AMCS signs software deal with ALBA Group

AMCS,  a supplier of software and vehicle technology, headquartered in Limerick, Ireland, has signed an agreement with the ALBA Group, a recycling company based in Germany, to install its Fleet Planner and Mobile product in the recycling company’s fleet in Germany. AMCS says it will replace ALBA’s existing manual systems with the updated software.

The software package will include operations software, mobile devices for drivers and on-board hardware for more than 600 vehicles. It will fully integrate with the ALBA Group’s SAP system.

By installing the new software, AMCS notes that ALBA will be able to unlock a number of commercial and environmental benefits, which will reduce emissions, mileage and driving time. The ability to increase the productivity of the fleet will also optimise its size, ensuring every vehicle is operating at full capacity. There will also be significant improvements in administration.

AMCS adds that planning time can be cut by anywhere from 60-90% and reductions in the number of missed lifts will help to improve service levels and reduce the volume of queries and complaints received.

Matthias Redeker, ALBA’s head of Logistics Segment Waste and Metals, says, “We are constantly looking for ways to operate more efficiently and improve the quality of the service we provide. The automation of our route planning will enable us control our costs, further reduce our environmental impact and enhance our customers’ experience.”

“AMCS offers the most complete solution in the current market together with built-in integration for our other business systems. From the outset we have had a very positive relationship with the AMCS team, and we look forward to rolling the system out across our fleet and back-office.”

Martijn Schimmer, AMCS’ regional manager for Germany and the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg) countries, says, “ALBA Group is one of the world’s leading recycling and environmental services companies as well as raw material providers. The trial work we undertook with ALBA Group prior to signing the contract indicated that it will be possible to improve efficiency in their skip fleet operation by anything from 10-25%. We look forward to working with the ALBA team to mobilise the new system and start to realise the commercial and environmental benefits that it is capable of delivering.”
