Waste hauling gets more high-tech every year, and Telus is looking to keep the digital ball rolling with its new IoT Marketplace, known as the Internet of things or simply smart technology. There are many options out there in the market for waste companies to choose from, so Telus's idea is to do a little vetting and simplify the process of connecting waste companies with the long list of tech companies, insteadt of haulers throwing up a Hail Mary pass and choosing their own. While Telus's IoT marketplace covers all kinds of different sectors, not just waste, it formed a partnership with Focus Smart Fleet and Fuel Optimization for its excellence in smart tech management. "People are trying to connect with everything now," says a spokesperson from Focus. For right now, the connections that can be made run the gamut from security, to signage, asset tracking, and of course, fleet management.
