How Bolz Entsorgung Transformed Waste Collection with Sygic

Expanding Services, Increasing Complexity

Bolz Entsorgung, (Bolz Entsorgung GmbH) is a medium-sized waste disposal company based in Germany’s Ruhr area. The company mainly collects organic waste, food leftovers, used cooking oils, and kitchen waste, especially from gastronomy, retail, hospitals, and care facilities. In recent years, they’ve also added glass and other non-hazardous waste to their services. With over 150 employees, including 69 drivers, they carry out daily collection tours using a fleet that’s constantly on the move.

Why Sygic?

Back in 2018, the company introduced Sygic Professional Navigation to support its growing team—and it quickly became the go-to navigation tool for their entire fleet.“Honestly, we don’t use anything else. Every driver is equipped with Sygic,” says Julia Kehren, Marketing Manager at Bolz Entsorgung.

Bolz quickly chose Sygic for its simplicity and ease of use. With frequent updates to company devices, they needed a solution that was quick to install and reliable across a wide range of devices. Sygic delivered. It was also intuitive even for drivers who weren’t fluent in German, thanks to its multilingual support.

Real-Time Routes, Real-World Results

Each day at Bolz Entsorgung begins early. Dispatch is at the heart of operations, creating optimized routes and assigning them to drivers, who access them through dedicated work phones. These routes are also available in paper form, but digital access through Sygic offers greater convenience and clarity.

Changes can happen on the fly—a customer might miss their scheduled pickup, or an unexpected stop needs to be added. In these cases, being able to adapt is key. Thanks to Sygic, new instructions can be sent directly to the drivers without delay. The connection between dispatch and the fleet is always up-to-date, ensuring flexibility and accuracy in daily service.

"Drivers often have to adjust mid-route, but they’re supported by real-time updates through Sygic. It’s a significant and important benefit," Ms. Kehren adds.

Measuring the Impact

Sygic has played a crucial role in supporting Bolz Entsorgung’s rapid growth over recent years. As the company scaled up operations and transitioned from paper-based to digital route management, Sygic proved to be a key enabler.

The system made it easier to manage a growing fleet, adapt quickly to changes in daily routes, and empower drivers to operate more independently. The real-time connection between dispatch and drivers, combined with the intuitive app interface, helped reduce confusion, save time, and streamline communication. Gone were the days of relying solely on printed routes.

“We became much more flexible, transparent, and easier to manage. Thanks to Sygic, we're able to manage our business more sustainably-saving fuel, optimizing routes, and getting to our customers faster," Ms. Kehren explains.

Driving Bigger Goals

Beyond logistics, Sygic also supports Bolz’s broader goals: sustainability and service quality. With smoother daily operations and better route structure, the risk of errors and the need for revisits have been significantly reduced. Routes now follow a clear, logical flow instead of crisscrossing, which saves both time and fuel while lowering environmental impact — fully in line with Bolz’s commitment to sustainability. And since everything is now managed digitally, paper use has dropped to a minimum.

A Confident Look Ahead

Bolz Entsorgung continues to look ahead with confidence, always seeking to enhance operational excellence. With reliable tools like Sygic in place, they are well-positioned for the road ahead. The company is also in the process of constructing a significantly larger new location, making smooth logistics and technological progress even more essential.

“We’re more agile, the drivers are more satisfied, and communication has never been easier.” Ms. Kehren adds.

With Sygic as a key part of their operations, Bolz Entsorgung is not just managing growth—they’re navigating it with confidence.
