Waste Management Software

Route planning and optimization for municipal and commercial waste collection – from annual master plans to today's bins

Get a Free Demo

Mappost is waste collection route optimization software used by municipalities and private operators across Europe. It plans emptying routes for every fraction – residual, paper, bio, glass, commercial – respecting collection frequencies, time windows, vehicle types and load capacities, and keeps plans optimal as your city and contracts change.

Every container stand is a map object with its own rules: exact container location and the vehicle stopping point, access restrictions like gate codes and keys, pull distance, side of the street, permitted vehicle types. Mappost plans with road-network overrides where waste trucks may drive (and cars may not), multi-compartment vehicles, compression factors, and the disposal site each fraction must reach.

Plan Next Year’s Master Routes and Re-Plan Today’s Routes

Build master route plans for a quarter, a season or a year and simulate plan variants before committing: new districts, a changed fleet, different emptying intervals. During the day, Mappost re-optimizes for breakdowns, missed bins and urgent ad hoc orders — always minimizing total cost across time, distance and your other tangible and intangible cost factors, with workload equalization across crews as an option.

Key Features for Waste Collection Route Planning

Route optimization of all scheduled collection based on active contracts, collection frequencies, and real-life business constraints

Exact container locations and separate vehicle stopping points, with photos and approach instructions recorded by field workers

Automatic recalculation of routes for unplanned trips to landfill, sorting stations or recycling plants – and for urgent ad hoc emptyings

Task assignment, navigation and two-tap status reporting via the Mappost driver app (Android, offline-capable) – any substitute driver can run any route on day one

Real-time digital fleet tracking with planned-vs-actual route comparison (GPS)

Integrations with your business systems: ERP and billing, CRM, container identification (RFID/chip), weighbridge, fill-level sensors and IoT

Additional information for drivers: gate codes and keys, notes, extra volumes to be collected, time windows, customer notes and many more

A problem catalog for recording deviations at each collection point in two taps (e.g. blocked access, unleashed dogs or missing bins) – with photo and comment

Reports and statistics regarding:

Route performance: km per tour, emptyings per tour, time per tour, volume per tour

The emptying of containers – including identification (RFID) data where available

Task fulfillment statuses in real time

Deviations from the plan – planned vs. actually driven routes

Discover advanced features for data-driven waste operations

Scheduled collection and order-driven work in one system. Alongside regular emptying routes, Mappost dispatches the order-driven side of waste operations: container deliveries, exchanges and retrievals, bulky waste pickups, and urgent ad hoc emptyings. Orders from customer service, your ERP or a customer portal flow straight into planning and join the route on the day it runs – with deadlines flagged, and signals such as customer requests or sensor data able to trigger an ad hoc order automatically.

Simulation and scenario planning. Test what-if variants safely beside live operations: a new district, fewer vehicles, changed emptying intervals, an electric fleet. Compare variants by kilometres, hours, vehicles and cost – then promote the winner to production.

Full transparency for dispatchers and management. Live map of all routes, warnings on delays, drag-and-drop corrections with instant impact on distance and duration, and KPI dashboards – emptyings, volumes, kilometres – exportable to Excel or your BI tool via API.

What Should You Expect When Working With Us?

Attention to your needs

We start by deep-diving into your operation: fractions and frequencies, fleet and crews, container data quality, billing and contract systems, and how dispatchers, drivers and customer service actually work today. We assess your waste collection flow from every perspective and identify improvements – then agree on the best solution based on our waste logistics experience.

A free demo project

Once we have your data, we prepare a proof-of-concept: we analyze and optimize up to 4 of your real routes and discuss the results with you – concrete kilometres, hours and vehicles – so you know the efficiency potential before you invest.

A customized implementation plan

We develop an implementation plan matched to your organization's pace and absorption capacity: typically a pilot area or a few vehicles first, adjustments with your team, then a stepwise rollout district by district – without disrupting ongoing collection.

Collaboration with your employees

Employee acceptance decides success. Our team offers shadow support – field trips on the trucks, sessions with dispatchers, train-the-trainer programs – and supports a structured change process with your workforce, so drivers and planners trust the system rather than work around it.

Bespoke solutions

We adapt Mappost to your specifics: your route numbering conventions, fraction standards, fee and billing integration (ERP/SAP-type systems), container identification, weighbridges, data warehouses. You get a secure, GDPR-compliant solution that digitizes real operations with complete control over ongoing processes.

Outstanding support

After go-live we stay: SLA-based support with defined response times, expert consultations, regular releases without downtime, and continuous development of the system throughout the contract – as a long-term partner, not a one-time vendor.
