Service runs on signal, not schedule. ClearPath is the platform that makes the switch.

ClearPath is the on-demand service platform for fixed-path operations. Sensors detect what needs attention, and the platform sends the team. Trips that never needed to happen stop happening.

See how it works
The Shift

Every other part of the operation already runs on real time. Service still runs on a calendar.

A calendar is a guess about where the work will be, and it gets that guess wrong in two ways. Some points get serviced when they were already fine. Others sit empty or full for hours before the route gets to them.

A schedule can’t be right, because the conditions it guesses about keep changing after it’s written.

Most of the operation has already left this behind. Inventory, logistics, staffing, and maintenance moved years ago from fixed schedules to real-time signal. Fixed-path service is the last place a calendar still drives the work.

That position is hard to hold. Once an operation can see what actually needs service, running a route on a guess stops making sense. On-demand service is the shift to running on the signal instead.

What It Is

A platform that turns real-time conditions into dispatched work.

ClearPath is an on-demand service platform. It sits between the physical infrastructure being serviced and the team that services it. On one side are the bins, containers, dispensers, tanks, and stations. On the other are the custodians, technicians, drivers, and fuelers.

ClearPath replaces the calendar that used to connect them. Service goes out when the signal says it needs to happen.

The team stays the team. The work that gets done is the work that needs doing.

What ClearPath Is Not

Three categories ClearPath sits next to, but isn't.

From a distance, on-demand service can look like three categories it has nothing to do with. The difference is where the value comes from.

Not IoT

IoT is a component, not a category. ClearPath uses sensors, but the value is the dispatch logic that turns a signal into assigned work. A platform that stops at sensor readings and a dashboard is a different product. Sensors are how ClearPath sees. They are not what it does.

Not field service management

Field service management sends technicians to repair calls after something breaks. ClearPath sends crews to accumulation, depletion, and fluid level at service points before anyone has to call. The trigger, the buyer, and the mechanism are all different.

Not vertical software

Vertical software is a separate product for every market. ClearPath is one platform with one dispatch logic running across waste, sharps, restrooms, venues, fueling, shredding, and more. The configuration changes by industry. The platform underneath does not.

The Pattern

The same problem shows up anywhere something fills, empties, or runs low.

ClearPath runs in six verticals today: waste and recycling, sharps and medical waste, restroom consumables, venue and course consumables, fleet fueling, and shredding and document destruction. The configuration differs in each. The pattern underneath is the same.

A container fills, a dispenser empties, a tank runs low. A signal says so, the platform decides what needs attention, and the platform sends the team. Nothing about that logic is specific to a bin, a restroom, or a vehicle.

That is why on-demand service is an operating model, not a product, in all six industries. Anywhere a fixed-path service route exists, or a crew runs a schedule to check things that may or may not need attention, the pattern applies. The six industries are where it runs now, but they are not the limit of where it works.

Where ClearPath Fits

Underneath the work, not in front of it.

ClearPath is infrastructure. It runs underneath the operation and handles dispatch. The frontline doesn’t have to learn a new job. A custodian opens a mobile list and works through the points in priority order. A driver gets a reordered route. A fueler gets a list of vehicles that actually need fuel.

Supervisors see the same operation on a facility-wide dashboard, with real-time status for every service point. The calendar model never gave anyone that visibility. It comes as a byproduct of dispatching against the signal.

What ClearPath Delivers

Three ways the math comes back.

Every deployment delivers value in three ways. They are three views of the same shift from calendar to signal.

The trips that don’t matter stop happening.

Service goes only to points that signal a need. Fewer trips, with the same or better service levels.

Coverage holds when demand spikes.

ClearPath sees demand in real time and sends service to match it, so the peak gets covered without staffing everyday operations for the peak.

The team gets to the work it couldn’t before.

The hours freed up from wasted trips become capacity for the work that always slips first under pressure.

The Company Behind ClearPath

One platform underneath, built and operated by ObjectSpectrum.

ObjectSpectrum builds and runs connected service platforms for businesses built around equipment. ClearPath is one of them.

ClearPath is a single platform, not a separate product for each industry, because of how it’s built. The same dispatch logic applies across every industry. The sensors vary by what they measure, and the integrations vary by partner. The platform underneath does not vary at all. That consistency is what makes the economics work, for ObjectSpectrum and for the partners who sell ClearPath under their own brand.

ClearPath goes to market under partner brands. The partner owns the customer relationship and sells the service. ObjectSpectrum builds and runs the platform behind every deployment and keeps improving it, without partners funding the development.

ClearPath is built on Prism, the platform ObjectSpectrum has run in production for years across multiple equipment categories. Prism is where the sensors, dispatch logic, data, and machine learning live. Learn more about Prism.

Equipment Intelligence is the category this work belongs to: the shift from one-time equipment transactions to continuous installed-base businesses. ClearPath is one application of it, the one built for fixed-path service.
