VAS focuses not only on modernizing systems and processes within the city cleaning department, but also on making smart use of data as a management tool and optimizing support for colleagues in their daily work.
Implementation of the Ximmio Waste Platform
Currently, the Municipality of Almere and Ximmio are working intensively to prepare for the implementation of the Waste Platform. The next year and a half will be devoted to the complete replacement of the current system.
Thierry Permentier, city cleaning department manager, explains: “With the VAS program and the cooperation with software supplier Ximmio, we are ensuring a transition to a more efficient system that supports our colleagues in their daily work. At the same time, this offers opportunities for improving our services and we are contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable Almere. It is great to see how driven and innovative Ximmio is and that we pursue the same goals.”
