Waste & recycling fleet management

    Waste management fleet software for containers and trucks

    One platform for both operating models — press/compactor containers and smart-bin truck collection. Navixy turns sensor data into fill-aware collection with IoT Logic and airtight pickup proof with IoT Query.

    The economics

    Where the money goes in waste management fleets

    Waste collection is the largest line in a waste management business budget, and much of it is spent driving to bins that aren't full yet. The win isn't a fancier truck — it's letting the data decide which stops to make, proving the ones you made, and billing for them accurately.

    Track and run both operating models from one platform

    Waste and recycling fleet management splits into two very different operations. Navixy runs both on one screen — every container and truck, live.

    Containers vs. trucks — one platform underneath

    Model 1
    Stationary press / compactor containers

    Fixed containers report capacity and health; you service them only when they're actually full and know instantly if one is moved.

    • OEM 75% / 90%
    • Power-loss alert
    • GPS asset security
    • Laser fill (add-on)
    Model 2
    Truck-based collection with smart bins

    Trucks collect from sensor-equipped bins, with CAN telemetry, overload warnings and geofence proof of service.

    • Laser fill bins
    • J1939 / CAN + PTO
    • Onboard weight
    • Geofence proof

    Collect only what's full

    Fill-level thresholds turn half-empty stops into skipped stops. On fixed schedules, 30–40% of trips go to under-filled bins (industry).

    Prove every pickup

    GPS alone can't prove a pickup. A PTO event inside the right geofence combined with a driver-submitted, time-stamped photo creates an unambiguous digital record — no disputes, no manual paperwork, and a clear audit trail for billing.

    Read the engine, not guesses

    J1939/CAN streams real fuel consumption, PTO state and fault codes into IoT Logic. Collecting time gets its own idle threshold — so actual working stops are never miscounted as wasted idling.

    How it works

    From raw sensor to decision to report

    The same path for a press-container and a collection truck — from a raw signal to a dashboard your team runs on.

    1. 01

      Ingest

      Fill-level (ultrasonic/laser), OEM capacity signals, GPS, J1939/CAN, passive UHF RFID bin tags (or BLE beacons for zone-level tracking) and onboard weight — device-agnostic across sensors and OEMs.

    2. 02

      Decide — IoT Logic

      Thresholds, dual-trigger service completion, PTO-aware idle, overload and theft rules — plus device outputs, relays and comm-profile control.

    3. 03

      Act

      Instant alerts, driver warnings and container commands, to your team or straight into your own system via API.

    4. 04

      Manage

      Personalized, role-based dashboards built in Dashboard Studio — fill status, routes served, SLA proof, maintenance and utilization.

    5. 05

      Report — IoT Query

      Custom SQL reports and exports for fill, routes, SLA proof, fuel, utilization and billing / e-manifest-style records.

    Field service management

    Run the crew, not just the truck

    Collection is a field operation. Navixy's Field Service Management gives managers real-time control over every driver and every stop — dispatch, proof of service and team chat in one app, X-GPS — without the chaos of calls, spreadsheets and paper forms.

    • Smart job dispatching — auto-assign stops by location, skills and workload; drivers get the next task pushed to their phone, with live status from assigned → on route → completed.
    • Digital proof of service — every stop captured with a photo, e-signature and GPS timestamp, auto-synced to the office on submit, so billing disputes disappear.
    • Built-in team communication — instructions, documents and one-tap broadcasts live in the same app, with full message history and an SOS button — no extra tool.
    Two sensor estates, one ingestion layer

    Containers and trucks — one platform underneath

    Waste fleets run two very different sensor estates. Stationary press and compactor containers expose OEM capacity signals (75%/90% full, power-loss) or accept a retrofitted laser sensor. Collection trucks stream J1939/CAN fuel rate, PTO state, onboard weight and GPS. Navixy ingests both — device-agnostic across 2,500+ types — without per-manufacturer integrations or parallel data pipelines.

    • OEM press-container signals (75%/90% fill, power-loss) direct — or laser sensors retrofitted
    • J1939/CAN from collection trucks: fuel rate, PTO state, RFID / BLE bin tags, onboard weight
    • 2,500+ device and sensor types across both estates on one ingestion layer
    • White-label the whole platform under your own brand

    FAQ

    Straight answers before you switch

    Waste management fleet software is one platform that runs a waste & recycling collection fleet end to end. It ingests fill-level, GPS, CAN bus and weight data from your containers and trucks, applies rules to it with Navixy IoT Logic, and turns it into alerts, proof of service and reports with IoT Query — for both stationary press-containers and truck-based collection.
