Frequently asked questions
How does PIN work?
Tracking devices are fitted to skips & vehicles. From this point forward, every movement, location visit & service is automatically captured. Our software processes the data into maps, charts & reports that provide real-time accurate visibility along with alerts & analytics that pinpoint inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement.
How quickly can I be up & running?
This depends on the size of your fleet and geographical footprint. We have tracked up to 800 skips in a week and typically will seek to deliver your project within 2-3 weeks.
This includes the tracking of the skips, the configuration on your dedicated software platform, and user training.
How does PIN locate my skips?
We work with you to extract a download of skip locations in your system. We understand that this data will only be partially accurate.
We visit every site that your system believes a skip is located and expect to capture 85% of your total fleet in the first visit.
We then monitor the other sites that your vehicles are visiting to identify and capture the skips that are not visible on your system.
We allow 2 return visits to capture 100% of your skip inventory.
What problem does PIN solve?
Our data shows that Waste & recycling companies don’t know how many skips they have or where they are located. Around 40% of skips stay on site too long to be profitable. This visibility challenge exists in every operation we have seen and has a profound impact on business and operational performance.
