The Predictive Collection Report predicts the next collection date for a container by analysing the collection frequency and average fill level based on acquired data. This article shows how to utilise the Predictive Collection report.
The Benefit of the Predictive Collection Required Report
- It can help predict which locations will require collection on a normal day day off and can be collected in advance to prevent an overflow risk.
- Optimise collection activity and allocate resources
- The data can be utilized to make well-informed decisions about whether an additional container is needed in a particular location based on the collection frequency. For instance, if a container needs to be collected every day, the data can help determine if there is a requirement for an extra container in that location.
A number of collections must occur before the Predictive Collections report becomes operational.
