May 5th, 2023 – Patriot Shredding, a shredding company in the Washington, DC area, faced challenges in their route operations and sought ways to optimize their routes, increase revenue, and maximize capacity. To achieve these goals, Patriot Shredding partnered with DHS Worldwide Software Solutions, an i-SIGMA Corporate Partner Member, and upgraded to Total Recall Envision, a software solution that streamlined sales, customer service, billing/collections, and route management.
Total Recall Envision’s scheduling and route optimization tools allowed Patriot Shredding to create the densest and most profitable routes possible. The built-in scheduling calendar provided insights into their capacity, while the dispatching application enabled necessary adjustments to optimize routes as a whole.

Patriot Shredding can now generate 36% more revenue per route with only a 3% increase in service time. The software solution helped streamline their route operations, increase revenue and capacity, and realize an additional half a million dollars in profit.
