Waste management software for collection and street cleansing
Most waste operations still plan rounds in spreadsheets and paper maps, then find out what really happened when the crews come back. MapSmart is waste management software that covers the whole loop in one system: design the rounds, solve the routes, dispatch the day, watch it run live, and see what it cost.
Design rounds your crews recognise
Rounds are built from whole streets and balanced by real workload, the hours, tonnage and mileage each one carries, rather than a count of properties. No street is split across two rounds and no round is left with a sliver of somebody else’s patch.
Planning that used to take three hours is cut to about twenty minutes, and you see the cost of a round before you commit to it.
Route optimisation built for refuse vehicles
Solve one round or hundreds at once against vehicle capacity, shift length, tip trips and road restrictions. Optimised routes have cut driven kilometres by 23%, and a single solved round has held 7,758 stops.
Run the day, not just the plan
- Scheduled dispatch: recurring schedules push each day’s rounds automatically, with yesterday’s missed collections blended back in.
- Live control room: every driver, stop and vehicle on one map. Reassign work, complete stops on behalf of a crew, and log what went wrong.
- Field app for crews: today’s route stop by stop on iOS and Android, working offline, with exception and hazard reporting from the cab.
- Cost analysis: where the working day goes, round by round, as evidence for tenders and service reviews.
Who it is for
Local authorities, waste and recycling operators, street cleansing teams and waste contractors running scheduled collections, from a handful of vehicles to a whole district.
Frequently asked questions
What does waste management software do?
It plans and runs collection work: which properties go on which round, the order a vehicle visits them, which day each round runs, and what happened on the day. MapSmart does all of that in one system, from round design to the crew app to the cost report.
Does it handle street cleansing as well as bin collections?
Yes. MapSmart plans rounds and routes for waste collection and street cleansing, and both run through the same dispatch, control room and crew app.
Do crews need a signal to use the app?
No. The crew app on iOS and Android works offline and syncs when the connection returns, so a round in a rural area or a dead spot still gets recorded.
What happens to missed collections?
They are logged from the cab or the control room and blended back into the next scheduled dispatch automatically, rather than being chased on paper.
