Routeware overview

What is Routeware?

Routeware has been digitally transforming the waste and recycling industry for over 20 years. Our mission is to help waste and recycling leaders use technology to delight customers, improve operations, and protect our planet.

We work with smart cities and high-performance haulers to power their digital transformation strategies, enabling them to boost productivity, increase safety, enhance customer service, and improve environmental outcomes.

Routeware is a leading provider of cloud-based logistics and fleet management solutions for the waste and recycling sector that allows users to take control of their fleet’s productivity, as well as for cities to become smart and interconnected. The cloud-based solution helps users reduce costs, increase efficiency, improve the safety of their operations and analyze data in order to make smarter business decisions.

Built for global business, Routeware offers features such as GPS tracking and route optimization, integration with third party systems, billing and payments and so much more. All user data is stored on the cloud for easy access anytime and anywhere.

Routeware is a cloud-based fleet management solution that offers tools for work order management, route planning and driver performance tracking. Key features include a dashboard, fork sensors, trip inspections and hardware integrations for timeclocks and scales.

Routeware can also be integrated with tablets that can be installed in vehicles to capture details about driver performance, pickup times, breaks or pauses during routes and more. Users can also configure a routing system so that route updates can be shared with drivers in real time.

Routeware’s control center lets users manage back-office operations such as creating and dispatching work orders, route tracking, storing service histories and vehicle tracking. The solution offers a heat map functionality that provides users with a real-time dashboard to track driver location and activities. Users can also send alerts to staff if drivers miss their target.
