Many believe the Waste Management industry is just about logistics. Pick it up here, drop it off there. Could it really be that simple? NO. Think about this - What other logistics company has a fleet of trucks that:

• Leave the yard empty in the morning
• Fill up during the day despite the load at each stop
• Don’t know how much volume will be collected
• Don’t know the weight of the bins - are any bins blocked
• Are unsure of the effects of rain/snow that may have entered a bin
• Lack visibility into the off-road conditions at the end location (turn times at the landfill can easily be impacted by weather)

It’s pretty clear to see: there isn’t a single logistics company that deals with so much uncertainty on a daily basis. With FedEx, UPS, long haul freight or even ocean freight, nearly all variables have been clearly defined from start to finish, allowing for execution that has been precisely dialed in. This is a luxury the waste industry historically hasn’t had. But these tides are changing. This presentation is going to discuss in more detail the biggest challenges faced by the waste industry and specific ways in which these challenges can be overcome with Mobility Workflow Automation.
