Waste collection, made simple

Platform, app and sensors for waste management companies and municipalities – every feature in detail.

adhoc.smartwaste in action

From the dashboard through fill levels and the map to a finished route – a minute and a half through the platform.

Software

Platform & app

The platform is the heart of the solution: it pools all container data and turns it into routes, forecasts and reports.

01

Container management

An overview of every asset and location. Place containers precisely on the map or via GPS and the app; master data, fill level and battery state at a glance. Import from and export to third-party systems.

02

Route planning

Calculates the optimal route automatically. Based on real fill levels, only the containers that are actually due make it into the route – forecasts schedule them in good time.

03

Data analytics & alarms

Fill-level curves, temperatures and collections in detail. The forecast supplies a due date; freely configurable alarms report by email or text message when a threshold is reached or a container leaves its location.
