The Challenge
Prior to the implementation of the AMCS Platform: Enterprise Management Solution, most of kmG Hauling’s office operations were manual processes. Billing was handled through QuickBooks, while routing was done using Excel and then manually updated when services changed. When there was a need for a work order to be generated, it was manually done, making it time-consuming and a challenge to track and manage efficiently. kmG Hauling needed a way to migrate all their data and consolidate it into one system to improve their operational efficiency and enhance their customer service. kmG Hauling recognized the need to find a solution that would replace the manual systems by finding a solution that would support their efforts and provide better operational efficiency.

Specializing in the collection and disposal of trash, recycling, bulk, construction and demolition (C&D), and other debris, kmG Hauling serves communities in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.

The company has evolved to adopt modern, state-of-the-art methods for waste removal, symbolized by their colorfully painted trucks representing various causes they support.
The Solution
kmG Hauling discovered AMCS and its solutions at WasteExpo and further explored their software by visiting their facility. They chose AMCS for its focus on the waste management industry and its robust solution that consolidates all operations into one platform. This choice improved efficiency, prevented revenue leakage, and standardized back-office operations. To manage the change, kmG Hauling formed an internal team of subject matter experts, including their IT Consultant and members of their finance and customer service teams, to oversee the implementation and collaborate with the AMCS team. They opted for hands-on training from AMCS, which was instrumental in developing workflows that mapped out all aspects of their services. This included customer types, equipment used, service frequency, and business process exceptions. The transition required staff to adapt to new ways of viewing information, such as route sheets with detailed notes for drivers. The AMCS Enterprise Management solution also enabled kmG Hauling to archive customer interactions and access real-time information, enhancing their customer service capabilities.

A SMART SOLUTION FOR A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
A detailed study conducted by a student from Universidad Pontificia Comillas ICAI in Spain highlighted the need for ecologically safe and sustainable products. While recycling plays an important role in the circular economy, many consumers don’t recycle for a variety of reasons, including lack of space, inconveniently located recycling centers and collection containers, or distrust and/or disbelief in the recycling process. Organizations needed a model that made recycling easier and more accessible for everyone.
