Description

Thanet District Council is seeking to select an In Cab collection management software and hardware solution which will integrate with the council's Local Land & Property Gazetteer (LLPG). The solution must feedback in real time to provide live reporting on collection outputs, GPS / vehicle location and a communication portal to interact with crews out on their collection rounds and provide live vehicle position monitoring, ability to close down worksheets in cab with live updates back at the service desks.

Wall mounted monitors will be required within the operations rooms for live constant vision of routes and locations of vehicles and collection round completion information. It is our intention for the system to contribute towards a reduction in reported missed bins and the resulting recalls, a reduction in road traffic accidents and lower fuel costs.
