Route optimization & automation

Modern route optimization technology can transform a collection system's efficiency, but only when paired with the operational expertise to apply it correctly. GBB uses state-of-the-art routing software to analyze collection patterns, model scenarios, and design optimized routes that reduce mileage, labor hours, and fuel consumption while maintaining reliable service. We layer this technology with hands-on collection operations experience, evaluating equipment, vehicle and crew configurations, and staff training, to ensure recommendations work in practice, not just on paper. GBB also guides the transition to automated and semi-automated collection and advises on franchising and privatization strategies. The result: technology-driven route designs that deliver measurable, lasting savings.
