Collect More.
Drive Less. Comply Effortlessly.
Waste and recycling operations run on tight margins, strict compliance timelines, and the constant pressure to do more with the same number of vehicles. Fleetbase gives waste operators intelligent route optimization, container tracking, compliance reporting, and real-time fleet visibility — all on open-source infrastructure you own and control.
The old way
The operational pressures waste operators face every day
Smarter waste operations from first collection to compliance report
Every vehicle, every container, every collection — visible and optimized.
Intelligent Collection Route Optimization
Stop running yesterday's routes in today's conditions. Fleetbase dynamically optimizes collection routes based on container fill levels, traffic, vehicle capacity, and collection time windows — reducing fuel consumption and increasing collections per shift.
- Dynamic route recalculation based on real-time data inputs
- Vehicle capacity and weight constraint modelling
- Multi-vehicle coordination to prevent route overlap and missed zones
Container & Asset Tracking
Know where every container, skip, and bin is at any point in time. Track collection status, flag overflows before they become complaints, and manage container placement and retrieval from a single operations dashboard.
- Container lifecycle tracking from placement to retrieval
- Fill-level sensor integration via API for predictive collection
- Customer-facing container status portal for business clients
Compliance & Environmental Reporting
Generate the reports your regulators require — waste tonnage by type, collection frequency, disposal facility manifests, and diversion rates — automatically from your operational data. Audit season becomes a non-event.
- Pre-built report templates for common waste regulation frameworks
- Automated scheduled reporting to regulators and internal stakeholders
- Digital waste transfer notes and disposal manifests
Fleet Maintenance & Vehicle Health
Waste vehicles take a beating. Track service history, schedule preventive maintenance, manage tyre and component wear, and log driver fault reports — keeping your fleet roadworthy and your compliance documentation clean.
- Preventive maintenance scheduling based on mileage and date
- Driver fault and defect reporting via the Navigator mobile app
- Vehicle inspection checklists with photo evidence
Customer Notification & Collection Alerts
Reduce customer complaints with proactive communication. Notify business and residential customers when their collection is scheduled, when it's running behind, and when it's completed — automatically.
- Automated collection day reminders for business clients
- Real-time delay notifications with rescheduling options
- Collection completion confirmation with timestamp and GPS data
Operations Analytics & KPI Dashboards
Track the KPIs that determine whether your operation is profitable: cost-per-collection, fuel cost per route, vehicle utilization, and diversion rates. Build custom dashboards for operations, finance, and sustainability reporting.
- Cost-per-collection and cost-per-tonne broken down by vehicle and zone
- Diversion rate and recycling performance for sustainability reporting
- Route efficiency trending to catch degradation early
More built-in, out of the box
Every feature your team needs, without the integrations tax.
“We reduced our daily driven distance by 18% in the first month and our compliance reporting now takes hours instead of days. Fleetbase paid for itself inside 60 days.”
Common questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Can Fleetbase integrate with container fill-level sensor systems?
Yes. The API supports integration with IoT sensor platforms to ingest fill-level data, which can be used to trigger dynamic collection scheduling and route updates.
Does Fleetbase generate waste transfer notes and disposal manifests?
Yes. Digital waste transfer notes and disposal facility manifests can be generated from delivery records and exported in the formats required by local regulatory bodies.
Can we manage both municipal and commercial collection operations in one account?
Yes. Multiple service types, client categories, and collection frequencies can all be managed in one Fleetbase account with separate dashboards and reporting per client type.
How does the compliance reporting work?
All operational data — tonnage, collection times, vehicle logs, disposal records — is captured automatically. Pre-built report templates generate the submissions your regulators need, on a schedule you define.
Can drivers report vehicle defects and maintenance issues from the field?
Yes. The Navigator driver app includes a defect reporting workflow where drivers can log issues with photos and descriptions directly from their vehicle.
