Waste technology company Enevo has signed a partnership agreement with asset management firm Yotta to provide waste management software to local authorities in the UK.
The companies said this is to help councils get “added value” both from their infrastructure assets and workforces.
Enevo’s sensor technology solution allows authorities to monitor waste bins around the clock, enabling councils to optimise their collection schedules and then use the data generated to schedule collections, track missed pick-ups and reduce overflows.
“This process enables councils to make significant efficiency and resource savings,” according to Enevo.
Following the partnership with Yotta, local authorities will be able to use Yotta’s connected asset management software, Alloy, to visualise and share high-quality data from the Enevo solutions via an application programming interface (API), enabling them to make more efficient use of their operational crews and back office resource.
The company said this will enable councils to make more efficient use of their operational crews.
Yotta added that “ease of access” to the data from the Enevo system that Alloy provides will also drive “enhanced collaboration and more efficient decision-making” across local authorities.
‘Shake up’
Anique Bravenboer, alliance manager at Yotta, said: “We were able to quickly see that the two products complement each other well and that by working together we could achieve more than if we were operating in isolation.
“We are both technology disruptors in an industry that has historically been conservative”
“We are both technology disruptors in an industry that has historically been conservative but we believe this partnership has the potential to shake up the whole sector. Even our customers were approaching us unprompted to ask if we were doing business with Enevo because the synergy between our businesses was so clear.”
Andy Crofts, director of business development at Enevo, added: “This partnership makes complete sense on every level. We both believe in the concept of ‘data to decisions’ and by collaborating we are able to deliver fully on this vision.
“By having a live feed of data from our solution into Yotta’s Alloy, customers will not only be able to optimise resources but also carry out their workforce optimisation, route planning and asset management much more efficiently.”
“Between Yotta and ourselves, we also have a vast amount of experience in the waste world, and being able to bring that combined experience to market alongside the technologies we deliver will allow us to provide a fully rounded package to help take local authorities to the next level of resource efficiencies.”
