About PIN

PIN was founded in 2018 to solve the problem of skip and operational visibility in the waste & recycling industry. Founders Paul Byrne and Chris Strutt had built successful careers in the transport & logistics sector, specialising in leveraging wireless technology to track and control assets. An approach by a leading UK waste management business acted as the catalyst to understand the scale and impact of the problem, alongside the emerging technology that could solve it. Paul and Chris left the safety of their corporate careers and founded PIN the following day.

Our data shows that waste management operators don’t know how many skips they have, where up to half of them are located, or how long they have been on site with customers. As a result, the UK industry spends £100 million each year buying skips it shouldn’t need and misses out on large-scale revenues from underperforming contracts. Operational efficiency and customer service are also compromised.

The PIN system doesn’t just track skips. It digitises the end-to-end collection process, automatically capturing every journey, job, and site visit, as well as every movement of each skip and vehicle. Analytics and alerts identify inefficiencies and opportunities, enabling customers to make better decisions to improve overall performance. Our system talks your language and wraps around your operational process. PIN is proven to increase sales, reduce costs, improve service to customers, and reduce carbon emissions.

We continue to develop the system, working with our customers on new features, integrations, and enhancements to support their digital journey. We are extremely proud of the work we have put in and the results we’ve generated for industry leaders. Six years down the line, we are working with some of the leading names in waste management, including Enva, Biffa, Sims Metal, Beauparc, Powerday, NWH, and Cireco. We aim to continue adding to this list, revolutionising the industry with our digital tracking system for skip operations.
