Waste fleet tracking for rounds, bins and skips

Yes, with a Bluetooth tag, and the limit is worth knowing before you buy. A tag has no SIM and no idea where it is. Any Yipii tracker passing within about 10 metres reads it and logs it against that vehicle at that position, so what you get is which truck last had the container and where it put it down. Leave a tagged skip on a site with nothing tracked nearby and it reports nothing at all until one of your trucks comes back. The cell lasts one to two years in daily use, Yipii reports the voltage, and anything above 2.8 V is healthy. Moving a tag onto a different container never destroys the history behind it. Battery-powered trackers that report on their own are in the range now, and we are not putting a model, a battery life, a price or an install type on this page until those are settled. Ask us and we will tell you where they stand this week.

With the position record rather than the route sheet. Draw the round as a zone, a circle or a polygon, and the truck crossing it is timestamped on the way in and on the way out. Point Visits lists every site the truck stopped at with the travel time between them, and Start-Stop gives each stop with its duration. Both export to PDF or Excel, and one report covers up to 31 days. Every position is recorded as the truck moves, and the visit reports read off that history rather than off anything the crew fills in. One honest limit: Yipii records where the truck was and when it was there. Nothing on the vehicle counts lifts, so it cannot tell you that a particular bin was emptied. Size zones at 100 to 250 metres for a depot, a bring-in site or a transfer station, and 800 to 1,000 metres for a round covering a whole area.

No, and it is a fair thing to expect, so we would rather say it here than on the call. There is no dwell-time alert anywhere in Yipii. The dwell settings you find on a geofence are debounce timers, 120 seconds on arrival and 30 seconds on departure by default, and all they do is stop a truck idling on a boundary from firing a crossing every few seconds. Time spent anywhere comes out of the stop and visit reports afterwards. What does alert live is movement outside the hours you set, a speed threshold on a named truck, and a tracker that stops reporting to the platform. Email alerts are free and unlimited, and SMS and WhatsApp cost 1 to 3 credits a message.

Councils and the contractors who serve them are both readers of this page, and reporting is the part that matters to each of them. A council wants the same answer every month in a form somebody can file: which rounds ran, when a truck was on which street, and how long it stood at the transfer station. Yipii has 19 reports with filters, and scheduled delivery daily, weekly or monthly to as many recipients as you name, in PDF, Excel, HTML or JSON. Set that up once and the report arrives without anyone running it. If your contract asks for a figure we do not produce, tell us at the quote stage and we will say plainly whether it can come out of a report or not.

It depends on how many trucks you run, how many skips, bins and containers you want tagged, and whether you want SMS or WhatsApp alerts on top of the free email ones. We quote per operation rather than publishing a price list, because a two-truck contractor and a council-wide round are not the same job. Tell us the number of vehicles and containers and we will come back with a figure and a fitting date.
