AMCS launches AMCS Platform Spring 2022

AMCS, a technology provider for waste, recycling and resource management based in Limerick, Ireland, has announced the launch of the AMCS Platform Spring 2022. According to the company, this release represents the launch of the AMCS Platform for Metal Recycling for the North American market. It will formally launch at the ISRI2022 Convention in Las Vegas March 21. 

“2022 promises to be an exciting year in the evolution of the AMCS Platform as a key technology enabler for the circular economy,” says Elaine Tracy, global product director at AMCS. “The launch of AMCS Platform for metal recycling comes after a year-long collaboration with some of the world’s largest scrap recycling organizations who generously gave their valuable feedback into our product design. The result is a unique enterprise-grade solution leveraging the latest technologies and offering the broadest range of automation support across all scrap recycling operations.”  

AMCS says the platform is a new-generation cloud-based solution designed with scrap recyclers to automate all aspects of their operations, such as sales, compliance, pricing and contract management. The company says it represents the first enterprise-grade end-to-end solution of its type, offering scalable architecture, multilocation, multicurrency and multilingual support.  

The Spring 22 release also features a new cross route optimization service, as a new part of AMCS’ Smart Dispatch solution, which is designed to fully automate the allocation of unplanned and on-demand orders to round-based routes. This new service will automatically produce realistic, accurate and balanced routes that are optimized to save driving time and emissions.  

This release also sees the addition of two interactive self-service channels, where end customers can receive and pay bills on mobile devices using a digital wallet such as Google or Apple Pay. Customers can also use interactive voice recording payment. AMCS says these payment options will reduce overall administration costs.  

“Our approach of embedding easy to use and powerful transport optimization features into our platform continues with the addition of the cross-route optimization services which will save planning time, costs and emissions and deliver superior customer service,” Tracy says.
