QUESTIONS TO TEST
1. System history
Ask: Can the property record show tank type/location, prior pumping, access, findings and next service?
Demonstrate: Create a fictional property with two system components and verify a recurring job brings forward the right access and prior-service notes.
Observed result:
Follow-up:

2. Truck and route capacity
Ask: Can dispatch account for truck type, crew, travel and disposal stop as part of a route?
Demonstrate: Schedule two pumps and a disposal trip; add an urgent call and inspect duration, capacity and downstream arrival updates.
Observed result:
Follow-up:

3. Field report and disposal
Ask: Can the technician record volume, condition, disposal destination, photos and customer sign-off?
Demonstrate: Complete a sample work order offline, then sync and export the service record with timestamp and signature.
Observed result:
Follow-up:

4. Recurring and urgent billing
Ask: Can routine pumping intervals coexist with emergency calls, additional work and clear invoices?
Demonstrate: Move the next recurring service, add an approved extra task and invoice it separately from the routine service charge.
Observed result:
Follow-up:

DEMO SCENARIO (SYNTHETIC)
Run a pump route with an urgent call and disposal stop
1. Create a customer property with a fictional septic system record, access directions and previous pump date.
2. Dispatch a pump truck for a routine visit and plan the disposal stop with one additional nearby job.
3. Add an emergency call, record measured service notes and customer approval from a mobile device, then sync it.
4. Generate the service report, schedule the next visit from the recorded history and reconcile charges and disposal documentation.

MIGRATION
Plan a controlled data move
Import sites and system identifiers, prior service and tank notes, customer access instructions, recurring intervals, open jobs, truck and crew assignments, disposal locations, field reports, invoices and balances. Reconcile active routes and recurring due dates against dispatch records; verify any required manifest or local report format with qualified staff.

A POSSIBLE FIRST BUILD
Software does not determine whether a system is safe, identify environmental hazards or establish disposal compliance. Trained operators must follow applicable health, environmental, transport and reporting requirements.
