Your fleet, on rails.
Trucks, drivers, and every numbered container — planned on one board, tracked automatically, and billed from a single scale-ticket entry. No whiteboard, no re-keying, no “where's 4012?” calls.
Every box. Every move. Automatically.
A container is only ever in one of three places: at a yard, on the back of a truck, or sitting on a job site. Excern moves it for you — assign a box and it's reserved, complete the delivery and it's on site, run the swap and the old can rides the truck to the dump, then lands back at the yard the moment its scale ticket is recorded. A full movement history on every can, forever.
- Swap flow built in: drop one, take one on your back, dump, next stop
- Scale ticket → tonnage → customer overage, billed against the right box’s rate card
- Yard availability that’s actually true when you plan tomorrow
- Every work order carries the painted box number — no guessing which can went where
Drag, drop, dispatched.
Unassigned work on the left, driver lanes on the right, live yard inventory in the sidebar. Drag a job onto a driver and the truck, box, and route follow. A 7-day planner forecasts container and truck shortages before they bite, and late alerts fire before the customer calls you.
- Driver lanes with stop-by-stop timing for the whole day
- 7-day forecast: see the 30yd shortage on Tuesday, not Thursday morning
- Late alerts before the customer notices, not after they call
No new hardware. No training week.
Drivers open their day on the phone they already carry: every stop in order, with the address, the box number, and what to do when they get there. One tap moves the job — en route, on site, done — and the board updates live for the dispatcher. Photos and signatures attach straight to the work order, so the proof is on the job record before the truck leaves the curb.
- Route list in stop order — address, box number, gate codes, site notes
- One-tap status updates that move the dispatch board in real time
- Photo capture on every drop, swap, and pickup — proof attached to the job
- Works on the phone they already own; nothing to buy, nothing to mount
Live ETAs, not delivery windows.
Driver location from the cab's tablet feeds a live ETA on the dispatch board — and an arrival window your customer can actually plan around. No more “sometime between 8 and 5.” The dispatcher sees the truck move; the customer gets a text with a tight arrival window and a tracking link. Rolling out to Excern Dispatch.
- Live truck position feeds the board — every stop carries a real ETA, not a guess
- Customer gets an arrival-window text with a tracking link, automatically
- Late alerts recalculate from the road, before anyone has to call
Enter the ticket once. Everything else follows.
Most operations key the same scale ticket into three different places. In Excern it's one entry — and nothing auto-charges the customer without your approval.
Record the ticket
The driver or dispatcher keys in the ticket — or snaps a photo at the scale house.
Tonnage lands on the job
Weight attaches to the right work order and the right numbered box automatically.
Dump fee hits your cost
Per-material facility rates apply, so job profitability is real, not estimated.
Overage queued for review
Anything over the box’s allowance is teed up with evidence — you approve before it bills.
Built for operations with more than one home base.
Run multiple yards and Excern keeps each one's inventory straight — which cans live where, which truck stages from which lot. Add your landfills, transfer stations, and recycling facilities with per-material rates, and every dump run prices itself correctly without a rate sheet taped to the dash.
- Per-yard container inventory and availability
- Facilities with per-material dump rates — C&D, MSW, concrete, shingles
- Dump runs cost themselves against the right facility automatically
- Plan tomorrow from real counts, not memory
