Spectacular cost savings and highly improved customer service
AES is a leading provider of waste management and recycling services in Ireland. The collection routes used to be planned by the drivers, resulting in inefficient routes, missed bins and dissatisfied customers. AES decided to buy AMCS' Route Planner. Transport optimisation is performed with Route Planner, resulting in spectacular cost savings and highly improved customer service.
Serving over 70,000 residential homes and 6,000 commercial customers, AES takes pride in being Ireland’s leading waste management company. The company handles recyclable, organic, and general waste, keeping the approx. 165 vehicles busy with 400- 500 collections per route on average.
In Ireland, counties are not responsible for waste management, and the Irish customers are free to change provider if they are not content with the service. Darren Sadler, “It is imperative for us at AES to be able to meet the expectations of our customers, and previously we were unfortunately not always able to do so.”

The Challenge
AES Transport & Logistics Manager Darren Sadler comments, "AES practically never created new master plans before. The routes were not written down but simply planned by the drivers, based on local knowledge. Consequently, the routes were somewhat inefficient and very difficult to execute for temporary drivers, who often missed bins."
The Solution
AES decided to implement Route Optimization from AMCS and started with mater routes. Darren Sadler explains: “Optimising service days was crucial in order to achieve the best results, and, learning from our mistakes, we therefore changed our communication strategy and improved the acceptance of service day changes remarkably.”
The results
”The system has improved our profitability and customer service greatly”, says Darren Sadler.
