Waste Management module

How the Waste Management module will help you

The My Council Services Waste Management capabilities can be implemented and used in three varying levels of functional scope:

  • Enterprise Waste Management deployment provides specific line of business functionality to manage the complete range and depth of all refuse, waste and recycling processes across the council.
  • Integrated Waste Management provides a comprehensive set of front and back office capability to manage the core recycling and waste management processes. It is also suited to situations where other waste-related IT applications are in use and to which My Council Services may well be integrated.
  • Know My Bin Day provides the council with a specific set of capability that enables the access to and management of refuse round collection data in order that this can be personalised and displayed for customers as part of a self-service offering.

These three tiers are described in more detail below:

Enterprise Waste Management

This module offers fully configurable and feature rich management of all aspects of local authority waste management processes including:

  • Bin type set up configuration
  • Bin collection data creation, import management, search and retrieval
  • Management and configuration of exception day
  • Display of bin collection routing
  • Bin collection tracking
  • Missing data matching with integration to LLPG data
  • Analytics
  • Mobile Waste Worker (priced separately per device)
  • Routed optimisation functions
  • Route planning and optimisation for waste collection schedules

Each subsequent optimisation process can be completed by the council, subject to appropriate training on the system. The Enterprise Waste Management product includes up to 500 individual optimisations.

The implementation of the Enterprise Waste Module will require additional consulting to ensure that the system is set up to meet the council’s specific requirements.

What existing customers say about the Waste Management module

“We wanted to run the whole process digitally and automate processes where possible. The goal was to fully integrate Southend’s system with Veolia, providing an end-to-end solution. Customers can go online to report a raise of issues against the service, our contract is structured in such a way that the waste provider has specific service levels to respond to. This all happens without needing any back office intervention from the Council.”

Who will benefit?

The Waste Management suite has been designed and developed specifically for UK local authority waste management functions and their selected delivery partners to enable modern and efficient waste collection and management services. It delivers all the required functionality from customer through to the crew in the cab.

Abavus can offer the waste management capabilities as a discreet technology offering for the waste services area; more commonly we are deploying the waste management capabilities as part of a wider enterprise roll out of the My Council Services platform. The great benefit of this approach is that it brings waste management functions into an integrated technology platform that is being used across the entire council and as such offers tremendous economies of scale as part of a full transformation programme.
