Building software for waste management
Over the years, I've created various solutions for the waste industry, from customer-facing platforms to driver mobile apps. Here's a look at some key projects, including upcoming micro-SaaS solutions currently in development.
eMobile Driver Platform
PublishedThe industry's first Android driver app that revolutionized waste fleet technology. Built by a driver for drivers, eMobile replaced expensive custom hardware with off-the-shelf devices, making mobile technology accessible to fleets of all sizes. Built for Core Computing Solutions, which was acquired by Routeware where it remains a successful application today.
Year: 2011-2020
Technology: Java (Android), .NET API, React (web frontend)
Wastemate Customer Self-Service Platform
PublishedOne of the waste industry's first customer-facing self-service platforms, enabling automated service requests and account management. A complete reimagining of how customers interact with waste management companies. Ahead of its time.
Year: 2014-2018
Technology: ASP.NET MVC, JavaScript, .NET, SQL Server
HaulerPhone
In DevelopmentA simple call center dashboard that gives waste hauler CSRs instant caller context before they say hello. Multiple haulers requested this exact solution - transforming phone support from reactive to proactive. Not a system replacement, just a context helper that layers onto existing systems. Launching first week of September. Pricing: $49/month (1-10 CSRs), $99/month (11-30 CSRs), $199/month (30+ CSRs).
Year: 2025
Technology: Next.js, TypeScript, Cloudflare
Weighven
PausedA complete re-think of scale house and material tracking for waste processing facilities. Development paused temporarily to focus on HaulerPhone, which addresses a more immediate market need. Will resume after HaulerPhone launch.
Year: 2025
Technology: Next.js, .NET 9 microservices
Project Beta
FutureA simple geospatial system that helps haulers manage their service configurations and pricing across complex territories. Especially useful in California where local regulations create account setup nightmares in legacy systems. This is where I'll really embed AI at the center of a micro-SaaS solution.
Year: 2025
Technology: Next.js, AI/ML, Geospatial APIs
What Pain Points Can I Solve Next?
While I have HaulerPhone in active development and Project Beta planned for the future, I'm actively building my list of industry pain points to tackle. What daily friction points slow down your operations? What manual processes eat up time that could be automated? What information do you wish you had at your fingertips?
I want to hear from haulers, facility operators, municipality leaders, drivers, and customer service teams. Your real-world challenges become my next micro-SaaS solutions.Get in touch.
