the data to extract valuable, actionable insights. With these insights, you can pinpoint areas for improvement and develop strategies to help enhance efficiency and cost savings.
