BinFlow

Software for running a one-truck dumpster rental business, on your own computer, bought once.

You bought it. It's yours. It can't be switched off, repriced, or discontinued.

Runs on your own computer. Your customers, your jobs, your invoices — all in a file on your machine, not on somebody's server.

Who it's for

You run the business off a notebook, a whiteboard and your phone. One truck. Maybe a driver. You take the calls yourself.

The credential

I ran a one-truck roll-off operation in Georgia. I owned it, I answered the phones, and I built the routes for my driver. I built this because I couldn't buy it.

The full can that gets promised to tomorrow's caller

You pick up at 4:15. The station stopped taking loads at 3:30. That container is sitting on your truck, still full, and it isn't going anywhere until tomorrow.

Saturday morning somebody calls wanting a 20. Every list you've got says you have one free.

This software knows the difference between a container that's back and a container that's empty. It won't offer you one you can't deliver.

The day that falls apart

It rains. The truck's in the shop. A pickup gets refused because the load's mounded over the rim — and now the empty you were going to set can't go on either.

Move the whole day to Thursday in one action. And when a swap moves, both halves move together — you can't end up with the pickup on Thursday and the delivery still sitting on Tuesday.

The overage argument

"You charged me an extra $190." It's the most argued-about line on any dumpster invoice, and you're answering it from memory a fortnight later.

The weight ticket is attached to the charge. Gross, tare, net, the site, the date, and a photo of the ticket, sitting next to the line item it produced. You email it and the argument's over.

And when the charges are done, you finalise the invoice — after that it doesn't quietly change.

The price

The monthly ones are $99. That's $1,188 a year, every year.

$697. Once.

Three years in, that's $3,564 against $697.

There are free ones. Free is free right up until the company gets bought, changes its mind, or closes — and then your customer list, your job history and your invoices are on their server, not yours. What $697 buys you is that this can't happen to you.

The first year of updates and support is included in the price.

After that first year, everything keeps working exactly as it did. If you want another year of updates and priority help, it's $149. If you don't, nothing changes about the software you own.

More on price and licence terms.

The terms

Try it free for 30 days. Buy it, and you've got another 30 to change your mind.

Support is by email. You'll get a reply within one business day, usually overnight. There's no phone number and no live chat — one person can't answer a phone honestly, so I don't pretend to.

Who it isn't for

This isn't for you if you're running five trucks and three dispatchers, if you need drivers on their own phones, or if you want to take card payments through the software. That's a different product and it isn't finished yet.

I'll send you a short walkthrough of the software and let you know when it's available.
