Waste Management

You don't have to learn how to use AI in your waste company. We build it into the software you already run.

You don't have to learn AI to keep routes and commercial accounts tight. ChatGPT is not in the exception list or the missed pickup from this morning. Cortex builds agents into the hauling software you already run.

Agents watching

  • Exception watch
  • Account health
  • Extras and inbound

Does this sound familiar?

The stalls we hear in this trade every week.

01

Missed pickups become reviews

The exception sat. The customer posted before the truck came back.

02

Commercial accounts churn quietly

A restaurant went to the next hauler. Nobody saw the tickets piling up.

03

Extra lifts never hit the invoice

A sofa, an overflow, a Saturday. The route did the work. Billing didn't.

04

New service requests sit in voicemail

A dumpster for a remodel. Speed is the sale.

A day with Cortex

What a day looks like with agents on

An example day. The agents work inside your phone line, CRM, field software and books. Anything that spends money or makes a promise waits for a person.

Named tools are examples we see in this trade, not a certified integration list. What we can connect depends on APIs, vendor access, and the audit. We do not replace these systems.
