Route Planning

Efficient waste collection is one of the biggest challenges cities and service providers face today.

Inefficient route planning leads to unnecessary fuel consumption, higher operational costs, underutilized resources, and a negative environmental impact. Our Route Planning solution automates and optimizes the management of waste collection routes, ensuring maximum efficiency and sustainability while keeping costs under control.

Problems we solve

  • Inefficient routes that increase fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions, and travel distance.
  • Underutilized vehicle capacity, workforce, and time, leading to higher operational costs.
  • Manual planning processes that are time-consuming and prone to errors.
  • Difficulty handling large-scale data from thousands of bins and vehicles.
  • Negative city impacts such as traffic congestion, noise, and air pollution caused by inefficient collection.

Key functionalities and benefits of our solution

Advanced software technology

Route Planning Engine is a result of in-house R&D.  We worked tirelessly to build an engine that understands the complex dynamics of the waste collection even in a large city (hundreds of vehicles, thousands of bins).

The Engine can accommodate multiple rules and count in different variables (vehicle capacity, bin capacity, trash type, bin type, work schedule) to get you the routes you need. You can plan both scheduled or on-demand pickups. Find the best route for your waste truck and optimize the transport for your garbage disposal now – smart routing is the optimal solution in the world of waste management industry.

Redesigning fixed routes?

Not all waste collector wish to move towards on-demand waste collection run by waste monitoring sensors.  Route Planning solution can accommodate fixed routes very well. First, we run your existing data through Collection Efficiency Analysis to see how well do you manage waste collection today.

Once we identify possible savings and unused capacities, we can run endless scenarios with our route calculation algorithms taking into account all pre-defined data about fleet, bins, manhours and more. The algorithms can work with thousands of points (bins). All the scenarios include a cost estimate. Together we choose the scenarios that fulfil your goals – smaller fleet, new customers, new bins, fuller vehicles, emptier bins.
