Waste collection software for Europe

One connected platform for European waste operators.

smart!matics NG connects route planning and live optimisation, dispatch, drivers, vehicles, containers and operational records. It supports commercial and municipal waste services, including country-specific workflows within one shared system.

FCC Environment CEE, which operates in seven countries, has chosen smart!matics NG as its group platform.

Built for waste operations

smart!matics NG: one platform for two operating models.

Commercial and municipal waste services follow different routines. smart!matics NG supports both on the same technical foundation.

Commercial & industrial waste operators

Manage container movements, collection orders, weighing data and subcontractors with a live view of daily operations.

  • Container logistics
  • Dynamic orders
  • Weighing data
  • Fill-level services
Explore commercial waste operations

Municipalities & public service providers

Plan recurring collection services, guide drivers, respond to disruptions and document each completed activity.

  • Household waste
  • Bulky waste
  • Street cleaning
  • Winter services
Explore municipal waste services
Control throughout the day

Keep control when the plan changes.

A missed collection, vehicle breakdown or urgent job can disrupt a full day. smart!matics NG gives dispatchers a live view of the operation and lets them adjust routes and assignments from one system.

Plan around real operating constraints

Build fixed, recurring and on-demand routes around vehicle capacity, service times, opening hours and collection rules.

Keep dispatch and drivers in sync

Send new jobs, route changes and instructions directly to the driver app. Dispatch sees progress and exceptions as they occur.

Capture the record once

Photos, weights, signatures, exceptions and completed activities are recorded in the field and available to the office straight away.

Use data from vehicles and equipment

Connect fill levels, weighing systems, vehicle data and mounted equipment to the workflows that depend on them.

One operational workflow

From route planning to completed service.

01
Plan

Create recurring, dynamic and on-demand routes using the constraints that matter in daily waste collection.

02
Dispatch

Assign work to vehicles, drivers or subcontractors and adjust the plan when conditions change.

03
Execute

Guide drivers through each route, share instructions and record activities directly in the vehicle or on site.

04
Review

Compare planned and actual operations, check exceptions and use the data for the next planning cycle.

smart!matics NG

The core tools for day-to-day waste operations.

01

Route planning & live optimisation

Plan recurring and dynamic routes, include operational constraints and reassign work while routes are active.

02

Mobile order management

Split complex orders into workable stages, send them to the field and track their status in real time.

03

Driver app & guided navigation

Give drivers route guidance, job details, local instructions and a direct line to dispatch in one app.

04

Container & asset management

Track locations, movements, standing times, condition and service history across the container fleet.

05

Vehicle, sensor & weighing data

Bring vehicle data, fill levels, weighing information and equipment activity into the operational process.

06

Documentation & reporting

Store photos, signatures, weights, exceptions and completed services against the relevant job or route.

Commercial & industrial waste

Manage every container movement and collection order.

Commercial waste operations combine planned services with urgent jobs, different container types and changing vehicle capacity. smart!matics NG brings the order, container, route and field record together.

  • Container movements Plan and track container delivery, exchange and collection. Locations, standing times and condition remain visible throughout the asset history.
  • Complex orders Split an order across vehicles or days while keeping the full job and its current status visible to dispatch.
  • Weighing and service records Transfer weighing data into the process and keep digital service records ready for the next administrative step.
  • Fill levels and exceptions Trigger work from fill-level data and document overfilled or incorrectly filled containers with photos and notes.
  • Dynamic routing Add urgent jobs to active routes and account for collection type, vehicle capacity, weight and container handling rules.
Municipal waste services

Turn local route knowledge into a repeatable service.

Municipal collection depends on recurring routes, local driving knowledge and clear records for missed or completed services. smart!matics NG keeps that information available to dispatch and drivers.

  • Route and area planning Build new service areas from address or stop data, compare route scenarios and estimate the vehicles and working time required.
  • Guided municipal routes Store street-specific instructions and guide drivers along established collection sequences, including staff who do not know the area.
  • Missed collections and bulky waste Add missed collections or urgent bulky-waste jobs to active routes and send the updated order directly to the driver.
  • Street cleaning and winter services Record activity from sweepers, spreaders and other mounted equipment for operational review and service evidence.
  • Field documentation Capture photos, notes and completed activities on site so the office can answer queries with the full service record.

Proven processes, configured for your operation

Start with waste workflows that already work.

smart!matics NG includes preconfigured processes for commercial and municipal waste collection. Your project starts with structures developed through real waste operations, rather than an empty system.

Configure operational workflows, mobile steps and system connections for individual countries or business units. The platform stays consistent while each operation keeps the process details it needs.

  • Preconfigured commercial and municipal processes
  • Country-specific workflow configuration
  • Adjustments possible during live operation
