Dumpster brokers

The broker engine, built by brokers

Excern is run every day by a dumpster brokerage. The customer, the hauler, the quoted cost, the work link, the invoice read by AI and the margin are the product — not a tab bolted onto hauler software.

Network

Your haulers, their coverage, their rates

A directory of the haulers you work with: contacts, sizes, coverage, rate card, W-9, COI, agreement, payment terms. Pick the hauler on the job and the quoted cost sits next to the customer price from the start.

  • Rate cards by size; quoted cost on the job
  • W-9, COI and agreement on the hauler’s record
  • Bills from received to paid; 1099 report at year end

Dispatch

A work link, not a login

The hauler gets a secure link for that job only: confirm, report status, attach photos, upload the scale ticket. Your customer sees progress in their portal and never sees the hauler’s name.

  • Per-job links; reassign and the old one dies
  • Brand separation between customer and hauler
  • Review-before-send dispatch messages

Cost

Their invoice arrives. AI reads it. You approve it.

Hauler invoices land in the Inbox by email or upload. Excern extracts the hauler, the job, the amount and the tons, matches the work order and flags a split, a duplicate or an overage. Actual cost replaces the quote only when you approve it.

  • Email-in and upload
  • Split one PDF across several work orders
  • Customer overages from the hauler’s numbers, queued with evidence

Margin

Per job, per hauler, per month

Reports show what you sold, what the hauler charged, and the difference — with the part still waiting on an invoice marked as an estimate. A job closes when the hauler is paid and the customer has paid you.

  • Reconciliation queue for quoted vs actual
  • Margin by hauler and by customer
  • Closeout: service, ticket, hauler paid, customer paid

What hauler software gets wrong about brokers

Most platforms were built for a fleet and add a "vendor" field. Excern treats the subcontracted job as the main event.

Hauler software with a vendor field

  • The hauler’s cost is a number you type after the fact
  • The hauler has no way to report status or upload the ticket
  • The customer’s tonnage overage is guessed
  • Margin is whatever you remembered to enter

Excern’s broker engine

  • Quoted cost on the job from the rate card; actual from the invoice, read by AI
  • A no-login work link for status, photos and the scale ticket
  • Overages from the hauler’s numbers, queued with the evidence
  • Margin per job before and after the invoice, reconciled

What a brokerage gets

Hauler directory

Contacts, coverage, sizes, rate cards, documents, terms.

Work links

Per-job, no-login links for confirmation, status, photos, tickets.

Two phone lines

A customer line and a hauler line with missed-call text-back on each.

AI-read invoices

Extraction, matching, split and duplicate detection, your approval.

Quoted vs actual

On every job, with the difference flagged.

Customer overages

From the hauler’s tons and days; never auto-charged.
