Monitoring waste management in Russia

Problem

LLC Gornozavodsky enterprise for public utilities deals with waste collection and management in a small town in Perm Krai, Russia. The core issue they faced was a lack of information for decision making and no automation of routine processes:

• Due to a large number of container sites (1,224), it was challenging to keep a log manually – they collected waste from 831 sites daily, which comprised 27,000 trips per month; 
• No control over actually executed work;
• No automatic synchronization between container site directories of the client and the regional waste collection operator – they had to duplicate data manually;
• Time-consuming report generation – they created reports once a month, which was not enough to understand the current situation;
• No statistics for further planning.

The company needed a comprehensive waste management telematics solution to solve these problems.

Solution

For this project, the Wialon partner in Russia NSC (National System of Control) developed a telematics solution with the following functionality:

• maintain directories of container sites, creating new ones by synchronizing with the Wialon Hosting geofences;
• synchronize directories with the regional operator’s software PAC ACS Big Three – the integration was carried out using Wialon SDK and API; 
• assign transport for different types of work;
• keep route logs to see the actual work done;
• keep waste collection schedules to get statistics on the average number of trips per week/month;
• automatically generate job completion acts at the end of the month and send them via email;
• freeze billing periods when there are no changes;
• distribute access rights.

The company is planning to supplement the app’s functionality with the Logistics app. It will provide the ability to plan routes and send photos via a mobile application to confirm waste collection.
