Bulk & Waste Transport
Bulk and waste transportation has always been a challenging logistics business, and new complexities are emerging due to new customer expectations, such as predicting arrival times.
At the same time, new opportunities are arising from data such as real-time fill rates for dumpsters. To make the most of this, players are digitizing their processes, which route optimization supports and improves.
Client Case
Discover the case study of our client who transports waste between collection and treatment centers in the Paris region, with a fleet of 72 vehicles.
Use cases for
Bulk & Waste Transport
Operations Scheduling
Based on a set of orders to be scheduled and available resources, our algorithms optimally plan complex waste and bulk material handling operations to optimize costs, productivity and service quality.
Real-Time Adjustments
As operations unfold and unexpected events or emergencies occur, our algorithm continuously calculates optimal route adjustments, taking into account the current driver and traffic conditions.
Predictive ETA
Based on scheduled operations, our algorithms calculate predictive arrival times that can be used to inform loading/unloading websites of truck arrivals.
Calls for Tender
During a tender, our algorithms can be used to calculate the optimal transportation costs for any relevant scenario, resulting in the best offer.
Handle Bulk & Waste Transport
Specific Constraints
Direct Delivery
If needed, some deliveries can be immediately delivered after pick-up, so the collected products do not get mixed up.
Site Capacities
If multiple loadings/unloadings are scheduled at a site, the actual capacity of vehicles at the same time is taken into account.
Mixed Time Slots
Truck Attributes
Heavy trucks drive more slowly and some roads are closed to them, which has an impact on travel time.
Product Mix
Taking into account the incompatibility of the consecutive products and the need to wash the containers in between.
Guaranteed Revenues
Guarantee subcontractor revenues for each route to promote long-term partnerships.
