ScrapQuest software is designed to help recyclers manage their truck fleet operations.
Rockville, Maryland-based ScrapWare Corp., the developer of ScrapWare software for the recycling industry, has announced a new tool known as ScrapQuest that it says will help recycling companies reduce the costs of their truck fleet operations.
“The recycling industry has long struggled to control expenses associated with excess fuel usage, driver and dispatcher overtime and vehicle maintenance,” says Joseph Floam, president of ScrapWare. “ScrapQuest makes it easy for them to reduce costs by planning more efficient truck routes.”
ScrapQuest is designed to help reduce average travel distance, route planning time and dispatcher hours and to quickly solve complex routing and dispatch problems, the company says. By helping companies make improvements in overall route planning, ScrapQuest is designed to help recycling companies run their truck fleets more efficiently and reduce operational costs.
Unwilling to bear the risks, several large insurers have dropped coverage for truck fleets, ScrapWare says. As it gets harder and costlier to obtain insurance coverage, ScrapQuest offers a way to reduce controllable costs so that insurance is more affordable.
Developed in conjunction with strategic partner RouteSmart, Columbia, Maryland, a leader in vehicle route optimization software technology, ScrapQuest integrates with RouteSmart’s Routing as a Service application. The dispatch module add-on tool is available now for customers running ScrapWareSV2/Cloud. It can also be retrofitted to on-premises versions of ScrapWareSV2 and ScrapWareSV, the company says.
