A tanker on a septic pump-out in New Zealand

Booking software for septic and grease trap work in New Zealand.

The tank on the truck decides how many jobs the day has, and the transfer station shuts well before you do. Build the run around both.

Booked into a gap the truck can take

Households take the daytime slots and kitchens take the late ones, and every job carries the disposal run inside it, so the fourth tank is never offered.

Smart scheduling

A run built to reach the station

Jobs sit in driving order with their real duration, so the last septic of the day leaves enough road to get the load where it has to go.

Grease trap pump-out

The day ends when the tank does.

Three big septics fill a truck. The fourth booking is not extra work, it is a promise that comes apart at two in the afternoon.

  • The disposal run is inside the job

    Make the duration the whole task rather than the pumping, and the calendar holds the road time instead of assuming the truck empties itself.

  • Move it and the run moves

    Drag a pump-out to tomorrow and the rest shifts with it, and the crew have the new time before you have finished the call.

  • Free on every plan

    Moving work around the day costs nothing. The part that sits on Pro is filling the hole the move has just left.

Night traps, daytime tanks.

A kitchen cannot be pumped out during service and a household does not want you there at midnight. They are two different products, not one product with a note on it.

  • Two services, two sets of hours

    Trap work carries its own availability, so a restaurant only ever sees the late slots and a homeowner only ever sees the morning ones.

  • The cycle books itself

    Recurring visits are free on every plan. Set the interval once and the trap keeps landing on the calendar with its access time on it.

  • Each job as long as it really is

    A level check is twenty minutes and a full tank is most of a morning. Duration is per service, so neither has to pretend to be the other.

The tank is right up and there is a smell in the yard. It was last done about four years ago, I think. Anything today or tomorrow?

Nothing left on the truck till Thursday.

A full tank is a hard limit. The enquiry still lands, with the property and the problem on it, ready for the first gap that is genuinely there.

The one that booked itself overnight.

A household pump-out picked a slot at eleven at night, took the address and the tank details with it, and was on the run before you opened the laptop.

What you knew about that tank in 2023.

Where the lid is, whether it has to be dug out, what the baffle looked like last time and every visit since. Read before the truck leaves the yard, not after.

Every tank you empty

Built for households, kitchens and the ones that will not wait

Household septic pump-outs

The three yearly clean-out on a lifestyle block with no reticulated sewer. Daytime work, and always a longer drive than it looked.

Cafe and restaurant grease traps

Trap work that can only happen once service is finished. Separate service, separate hours, separate price, usually a separate payer.

On-site wastewater system servicing

The scheduled service visit on a treatment system. Quicker than a pump-out, priced as its own job, and due on a cycle the owner forgets.

Emergency overflows

A failed system with effluent up in the paddock on a Sunday. It jumps the run, and everybody moved that day has to hear about it.

Dairy and lifestyle block tanks

Bigger tanks down a race, where access decides the price more than the volume does. Access notes ride on the site, not in your head.

Pre-sale tank checks

A pump and a look before a property changes hands, with a written record the agent can pass on. Sent from the job, not typed up later.

Holiday park holding tanks

Tanks that fill by season rather than by date, so the visit is booked against the run and the tide of the summer, not a fixed day.

Disposal field investigations

The tank that keeps needing the truck because the field has stopped taking water. Quoted as a look first, then the repair.

School and marae systems

Larger systems on a term cycle, invoiced to a committee that wants a numbered document and a date it can file.

Sludge level checks

The short visit that decides whether the truck is needed at all. Booked, recorded and priced as the small job it genuinely is.

How far you will go for one tank.

A single septic ninety minutes out is an afternoon, not a job. Draw the line once and the booking page holds it, while anyone past it can still ask.

Past your coverage. Decline politely, or make an exception.

The one that sits outside it.

Flagged before it is accepted, so the long haul is a decision you make in the morning rather than something you discover at the second gate.

Pro

The gap worth taking.

A cancelled trap leaves a hole at ten at night. Whether that hole is worth filling depends on where the next tank actually is.

  • Slots scored on the driving, with Pro

    Open slots are ranked by the extra road they add to the run you already have, so the sensible ones are the ones offered first.

  • Nothing is reordered behind you

    The run you built stands. Ranking only decides what gets offered next, it never rearranges jobs you have already promised.

Back to base

Pump it, or pump it and fix the field.

A tank that fills every year has something wrong past the outlet. Quote the pump, the outlet filter and the disposal field work on one page.

  • Three answers on one quote, with Pro

    Options on a quote come with Pro. Tick the second chamber or the field investigation and the number moves while they read it, rather than you writing a second quote after tea.

  • Priced by the line, not by memory

    Quantity times rate on every line, so the pump-out, the second chamber and the extra hose all add up the way they would at the desk.

  • Access is its own line

    Digging out a buried lid and running hose down a race is work, and giving it a line of its own is what keeps the price from looking padded.

  • The quote holds its number

    Document numbering is set once and never moves, so the quote you sent and the invoice behind it can be traced to each other later.

Paid before you are back on the road.

A rural pump-out chased by post is a fortnight of nothing. A cafe on account is different work, and both should close out from the job.

  • Cash and transfer are free

    Record what landed against the job on any plan. The free plan never stands between you and money for a tank you have already emptied.

  • Cards come with Pro

    Send the link while the hose is still coming in and watch it clear, instead of carrying a terminal or leaving an invoice in the cab.

  • Staged, when the job earns it

    A field repair can carry its own payment request on Pro. Those sit after the booking, not at the point somebody picks a date.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your septic and grease trap work business.

Scheduling

Each job holds its true length with the station run inside it, so the day reserves the drive as well as the hour spent beside the tank.

Bookings

Every septic, trap and treatment system in one list, carrying its tank size, its access notes and the hours it is allowed to be done in.

Online booking

One page, two worlds: households choose from daytime slots, kitchens choose from late ones, and neither is ever shown the other set.

Inbox

The overflow call, the cafe chasing its monthly date and the agent wanting a pre-sale note, in one thread per site instead of three phones.

Estimates

Pump-out, access work and disposal field repair sit as separate lines, so nobody reads the digger time as part of the price of the truck.

Customers

The tank you emptied three winters ago is on the same record as the smell they rang about today, with the lid location and your notes.

Territories

Draw how far you will drive for a single tank, so a job an hour past the transfer station cannot quietly book itself into a Tuesday.

Team

The other driver reads the notes you wrote about the race and the gate, so nobody turns up at a locked chain with no key and no signal.

Payments

Cash and transfer recorded by hand on any plan. Cards come with Pro, so a lifestyle block job is paid before you are back on the highway.

Common questions.

Give each service the length the job actually takes, disposal run included. The calendar holds the whole block and refuses anything overlapping it, so the slot is never offered in the first place.

Yes. Trap work and household septics run as two services with their own availability, so a cafe only ever sees the late slots and a homeowner only ever sees the morning ones.

Recurring bookings are free on every plan. Set the interval once and the trap keeps arriving on the calendar with its access time, its notes and its price already attached.

On the property record. Tank size, where the lid is, whether the paddock gate is locked, the last three visits and your notes on the outlet filter all live in the one place.

It keeps your half of it. Every visit is dated against the site with your notes and files attached to the job. It does not talk to the station and it does not hold consents for you.

Cash and bank transfer are recorded by hand on any plan, free included. Card payments come with Pro, so a rural pump-out is settled before you are back on the road.
