Typical number of back-and-forth texts to get a photo for a quote

You started a hauling business to be on the move, not chained to a phone and a spreadsheet.

No-quote-needed bookings that turn into disputes over scope

A customer books a 'small pickup' online. You arrive to find a full garage cleanout. Now you're stuck in the driveway, renegotiating the price and throwing the whole day's schedule off.

Commercial client billing without a contract system

You service three locations for a property management company, each with different pickup schedules and invoicing needs. It's all tracked in a spreadsheet, and you spend hours a month manually creating and sending invoices.

No route optimization for back-to-back jobs

You have three jobs in the same part of town, but the booking system scheduled them at 9 AM, 1 PM, and 4 PM. That's hours of wasted driving and fuel, and a truck sitting idle between appointments.

Slow days with no fill campaign system

Next Tuesday is wide open. You know you have hundreds of past customers who might need a pickup, but you don't have a system to quickly text them with a 'Same-Day Service' offer.

AGENT SPOTLIGHT

See your agents in action.

Quoting Agent

Get a photo, send a quote, win the job — in 5 minutes.

A potential customer texts asking for a quote to clear out an old office space. The agent asks for a photo. The customer sends it. The agent analyzes the volume, identifies the items (desks, chairs, electronics), calculates the truck space needed, and sends back a firm, itemized quote based on your price book. The customer approves it on the spot.

Route Optimizer

Turn three jobs into a single, profitable run.

You have three pickups scheduled for tomorrow in neighboring towns. The agent automatically re-orders them into the most efficient route, saving you 90 minutes of drive time and a quarter tank of gas. It even texts the customers with updated, tighter arrival windows.

Marketing Agent

Fill a slow Tuesday with a single tap.

Your schedule for next week looks light. The agent identifies this and drafts a text campaign to all customers you haven't seen in 6+ months, offering a 10% discount on any pickup booked in the next 48 hours. You review the message and the customer list, and approve it with one tap.

YOUR AI TEAM

6 agents. Built for junk removal pros.

Front Desk Agent

Answers every call, text, and web lead, 24/7. Asks for photos to qualify volume, distinguishes between a single-item pickup and a full estate cleanout, and provides instant, accurate quotes based on your price book. Schedules the job and collects a deposit without you lifting a finger.

Quoting Agent

Analyzes customer photos of junk piles to estimate volume in cubic yards or truck fractions (1/4, 1/2, full truck). Prices jobs instantly based on your configured rates for different materials like construction debris, furniture, or e-waste. Generates and sends formal quotes for commercial clients.

Route Optimizer

Builds the most efficient daily routes for your trucks, minimizing drive time and fuel costs. Groups jobs by neighborhood and automatically adjusts schedules as new jobs come in. Sends drivers their optimized route each morning.

Collections Agent

Invoices commercial clients automatically based on their contract terms. Sends homeowners a payment link the moment a job is marked complete. Follows up on unpaid invoices so you don't have to make awkward calls about a mattress pickup from three weeks ago.

Reputation Agent

Sends a review request via text as soon as payment is confirmed. Monitors your Google and Yelp profiles for new reviews and drafts responses. Alerts you to negative feedback before it becomes a public-facing review.

Marketing Agent

Identifies slow days on your calendar and automatically drafts fill-in campaigns to past customers. Can target specific segments, like offering a discount on yard debris removal in the spring, or construction debris removal to contractor clients.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Quoting Agent give a firm price from just a photo?

Yes. It analyzes the items and density in the photo to estimate the space it will take up in your truck (e.g., 1/4 load, 1/2 load) and quotes based on your pre-set prices for those volumes. This avoids on-site price disputes.

How does the Route Optimizer handle a last-minute job?

If a new, high-value job comes in, the agent can automatically find the nearest truck and see if it can be slotted into the existing route without causing major delays. It will ask for your approval before confirming.

Can I set different pricing for commercial vs. residential clients?

Yes. You can create separate price books for different client types. The agent will automatically apply the correct pricing when quoting a job for a contracted commercial client.

Does the system generate donation and recycling receipts?

You can mark items as designated for donation or special recycling. The agent can then automatically generate the necessary documentation for the customer after the job is complete.

How does it handle jobs that require more than one truck?

For large-scale cleanouts (like an estate or a large office), the agent can schedule multiple trucks and crews, coordinating their arrival and ensuring you have the capacity to handle the job efficiently.

Does Sterling integrate with my accounting software?

Yes, we offer integrations with QuickBooks Online and Xero. Invoices and payments are synced automatically, eliminating double entry.

Can my drivers use this on their phones?

Absolutely. Drivers get a simple mobile interface showing their daily route, job details, and customer contact info. They can mark jobs complete and even add photos of the finished work.

How is this different from a simple booking calendar?

Booking calendars just schedule appointments. Sterling manages your entire back office — it quotes the job, optimizes the route, handles billing, and even markets for you during slow periods. It's a team of agents, not just a calendar.

Can I import my customer list from another system?

Yes. You can import your existing customer list via a CSV file. Our system will help you map the fields to ensure all your data comes across correctly.

Is there a contract or can I cancel anytime?

There are no long-term contracts. You can cancel your subscription at any time. We also offer a 14-day free trial to make sure it's the right fit for your business.
