Why on demand?
Living in a digital age and in an age where customers expect instant responses, it becomes increasingly important to adapt your business processes accordingly. One of the key answers to this challenge is agile route optimization. Implementing this in your business will not only increase its level of customer service levels and responsiveness, it will also dramatically decrease costs and increase earnings.
In the traditional world of waste collection and transportation, giving customer better service levels, allowing for last minute changes, softening up on fixed collection frequencies, removing order cut-off time, and in general offering more flexibility to your customers, will have huge positive cost implications. In this article, we will give examples of how to turn increasing customer demands into your competitive advantage.
