Together, they are launching an innovative tank telemetry programme aimed at transforming Slicker’s waste oil collecting. By leveraging FoxInsights’ real-time monitoring and data-driven solutions, the partnership aims to improve operational efficiency, enhance service quality, reduce environmental impact, and boost customer satisfaction.

FoxInsights’ telemetry solutions enable businesses to optimise their operations through real-time data and actionable insights. By combining IoT hardware with cutting-edge data analytics, companies can streamline processes, reduce inefficiencies, and make informed decisions that drive business growth.

As a leader in hazardous waste management, Slicker Recycling, is always looking for opportunities to improve operations. This latest initiative, deploying FoxInsights’ tank telemetry systems in the collection of used lubricating oil, will allow Slicker to track tank levels in real-time and tailor collections based on actual demand. This approach not only optimises collection routes but also enhances service to customers by reducing unnecessary trips and enabling faster, more accurate collections.

A significant step towards sustainability

The partnership will increase efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability and ensures more precise and timely collections, preventing overflows and delivering greater service reliability, which in turn means satisfied customers. Fewer trips means reduced fuel consumption, delivering lower carbon emissions and significant cost savings contributing to both Slicker’s sustainability goals and its bottom line. Real-time monitoring and data analytics also help the company meet stringent environmental regulations, supporting its long-term commitment to reducing its environmental footprint.

“We are excited to partner with Slicker Recycling to bring our advanced telemetry solutions into the waste oil management sector, comments Sven Munk, VP of Sales and Marketing at FoxInsights.

“By integrating our reliable and scalable technology, Slicker will be able to optimise their operations, improve sustainability, and deliver enhanced service to their customers. It’s partnerships like these that show the true potential of data-driven solutions, and we’re proud to bring our extended experience to this transformation.”

The initial phase will see deployment across 250 of Slicker’s customer sites, with plans for further expansion. As the system scales, both companies expect to see increased efficiencies, better environmental outcomes, and higher customer satisfaction.

“At Slicker, we’re always striving to improve operational efficiency and reduce our environmental impact,” shares Laura Carter, Joint Managing Director for Slicker.

“After exploring various options, we chose FoxInsights not only for their innovative telemetry technology but also for their proven track record across Europe. Their system is reliable and robust, and their experience in successfully implementing these solutions gave us confidence that they’re the right partner to support our long-term goals.

“With FoxInsights, we can now take a more dynamic, data-driven approach to waste oil collections, improving our service and sustainability efforts.”

The partnership marks a significant step toward a more sustainable waste management industry.
