Frequently asked questions and answers. Is your question not listed? Feel free to contact us.
How does GPS-Buddy help track vehicles and containers in waste management?
With GPS-Buddy, you can see in real time where your vehicles, containers, and other assets are located. Every movement or container swap is automatically recorded, including time and location. This saves search time, enables more efficient planning, and ensures you always know where everything is.
Can I automatically log trip and mileage records for my waste collection?
Yes, all trips are automatically recorded, including start and stop times, mileage, and visit locations. With the “Keurmerk Ritregistratie” certification, you comply with tax authority guidelines and have an error-free record for invoicing and internal reporting.
How does GPS-Buddy support more efficient route planning?
Our platform calculates the most efficient route based on live traffic information and the location of vehicles and containers. You can assign jobs directly and digitally to drivers, saving time and avoiding unnecessary mileage.
Can I report CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption per project or vehicle?
Absolutely. GPS-Buddy links vehicle and machine data with fuel consumption and operating hours. This allows you to easily generate reports per vehicle, route, or customer job. It supports sustainability goals, audits, and tenders where CO₂ performance is important.
How does GPS-Buddy help speed up administration and invoicing?
All trip, hours, container swap, and material usage data is automatically linked to projects and customers. This means you can create invoices faster, without errors, and fully backed by data – no manual lists or after-the-fact disputes.
What can GPS-Buddy do for the safety and reliability of my operations?
Our solutions provide insight into driving behaviour, such as speeding, harsh braking, or idling, to encourage safer driving. You also receive alerts in case of unauthorised use or unusual situations, reducing the risk of damage or incidents.
Is GPS-Buddy easy to integrate with existing weighing and planning systems?
Yes, Flowter – our central platform – is modular and integrates seamlessly with the most widely used back-office, ERP, and weighing systems. This improves efficiency, prevents duplicate entries, and ensures all data is available in one place.
