Order-based Waste Collection with Jewel

Order-based waste collection refers to waste services that are carried out in response to specific requests, such as bulky waste pickups, extra collections, or special assignments outside regular collection rounds. It is a vital task for local authorities and contractors, as it directly affects service responsiveness, resident satisfaction, and operational efficiency.

Jewel supports order-based waste collection with smart, user-friendly software that brings structure and control to these ad hoc activities. Tasks are planned and assigned digitally, progress is visible in real time, and both office and field teams work with the same up-to-date information. By combining real-time insight, clear task planning, and continuous process optimisation, Jewel helps organisations manage daily order-based collections efficiently and reliably.

What Software is used in Waste Mangement?

Waste management software is used to plan, track, and manage the collection, transportation, and processing of waste. It helps organisations organise routes, monitor execution, and maintain control over daily operations.

Jewel’s software supports order-based collection workflows with practical planning tools, mobile apps for drivers, and dashboards that provide real-time status updates. Planners can schedule and adjust collection orders, drivers receive clear digital work orders on their tablets, and managers gain live insight into progress, exceptions, and completed jobs. This ensures order-based waste collections are carried out efficiently, reliably, and with full operational visibility.

Unpredictable demand and fluctuating daily workloads

Difficulty prioritising and scheduling requests efficiently

Orders that involve special or potentially hazardous materials, requiring extra care and clear instructions

Limited real-time visibility into task status and progress

Increased need for proof of completion, documentation, and traceability

Risk of missed or delayed collections due to manual coordination

High administrative effort to track orders, changes, and completion

Dependence on individual knowledge when reallocating work or drivers

Jewel brings planning, execution, and insight together in one easy-to-use platform. Tasks are planned digitally and adjusted in real time, while drivers work with clear mobile instructions that reduce errors and training time. Live dashboards give planners and managers immediate insight into progress, exceptions, and completed work. By centralising data and workflows, Jewel reduces dependency on individual knowledge, improves collaboration, and enables reliable reporting on performance and sustainability.
