Waste Management
Operating a fleet of waste management vehicles is getting more complicated. Fleet operating costs must be managed more closely to stay within budget, especially as fuel prices and other fees increase. Fortunately there is better technology available now to help make fleet operations more efficient, and the fleet management job easier.
The eFleet system combines the best available fleet management technologies into an integrated system that provides fleet-wide route optimization, individual route guidance in every vehicle, the location of every customer and stop point on each route, ad-hoc job changes any time, service verification with GPS location, driver schedule adherence, and vehicle maintenance management.
With eFleet, adding all this functionality to your operations is easy. It’s a hosted system so you don’t need to own and operate any computer servers, hire IT staff to do network installation, upgrades, system maintenance, or any of the complex technical tasks of client-server systems. All authorized eFleet users can access the system from any web browser.
eFleet is easy on the budget as well. Because it’s a hosted system, the up front investment is negligible. Everything you need is included in a nominal monthly subscription fee, so your capital budget isn’t impacted, and your operating budget will show improvements right away due to improved operational efficiencies.
