The Septic Invoice App Built for Field Tank Pumping

Why Septic Tank Pumping & Service Need a Dedicated Field Invoicing App

Septic pumping and maintenance contractors operate heavy pumper trucks across rural properties where cell reception is non-existent and accurate gallonage billing is essential.

• Per-gallon pumping volume pricing: Itemize standard 1,000 or 1,500-gallon tank pump-outs with per-gallon overage rates.
• Dig-to-locate & lid uncover labor fees: Add depth surcharges when digging through heavy turf to uncover buried septic tank access lids.
• Rural properties with zero cellular signal: Septic systems are primarily in rural homes with poor or zero cell reception. Work 100% offline.
• Municipal disposal and treatment manifest fees: Transparently pass through county wastewater treatment facility dumping fees to the customer.
