Rangefront Waste: septic and wastewater service software.

Rangefront Waste runs the day for a septic pumping or wastewater business: who’s on which job, what each council wants for a property, which systems are overdue, and whose invoice is still unpaid. It’s built for the trade, not a generic field-service app with the labels swapped out.

Software like this usually arrives as a per-seat subscription that climbs every time you put on staff. This doesn’t. You pay once to have it set up the way you work, and then it’s yours to run. It’s built in Toowoomba for Australian operators, so the council reporting follows local rules rather than an overseas template.

What it handles

One place for the whole job, from the first call to the paid invoice.

• Dispatch and run sheets. Plan the day, assign technicians, and watch jobs move to done without ringing around to find out what happened.
• Council reporting. Every council wants something slightly different. The forms and submissions are tracked so nothing sits overdue, and each job carries the proof it was done.
• Properties and systems. Every tank, trap and treatment system at every address, with its service history and what’s due next.
• Defects. Flag it on site, set how urgent it is, and it stays in front of someone until it’s closed.
• Invoicing. Bill the job, chase what’s owed, and push it through to Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks so nobody types the numbers twice.
• A field app. Technicians get their day on a phone and update the office as they go, instead of handing in a pile of dockets on Friday.

What it costs

Setting it up is a one-time A$8,500. That covers the install and configuration: your services, your council requirements, your branding, and your team trained on it.

After that, two things are optional, and both get quoted to your size rather than sold as a fixed plan:

• Support and maintenance. Updates, fixes, and someone to call when you need one.
• Hosting. We can run it for you, or set it up on your own server if you’d rather self-host. We’ll tell you which one works out cheaper.

No per-seat licence sits on top of any of that. Take on three more technicians over summer and the bill doesn’t move.

Where else it fits

Septic tanks aren’t the hard part of this software. The hard part is the structure under it: jobs booked against fixed assets at fixed addresses, work you have to sign off to a regulator, money that chases the job. Plenty of field service trades run that way. Grease traps, water-tank cleaning, pump maintenance, backflow testing. We can reshape Rangefront Waste, put your name on it, and point it at any of them. If that’s your business, tell us what you service and we’ll tell you how close the fit is.

See it running

There’s a live demo you can open right now, no sign-up: waste.rangefrontlabs.com.au. It’s loaded with sample customers, jobs, council reports and invoices, so you can click through dispatch, compliance and billing the way your office would. It’s read-only, so poke around as much as you like. When you want it set up with your own services and council rules, get in touch and we’ll scope the install.
