Routeware appoints CEO and executive chairman of board

Routeware, an Austin, Texas-based provider of technology solutions for the waste and recycling industry, has appointed Jeremy Collins as CEO.

Collins joins Routeware from Azuga, a San Jose, California-based software company, where he served as CEO and led the company through its acquisition by Bridgestone. At Routeware, Collins will focus on strengthening the company’s core platforms through its next phase of growth.

“Routeware plays a mission-critical role in helping waste and recycling organizations serve their communities,” Collins says. “In this industry, systems must work every day; routes, fleets, billing and customer service can’t afford disruption. My focus is on protecting the foundation customers rely on and moving faster to deliver practical improvements that make operations safer, simpler and more efficient.” 

Routeware also has appointed Ray Greer as executive chairman of the board. In this role, Greer will work closely with Collins to support execution, customer focus and long-term category leadership.

Greer brings more than 35 years of experience in the technology, supply chain, transportation and logistics sector, including his previous role as chief executive officer of Omnitracs, based in Westlake, Texas. 

“Routeware has deep roots in this industry, and our customers rely on us to support essential services every day,” Greer says. “Jeremy understands this space, the challenges our customers face and the responsibility that comes with running mission-critical systems.

"As Routeware continues to strengthen and invest in its integrated platform across the core operational systems our customers rely on, we are accelerating execution and strengthening the reliability, performance and usability of the platforms—positioning Routeware to lead the category with technology built for real-world operations.”
