Managers need to plan for what actually happens on the ground, not what should happen.
Until now, the options for understanding set out and performance have been limited to expensive hardware solutions, unreliable manual audits, or small-scale studies that don't give the full picture.
Voom delivers 100% coverage at a fraction of the cost of traditional approaches, with no capital expenditure required.
| Approach | How It Works | Limitations | Typical Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual Audit | Human observation of a sample of collections from which extrapolations are made | Sample only, time consuming, costly to repeat | £20–40k |
| In-Cab | In-cab technology for drivers to manually confirm collections from the field | Relies on manual entry, records by exception, project and system costs | £250k+ |
| RFID | Chips in bins read by RFID readers fitted to lifting gear, often with dynamic weighing | Significant capital outlay, system maintenance, requires 100% rollout | £1m+ |
| Voom | Uses existing hardware and data sources to automate verification and geocoding of every collection | No capex, no manual intervention, quick and easy to replicate, 100% coverage | c. £23k |
ClearSight AI is an advanced, AI-powered platform designed to optimise efficiency in waste management. It provides real-time, data-driven insights, enabling smarter resource allocation, automated processes, and improved operational performance.
Every bin collection is geotagged, with key data like waste type, round identifier, weight, and timestamp. The interactive portal enables you to analyse and explore this data down to street-level detail.
RoundBalance takes the ground-truth data captured by ClearSight AI and uses it to enable continual optimisation of collection rounds.
Unlike traditional route modelling that tells you what should happen, RoundBalance builds from the ground up using what actually happens: real collection data, real timings, real weights. This means your round planning is based on operational reality, not theoretical models.
The Demographic Tool adds essential community context to your operational data. By overlaying set out and performance data with demographic information, you can understand why set out varies across your area, not just where.
This enables targeted communications, evidence-based engagement strategies, and informed social value initiatives. The study cost includes integration of your data into the Demographic Tool with one year of portal access.
Beyond operational insights, Voom data drives value across your organisation.
Focus engagement activities precisely where they will have the greatest impact on set out and recycling rates.
Better set out data leads to improved recycling rates and reduced residual waste disposal costs.
Optimised rounds and improved recycling rates contribute directly to reduced carbon emissions across your operations.
Set out data and targeted communications help maximise Extended Producer Responsibility outcomes.
