“RouteSmart is ideal for waste & winter maintenance clients as it is a true “high density” solution that enables users to manipulate individual property data, such as container type and number, as well as street parameters.”
“I see RouteSmart as a great tool to aid in those preventative maintenance programs. You could take the same methodology and apply it to water valves, sanitary sewer manholes, anything that you have high volume of within your infrastructure. We want to move more down that road.”
"Prior to using Navigator, we didn’t know how the drivers were doing on their routes. It was just them saying the routes were done, so it’s definitely increased accountability."'
“We had heard about automated routing software and how it was being used by other municipalities.”
“Our routes varied in shape, size and length, and most were noncontiguous. It just wasn’t logical – or the smartest use of our limited resources.”
“It is a great tool, because I think it would be a lot faster obviously than by someone doing it by hand, setting something up in this little text file, and then loading that text file into the handheld.”
“There was a lot of wasted driving, a lot of wasted walking, a lot of wasted time just going to different towns to read our meters. We had a lot of pieces of routes all over the place so once RouteSmart put that together the savings fell into our laps."
“We had a chance here to really show off what RouteSmart could do in terms of route efficiency, balanced billing and resource management, and how quickly we could bring the two companies’ operations together.”
“It was a nice tool that was easy to use. That ease made our work a lot easier to accomplish.”
"Our work on stage one is almost complete. We have handed over the routes to all of the seven districts and in the future the Northampton Waste Partnership, who have acquired a RouteSmart licence and associated ESRI® ArcGIS software, will update them. Daventry has already trialled the routes and in fact implemented them in August. The other councils are at various stages of consideration, approval and implementation."
"OS MasterMap ITN Layer and RRI has made it possible for us to meet our challenges of increasing efficiency, planning for growth, reducing landfill. In Daventry alone we are on target to achieve savings of around £100 000 per year, with much greater savings expected for the whole county."
“RouteSmart has delivered what we expected, and more. We used the RouteSmart tool to help out where we never thought it initially could be beneficial. It has provided other chances to analyze our opportunities and make some decisions.”
“I think it was key to get stakeholders in other parts of the business involved to move forward because if you don’t have everyone’s buy-in it can cause gaps and inefficiencies in the process.”
“We found that RouteSmart fits better into our environment. We have worked with Esri, and RouteSmart is just an add-on to our GIS family, so it was logical and financially much more interesting for us.”
“RouteSmart has been instrumental in the set-up of the E2E project at Whistl and in helping to facilitate the creation of postal delivery routes with specific service targets.”
