Case Study: Ace Intermountain Recycling Center

Route Time Tracking Transformation

Client Challenge

Ace Intermountain Recycling Center (AIRC) had been using a paper-based system to track their drivers’ routes and delivery processes. Drivers manually recorded timestamps on paper forms as they performed various tasks like, clock in/out time, departing facilities, load times, weighing in at landfills, and return trip times. These forms were then physically returned to the office where data entry personnel would manually input the information into spreadsheets for analysis and reporting.

This manual process created several critical problems:

Significant time delays between data collection and availability for analysis
Frequent errors in recording and transcription
Lost or illegible paper forms
Excessive administrative labor costs
Inability to monitor route efficiency in real-time
Difficulty integrating with other business systems

Our Solution

We developed a comprehensive mobile route tracking system with three interconnected components:

Mobile Application (iOS & Android)
- Secure driver login and authentication
- Intuitive interface for selecting routes and recording timestamps
- Offline functionality with data synchronization when connectivity is restored
- Photo capture capabilities for load tickets and documentation
- Real-time data transmission via API to central servers
Administrative Web Portal
- Secure management dashboard for administrators
- Route configuration and management tools
- Driver assignment and scheduling functions
- Real-time monitoring of all active routes
- Comprehensive reporting and analytics dashboard
- User role and permission management
API Integration Layer
- Custom API for seamless data exchange between mobile app and admin portal
- Integration with AIRC’s existing management systems
- Data export capabilities for Microsoft 365 Dynamics, Microsoft Excel, & Zapier
- Secure authentication and data encryption protocols
- Robust error handling and recovery mechanisms

Implementation Process

The implementation followed our proven 5-step methodology:

Discovery & Requirements Analysis: We conducted in-depth interviews with drivers, dispatchers, and management to understand pain points and workflow requirements.
Solution Design: We created a custom integration architecture tailored to AIRC’s specific operational model, focusing on user experience and data integrity.
Development & Testing: Our team developed the mobile app, admin portal, and API simultaneously, with regular sprint reviews and continuous integration testing.
Deployment: We implemented a phased rollout, starting with a pilot group of drivers to validate the system in real-world conditions before full deployment.
Monitoring & Support: Following launch, we provided 30 days of intensive support with daily check-ins, followed by ongoing maintenance and technical assistance.

Client Testimonial

“The transition from our paper-based system to our new mobile trip a n& route tracking solution has completely transformed our operations. Not only have we eliminated loads of paperwork and hours of manual data entry, but we now have near instant access to critical route & trip information that helps us make better business decisions. The mobile app is intuitive enough that even our most tech-resistant drivers adapted quickly, and the admin portal gives us unprecedented visibility into our daily operations. This solution has paid for itself several times over already.”
