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. Map Business Online 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.

Map Business Online 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 Map Business Online

Map Business Online 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. Map Business Online 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.
