• Would you like to know whether your material and personnel capacity is efficiently used?
• Can you reduce the number of your winter, waste collection or container routes?
• Can you reduce the number of your winter, waste collection or container routes?
• Has your working area been enlargened or reduced and do you therefore need to set up new routes?

During the last 10 years NMPO has specialised in route optimisation. Dedicated mathematicians have built and improved algorithms for optimisation. These algorithms are specially developed for waste management, for example winter services, street cleansing, waste collection and similar tasks.

These optimisations are performed for large waste collection companies, both public and private, but also for municipal waste companies.

Due to our strong link with the work in the field, results are realistic and usable. Regular contact through interim jobs and consultancy maintain a strong and current tie to daily reality, providing inputs for adapting the software along the process.

Other existing optimisation programmes are usually meant for sending packages. NMPO targets on the waste sector, meaning picking up packages. This is a major difference in the way routes should be optimised.

Since 2005 NMPO has intensive cooperation with the University of Nijmegen (faculty of mathematics) to adapt existing algorithms to the field of waste management. This makes NMPO unique in the market. For every problem specific algorithms are developed leading to good results in improving efficiency (less time and less kilometres).

The developments continue: besides route optimisations, routes are also exported to navigation systems and routes can be tracked. This created a self-learning system in which programmes, algorithms as well as approach develop and grow.

The results of the optimisations can be imported in our programmes, providing a good overview of the new routes. In our programmes, the routes may be viewed, modified and kept as reference.

The optimisation routines are also available as web service. This means that the results are easily imported in the software you use already. You do not need to buy other programmes or find your way in a variety of different software packages. You stay put in your own programmes and still are able to use the results of our optimisation, made available under a simple button.
