Resource Planning System for HWRCs

For HWRC Operations

Running a HWRC network is hard. Demand shifts by day, season, site and waste stream, yet day-to-day decisions are still made manually with limited data to support them. Recycling rates, carbon targets, service levels and operating costs all compete for priority with no system to balance them. The result is inefficient transport, under-utilised vehicles and resources in the wrong place at the wrong time, driving up cost and carbon whilst impacting service delivery.

Our AI-enabled platform tracks your operations, monitors activity and service levels, predicts demand and models the optimal transport plan – providing you with the tools to transform performance and achieve your sustainability goals.

The Problem

HWRCs & Resource Planning – An Impossible Balancing Act.

Unpredictable Demand

Day of the week, seasonality, public holidays, weather, other...

Poor data

Operations planned and delivered manually Limited data available to support decision making

Competing priorities

Recycling rates, carbon emissions, customer service, operating costs

TRANSPORT IS INEFFICIENT

Under-utilised vehicles driving too many miles Containers in the wrong place to service demand High cost & carbon impact

Service disruption

Unexpected site closures due to unplanned container movements Service outages arising from full containers, impacting recycling rates

Monitoring every job, every container, service outages and site closures.
Measuring transport productivity, utilisation and container availability.
Uncovering the trends, identifying the inefficiencies and improvement opportunities to transform how you run your operations.

TRANSFORM

AI-enabled demand forecasting predicts demand by site, day and waste stream. Factoring in seasonality, weather and public holidays. The transport planner models the optimal vehicle and driver schedule to meet demand, balancing capacity across the network, whilst improving service levels, reducing carbon and transport costs.

Optimise transport & resources

Matching capacity to demand across the network, reducing mileage, fuel, carbon, labour costs and unnecessary vehicle movements

Lower costs

Reducing transport spend, labour, fuel consumption and unnecessary operational activity across the network

Improve service delivery

Keeping containers, vehicles and resources in the right place at the right time, and responding proactively to changing demand

Increase operational efficiency

Make data-driven decisions, improving productivity and optimising the use of vehicles, containers and capacity

Manage assets & containers

Optimising deployment, improving utilisation, extending container life and reducing replacement and maintenance costs

Achieve sustainability goals

Fewer miles travelled, improved availability and recycling rates at sites

Angus Council Case Study

We have been working with Angus Council since 2022, and have worked closely with them to build this for the industry.

Analysis revealed seasonal patterns, day-of-week rhythms, and a structural mismatch between flexing demand and a flat year-round transport capacity.

These insights became the foundation of a new AI-driven planning model – one that forecasts daily service demand, recommends the vehicle capacity needed to meet it, and learns continuously over time. When tested against real operations, it didn’t just suggest efficiencies were possible. It mapped the path.

Modelling six optimisation scenarios, 1m+ options, efficiencies of up to 30% and £150,000 cost savings.

A Resource Planning System purpose-built for HWRCs, designed to help any local authority or operator plan smarter, run leaner, and respond faster.
