Plutou
Plutou is an AI-native operations platform purpose-built for collection operators, such as those managing donation pickups, waste collection, or recycling services. It replaces fragmented spreadsheets, disconnected routing tools, and manual data entry with a unified, intelligent system. The platform features an agentic dispatcher that automatically plans weekly pickup schedules, adapts routes in real time as conditions change, and continuously learns from completed pickups to improve future efficiency. A central dashboard allows operators to manage all pickup locations, set flexible schedules, and track service history. Route generation is automated: with one click, optimized routes for the entire fleet are created, reducing labor, miles, and fuel costs by up to 20%. The included driver mobile app works offline, captures photos, records container fill levels, and instantly syncs data with dispatch, eliminating paper and manual data entry. Plutou aims to streamline operations, increase visibility, and maximize resource recovery.
