WASTE
Documented, data-driven waste collection, with no extra work for the crew.
Waste collection is one of a municipality's largest recurring operations, yet it is usually managed with little evidence. When a resident reports a bin that was not emptied, there is rarely a record that shows what happened, and route planning relies more on habit than on data.
SCMS WASTE creates a record of every collection automatically. A discreet sensor on each bin and a gateway in each collection vehicle allow the platform to associate bin handling, vehicle presence, location and time. The result is a Digital Proof of Collection: what was served, what was missed, and how each route was actually run.
From the field to action
Bin
A discreet sensor registers when the bin is handled.
Vehicle
A vehicle-mounted gateway associates the event with vehicle, place and time.
SCMS
The platform builds the Digital Proof of Collection and the route record.
Action
Exceptions are flagged, routes are reviewed and residents are informed.
What WASTE does
Digital Proof of Collection
Automatic documentation of collection per bin, time and vehicle, with missed bins and exceptions identified immediately.
Data for better routes
Shows non-productive kilometres, overloaded routes, difficult points and the real capacity of the fleet.
SCMS BRAIN
Ask the collection data questions in plain language. Compare periods, test scenarios and request more efficient allocations.
Resident updates
Through the City App, residents can receive targeted notices such as confirmation that the bin in their neighbourhood has just been emptied.
No crew interaction
Collection is recorded as work is done. Drivers and crews do not need to log anything.
Why it matters to the municipality
Evidence, not assumptions
Each collection is documented, so complaints and disputes can be answered with records.
Routes planned on real data
Planning is based on how routes are actually executed.
Better use of the fleet
Unproductive distance and overloaded routes become visible and can be corrected.
Better-informed residents
Targeted notices support better everyday behaviour around waste disposal.

WASTE runs on the common platform
It shares administration, notifications, the VISION dashboard and the City App with every other SCMS module, so it can be deployed alone or as part of a wider programme.
