Technologies used
About the project
Traditional waste collection processes often rely on manual coordination, paper-based records, and limited communication between residents and collection teams. This can result in delayed pickups, inefficient workforce allocation, and reduced visibility into service operations. The Wasatch Waste Management System was developed to digitize the entire waste collection workflow. Residents can submit pickup requests, monitor request status in real time, and receive service updates, while field employees access assigned jobs, navigate to collection locations, and confirm completed pickups directly from the mobile application. Administrators manage service areas, assign workloads, monitor operational performance, and maintain resident service records from a centralized system, enabling more efficient and transparent waste management operations.
Key highlights
- Residents securely register their households and submit waste collection requests through an intuitive mobile interface
- Track pickup progress in real time from request submission through completion
- Employees receive assigned pickup requests directly within the mobile application
- View daily schedules, manage assigned tasks, and update job progress from the field
- Mark completed collections instantly, updating request status in real time
- Assign employees, balance workloads, and monitor field operations from a centralized dashboard
- Push notifications keep residents and employees synchronized throughout the collection process
The challenge
Manual request handling and paperwork
Limited visibility into pickup status
Inefficient workforce scheduling
Delayed communication between residents and field teams
Difficulty tracking employee productivity
Inconsistent service history management
Lack of real-time operational reporting
Our solution
The Wasatch Waste Management System delivers a centralized digital platform that connects residents, field employees, and administrators within a unified ecosystem. Residents can register their households, submit waste pickup requests, and receive live status updates throughout the collection process. Employees access assigned tasks, navigate to service locations, update job progress, and complete pickups directly from the field. Administrators oversee workforce operations, allocate service areas, manage workloads, and monitor performance through centralized dashboards. Real-time notifications ensure all stakeholders remain informed throughout every stage of the service lifecycle.
