    This innovative feature in RouteSmart Online addresses the unique challenges waste haulers face when servicing alleys in urban environments.
  • Unlike streets, alleys often present accessibility issues due to their narrowness, requiring haulers to navigate these confined spaces with smaller trucks.
  • "RouteSmart Online revolutionizes the way waste haulers service alleys, starting with our advanced assignment feature," says Senior Product Manager Mike Corder.
  • This means that even though the service requirement is for the alleys behind customers' homes, where many cities mandate waste collection if alleys are navigable, our system ensures that waste haulers can accurately and efficiently service these unique locations."
