Now assuming that your schedule is optimized and your pump jobs are assigned to waste manifests, let’s see Tank Track in action.
With tablet in hand, completing a morning route using Tank Track will look something like this.
Upon arrival at the first appointment, capture the current time, do the work, record any needed notes, and enter the pump volume. Then capture the END time and mark the invoice complete.
Completing the first invoice creates important changes elsewhere.
On the DAY Schedule, you will see three new things on the just completed appointment.
Note the start and end times, and the newly entered pump volume, just below the tank size.
You will also see a check mark indicating the job is complete.
On the Waste Manifest, you will now notice that the first invoice is marked complete, the pump volume now populates the pump volume field, and the yellow highlights have been removed.
You will then repeat the same process with the second and third jobs, making sure to record the start and end times, the job and technician’s notes, and the pump volumes.
You now have a full truck with three complete appointments and the schedule looks something like this. And the waste manifest will now look something like this.
The next step is to proceed to the waste site to dump the truck. On arrival, capture the current time. Then dump the waste. If you are at a facility that measures the waste volume, record it in the field provided. Record any notes, and have your technician sign electronically, if desired. Record the exit time and mark the manifest complete.
The Day Schedule now reflects a completed cycle with every pump job showing start and end times, a manifest number, tank size, pump volume, and Job Complete checkbox. The manifest shows the check mark as well.
This process allows you to quickly view the schedule to see if any of the expected elements are missing so you can quickly add the missing data while still fresh in memory.
