Wastequip partners with Compology to add interactive calculator

The Charlotte-based equipment company Wastequip, as part of its exclusive partnership with the San Francisco-based software firm Compology, has added an interactive calculator to its website to illustrate the additional revenue waste haulers can realize by using the Compology roll-off container management solution, which provides accurate, real-time container monitoring.

The interactive calculator, available at www.wastequip.com/compology/compology-calculator, allows users to enter the number of roll-off trucks they run daily along with their average revenue per haul. Haulers can view the results if they use the Compology container management solution and if they do not use the solution.

According to Wastequip, the calculator assumes that waste haulers can reduce the number of days on site per container by one day, allowing the hauler to redeploy the container to another customer to generate additional revenue. All assumptions made as part of the revenue calculations are detailed within the website.

The Compology system works by using GPS-enabled sensors with cameras that allow real-time location and fullness monitoring from a web-based dashboard, which allows haulers to manage their roll-off container inventory. Using this information, haulers can reduce the number of lost or stolen containers and improve customer service by proactively scheduling pickups when needed rather than on a set schedule. Haulers benefit through reduced equipment purchases and greater revenues from improved asset management and deployment.

“Wastequip is excited to provide this new calculator to help haulers quickly understand the financial benefits of using Compology’s roll-off container management solution,” says Kirk Warren, director of product management for Wastequip’s steel division. “As the waste industry continues to evolve and focus on more efficient and effective methods of tracking and deploying containers and other assets, we’re excited to be able to offer a solution for our customers.”
