Customer Mapping Software for Waste Management Businesses
Waste management and recycling companies provide a valuable service to homes and businesses. Operators in this competitive sector must be able to make the most of thin profit margins without compromising their ability to deliver on their promises and keep customers satisfied.
Business Mapping software is an increasingly critical tool for recyclers and related businesses. MapBusinessOnline makes it easy for waste management businesses to plot addresses on a map. This in turn provides the perspective you need to make smarter decisions and keep overhead expenses to a minimum. Here’s how.
Customer Mapping for Waste Management Companies
For recycling and waste management companies, fuel and fleet maintenance costs represent two of the most significant overhead expenses. Any improvements you can make in these areas contribute to a more stable and profitable business.
MapBusinessOnline can be used to visualize your coverage areas and create more efficient routes for your trucks. The ability to plot addresses on a map lets you see where your customers are and what they need on a week-by-week basis. With business mapping, you can optimize delivery routes and make changes on-the-fly that reduce operational inefficiencies.
This has several benefits from a business standpoint:
- Less vehicle idling, less time spent in traffic and lower overall fuel use
- Less wear and tear on your fleet and, as a result, improved uptime and fewer maintenance expenses
- Fewer missed pickups, improved on-time performance and better overall customer satisfaction
- Routing decisions should take customer complaints into account
Territory Mapping with MapBusinessOnline
MapBusinessOnline is a powerful tool that does more than just plot addresses on a map. Recycling and waste management companies can also use it to create custom-defined sales and service territories. Area mapping allows managers to see where their customers and competitors are and assign resources accordingly. MapBusinessOnline provide Census data and estimated projections, which, along with internal sales data, can augment your existing business intelligence with accurate demographic analysis.
Benefits of sales and customer mapping for waste management companies include improved scheduling, greater accountability and the ability to tailor marketing initiatives accordingly. Growing businesses can use this data to explore opportunities for expansion and determine where an investment in new facilities or additional trucks is likely to yield the best results.

Learn How Our Customers are Succeeding with MapBusinessOnline
"We used MapPoint for years and desperately needed a replacement solution. This one fits the bill and is actually much better in many ways. Especially in a team environment. We do logistics with routing technicians to jobs for roll outs. This helps our team working thousands of sites over multi month projects. Also, easy to manage licenses for users.
Example business case would be taking 3000 locations, and planning how you will have multiple different technicians visit an area or region of these locations over 3 months. Each visit will take x amount of time. They only work certain hours of the day, and you have to plan in drive time, so the day actually makes sense and the route is efficient."
