Mapping software for Waste Management

Waste management companies benefit from leveraging the full value of their data to gain valuable insights into their customer base and wider business environment.

Create maps from your data as a tool to:

• Optimise operational efficiency for logistics, scheduling and assigning resources to key areas.
• Create and identify new customer categories via location to enhance business development.
• Condense large amounts of data into clear, concise maps and charts for analysis.

Optimise operational efficiency & improve logistics

Mapping data empowers waste management companies to fully optimise their operational efficiency while improving logistics. Gain efficiencies by mapping and understanding the volumes of material and resources involved.

Create maps to show:

• Your customer base
  A full profile of your customers will enhance your ability to create and identify service areas and territories for activities like:
  • Kerbside collections for residential areas.
  • Mass collection points and areas for apartment and commercial blocks.
• Scheduling
  • Understand where your customers are, making scheduling so much easier!
  • Decide which vehicles need to be in which areas on which days.
• Routes
  • Determine the distance from one depot to another and identify the most efficient movement of waste/ recycling material from one place to another.
  • Consider restrictions that may occur on routes. Layer your maps with data to include traffic patterns to forecast the timing of your truck pickups.
• Waste materials collected and deposited
  • Understand the ratios in the types of waste to enable you to determine the types of trucks you should use on each route.

Asset tracking

With many different assets, it’s important for waste management companies to implement robust asset tracking.

Mapping software enables you to:

• View and analyse the locations of your assets.
• Effectively and efficiently allocate required resources.

Use eSpatial OnDemand GIS for asset tracking to get answers to questions like:

• Where are my depots?
• How far are they from other key locations?
• Where are my recycling facilities?
• Where are the best places to place recycling bins?
• Which areas generate the highest volume of materials?
• Do we need to assign more/ fewer trucks to certain areas for pickups?
• Where are my skips and bins located?
• Do they need emptying/ have they been vandalised?

Business development

Mapping business data provides you with additional, geographically-oriented insights that have the power to drive your waste management business forward.

Use mapping software to:

• Plan targeted marketing campaigns via key customer categories and territories.
• Develop appropriate zone-based pricing strategies.
• Track & analyse trends to forecast & plan ahead for the future.
• Discover new developments or opportunities.
• Organise and track sales efforts.
• Optimise the best places for recycling facilities based on:
