Customer Case Study
LifeSaver Mobile’s Solution for Waste Management Fleets
Aspen Waste
Minneapolis, MN
Company Background
Aspen Waste is a waste management company that provides various waste management services to businesses and communities. With a fleet of over 200 vehicles, Aspen Waste's primary focus is to ensure efficient and safe waste collection and disposal. To enhance their operations, Aspen Waste partnered with LifeSaver Mobile to implement their innovative software solution and address the issue of distracted driving within their fleet.
Challenge
Like many waste management companies, Aspen Waste faced the challenge of ensuring employee safety while on the road. With the increasing use of mobile devices and routing tablets, distractions caused by these devices pose a significant risk to road safety. Additionally, the waste management industry typically requires frequent interaction with routing tablets, which could lead to further distraction and collisions.
Solution
To mitigate distraction-related incidents, Aspen Waste turned to LifeSaver Mobile and their 100% software-only solution. LifeSaver Mobile's solution is designed to proactively prevent phone distraction for drivers and, importantly for waste management fleets, minimize unwanted interactions with routing tablets while driving. This solution aligns perfectly with the needs of waste management fleets, where driver focus and safety are paramount.
Implementation and Results:
Aspen Waste’s initial pilot phase allowed the company to evaluate the effectiveness of the LifeSaver Mobile solution within their operational environment. The pilot’s positive outcome led to Aspen Waste’s full-scale rollout of the LifeSaver Mobile solution on over 200 routing tablets.
Feature Enhancement
Aspen Waste was concerned that its drivers would be tempted to interact with the navigation application on their routing tablets. This concern resulted in a unique opportunity for LifeSaver Mobile. The company required a “view-only” mode that allows drivers to view, but not manipulate, their navigation software. LifeSaver Mobile was able to implement this new feature in a very short period of time and now this “view-only” mode is available for all LifeSaver customers.
