ROCKFORD, Ill. - s4story -- RouteHouse, the field-service software from NextForge, today announced expanded capabilities in its Septic Pumping Edition, software built around the report septic pumpers already fill out by hand. Technicians complete the service report at the tank and email it to the homeowner, with the office copied, before leaving the property.

The edition was developed with a working septic operator and starts from the paper form rather than a generic work order. Each report captures tank size, number of compartments, baffle condition, effluent filter status and gallons pumped, prefilled from the company's price list and the property's last visit. Photos attach to the job, and the app warns the driver when pumped gallons approach the truck's configurable capacity.

"In septic, that paper report is the business," said Shaun McCarren, founder of NextForge. "We put it on a tablet, made it work with no signal at the tank, and made sure it's in the customer's inbox before the hose is rolled up."

Pro users can save GPS pins for the lid, pump chamber, junction box and drain field to the property record, so the next crew walks straight to it. A property registry auto-numbers addresses and keeps tank size, owner and full service history searchable.

Disposal manifests and trip tickets tie each load to its job and disposal site with gallons, weight ticket, hauler permit and signature. For Maryland operators, the Pro plan completes all 19 sections of the state's OSDS property-transfer inspection on the tablet and produces the PDF report. Other forms are available on request.

Growth and Pro plans add repair, service and installation jobs, service-due reminders that show upcoming revenue, and QuickBooks Online sync. Restroom, grease trap and sewer and drain editions run in the same app on the same truck.
