From the roll-on-roll-off skip to the compactor — TRAKmy adapts to any type of container in your waste business.
The challenges
The 4 challenges
of skip management
Because skips are spread across wide areas, tracking them quickly becomes a headache without a digital solution.
Where are my skips?
Your skips are scattered across customers, sites and in transit — impossible to locate without a dedicated GPS solution.
When and how are they used?
Without activity data, it is hard to optimise collection planning and properly assess the utilisation rate of each skip.
Do they need collecting?
Spot full, under-used or forgotten skips so collections are triggered at the right time and empty runs avoided.
Do they need servicing?
Track cleaning cycles, detect damage in the field and schedule maintenance to avoid unplanned downtime.
Why invest
Measurable gains
from deployment
Our customers see a fast return on investment through three concrete levers.
How it works
3 steps to smart
skip management
From the tracker on the skip to operational decisions — a simple, automated flow.
Track — easy installation
A battery-powered tracker fitted to your skip in seconds. No wiring, no electrical work.
Connect — NB-IoT network
Communication over the public low-power NB-IoT network. No infrastructure to deploy, no SIM card to manage.
Analyse & respond — software ready to go
The TRAKmy platform aggregates all the data and gives you ready-made alerts, dashboards and reports.

Step 1
Full visibility
over your fleet
Know at any moment where each of your skips is — its location, its condition and its activity, from a single interface.
Real-time positioning of all your skips
A unified map of your whole fleet, with journey history, last known position and time spent at each customer site.
Spot unused or forgotten skips
Quickly identify skips that have not moved for X days, so you can reassign them and avoid over-investment.
Geofence & suspicious movement alerts
Set geographic perimeters and get an alert as soon as a skip leaves a zone, is moved outside working hours or is tipped unexpectedly.
Step 2
Digital
logbook
Replace your Excel files and paper logs with automatic, verifiable traceability of every skip.
Full history per skip
Access every movement, collection, tipping and site presence since the tracker was deployed.
Activity and rotation tracking
How many times is each skip emptied per month? Per site? These KPIs let you optimise collection planning.
Alerts if skips are misplaced
Be notified immediately if a skip is dropped outside the intended zone, or if it stays too long at a customer.
Step 3
Keep your fleet
operational
Anticipate maintenance needs, schedule cleaning and avoid availability gaps at your customer sites.
Avoid skip shortages
Anticipate fleet needs from usage and rotation data, so a customer site is never left without an available skip.
Cleaning cycle tracking
Schedule and verify cleaning operations by pairing GPS data with tipping alerts — prove that every skip was actually serviced.
Cut downtime and costs
10% lower servicing costs through maintenance scheduled on real data rather than a fixed calendar.
Customer case
How we digitised
a recycling centre's skip fleet
Optimising operational performance
The solution made it possible to improve collection performance continuously and to cut manual entries by 85% , which had been done through an Excel file shared per site on Google Drive. Some skips had a low rotation rate at certain recycling centres and were reallocated to other sites — 5% less unnecessary investment in new skips.
Complete contractual transparency
The solution made it possible to demonstrate compliance with contracts and performance indicators to shippers. Timestamped, geolocated data is irrefutable proof of the service delivered — an invaluable asset for the company's reputation.
Activity tracking: separating every step
The trackers were configured to distinguish skip states: Departure, Movement, Stop, Orientation (tipping). Each stage of movement, work and emptying is therefore separated automatically. The solution made it possible to check whether emptying actually took place at the right sites, by pairing tipping alerts with geofences.
Security: detecting suspicious activity
Through out-of-hours movement alerts and geofences, the customer can be alerted as soon as suspicious activity is detected on their skips — a significant reduction in theft and unauthorised movement.
The recommended tracker
Built to withstand skips
The ULTRA N+ tracker has been specially tested to withstand the impact and vibration of industrial skips.
Outdoor · Rugged · Versatile
ULTRA N+
The flagship tracker for industrial skips and containers. Tested to withstand IK09 impact, IP69K high-pressure jets and UV. 5 built-in sensors including tipping detection.
See the product page →
Outdoor · Long life
ULTRA N
The same robustness as the ULTRA N+, without the temperature sensor or Wi-Fi. The cost-effective option for large outdoor skip fleets.
See the product page →
Compact · Discreet · Expandable
COMPACT 1115
An ultra-compact format for IBCs, drums and small containers. Dual NB-IoT and LTE-M networks, 5 built-in sensors including orientation and temperature, replaceable battery pack. Compatible with external BLE sensors (fill level, temperature).
See the product page →IP68 · IP69K · IK09
Maximum resistance: prolonged immersion, high-pressure jets (cleaning) and mechanical impact. UV-stabilised plastic to survive outdoors for years.
Non-rechargeable battery · 5–10 years
User-replaceable Li-SoCl₂ battery. No recharging and no maintenance for at least 3 to 5 years. Ideal for fleets of hundreds of skips.
Tipping & tamper detection
A built-in orientation sensor to detect every skip emptying. Configurable alerts on tipping outside a zone, to trace every collection and detect fraud.
Remote OTA updates
Firmware and configuration changed remotely over NB-IoT with no site visit. Your 196 skips can be reconfigured from the platform in a few clicks.
Activity tracking
Identify the work
your skips are doing
Once deployed, the trackers automatically distinguish each state of the skip — with no daily manual configuration.
Asset tracking
Fleet management: how to bring
l'asset tracking into your business
The sectors involved are many. In each case, asset positioning cuts operating costs while improving service quality.
Waste collection
Analyse truck routes, stops and slowdowns to optimise rounds and cut fuel consumption. Every kilometre saved translates directly into operational gains.
Road transport
Monitoring driver behaviour reduces the risk of fatigue-related accidents. Sensors watching the mechanics make it possible to anticipate breakdowns through predictive maintenance.
Bike sharing
Deliver an effective real-time service by letting users locate available bikes. Real-time fleet management reduces imbalances between stations.
In each of these examples, operating costs fall and service quality improves — measurable benefits from the first months of deployment.
