Enevo
Enevo is a pioneer in data analytics, container asset management, and logistics software for the waste and recycling industry. Their patented IoT waste sensor sits inside waste containers, measuring fill levels and monitoring collections. Sensor data is communicated to Enevo's proprietary analytics software, developing custom collection schedules and routes that match actual waste behavior. Resulting routes and schedules drive the fewest number of miles while avoiding container overflow. This approach optimizes existing tools and assets, decreases costs, increases operational efficiency, and reduces carbon emissions.
