Benefits
with
zebrafant.ai
Automated route planning
Reduce dispatcher workload with data-based routes. Routes are planned based on data, manual interventions are reduced, and valuable time is freed up for other tasks.
30–40% fewer collection days
Need-based planning prevents unnecessary emptying. Fewer trips reduce fuel, labor, and vehicle wear while keeping service levels stable.
90% less spilled containers
Empty at the right time. Containers are not forgotten or collected too late, and complaints drop noticeably.
Transparent documentation for municipalities and contract partners
Every emptying is digitally documented. This improves reporting, builds trust, and provides reliable proof of service.
Knowledge in the system, not in individuals
Local expertise becomes digital. Staff changes, sick leave, holidays, and retirements no longer disrupt routing quality.
Flexible planning despite driver shortages
Even drivers new to the area can run tours confidently. The system guides them reliably, making staffing shortages easier to manage.

In
four steps
to the new
zebrafant industry standard
1. Free ROI & fit check
Is zebrafant a good fit for you?
We will assess together whether zebrafant is suitable for your collection. We assess region, container types, staffing situation, constraints, and realistic savings potential.
Free and non-binding.
2. Data onboarding
Real data instead of gut feeling
Your drivers record fill levels during normal tours. No sensors, no extra trips, and no additional organizational effort required.
This provides a clear picture of filling behaviour in your area.
3. Pilot routes + weekly tuning
Smooth transition to the new standard
Once we understand fill behavior, we roll out optimized route planning step-by-step.
Weekly tuning ensures immediate relief rather than disruption, even with tight staffing.
4. Scale + continuous improvement
Long-term impact, not a short test
After 3 to 6 months, we unlock additional potential through improved forecasting, container placement optimization, and route refinement. This turns collection into a stable, data-driven standard.
Das Ergebnis ist der neue stabile, datengetriebene Betriebsstandard.
