The Solution
Smart logistics streamlines treatment, recovery, and disposal processes
Infosys implemented a surveillance system leveraging the home grown Infosys Location Based Services (LBS) platform IP to provide the company with situational awareness of and control over daily processes.
Our team created a mobile app on iOS and Android for waste carrier truck drivers to review, book, edit, and cancel appointments. The app also provides drivers with navigation support.
Our application enables the company to manage both scheduled as well as unscheduled appointments, and record logbook entry events. It generates Web notifications and push notifications for the mobile app. It also enables GPS tracking of the truck fleet with notifications on entry and exit of vehicles at treatment facilities.
We integrated our solution with the existing riser panel information receiving systems, along with sharing information about wait times and details of trucks in the queue. It generates daily reports about the quantity of waste received, wait times and other relevant information.
