Ragn-Sells partners with AMCS to optimize collections

Intelligent fleet optimization includes route planning module to save on costs and environment.


Swedish recycling firm Ragn-Sells has selected AMCS Group, Limerick, Ireland, a leading supplier of integrated software and vehicle technology for the waste and recycling industry, as their logistics and transport planning partner to optimize commercial, construction and hazardous waste collections. AMCS and Ragn-Sells are working together on implementing AMCS’s fleet management solution at Ragn-Sells, the company says in a news release.

“After a thorough investigation of several transport optimization software vendors, AMCS’s solution proved to be the most fitting for Ragn-Sells operational needs”, says Vidar Svenning Olsen, head of group function operations at Ragn-Sells.

He adds, “Waste handling and transportation requires an extended way of planning compared to ordinary distribution and together with a smooth and user-friendly interface, we are happy to partner up with AMCS for the future.”

Ragn-Sells has an extensive logistics operation and network in place with ample opportunity for optimization, which would not only benefit the company in cutting costs, but more importantly would benefit the environment by reducing its carbon footprint, the release says.

The chosen AMCS solution consists of a route planning module for pre-execution master route optimization, an operational planning module for dynamic route optimization and route maintenance, ad-hoc orders and real-time optimization with live monitoring, as well as estimated time of arrival calculations. The solution also contains several smaller add-on components that will provide additional capabilities, including a mobile solution for drivers, a web portal for the transporters and a live GPS tracking portal.

“AMCS is excited to be working with Ragn-Sells towards a more efficient future with digital transformation and environmental friendliness,” remarks Lasse Jiborn, head of intelligent optimization at AMCS. “It’s crucial that major players, such as Ragn-Sells, lead the way in a waste management industry that have shown to be reluctant in the face of change.”
