Best for portable toilet, septic and dumpster firms
ServiceCore covers jobs, routing, recurring billing and a driver app for portable toilet, septic, grease trap and dumpster businesses. No price is published, an annual contract and a one-time implementation fee apply, and it only suits those trades.
Who ServiceCore is for
- Fits if you run portable restrooms, septic or dumpsters and bill on repeat
- Works for firms that want routing and billing in the same system
Who ServiceCore is not for
- Skip it if you are in any other trade, as it is built for these few
- Not for you if you want a price before a sales call, as none is published
- Watch out: annual contract plus a one-time implementation fee
- Watch out: the portal, SMS and Pro reports need the Pro plan, and digital marketing costs extra
- Tight if you need to be running this month, since setup takes 6 to 12 weeks
Why ServiceCore gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published. A rep quotes per truck, on an annual contract plus an implementation fee, so there is nothing to compare.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial on record, and nothing is priced until you talk to a rep.
- CFeaturesCustomer and job records, routing, billing, inventory and a driver app. The customer portal, SMS and Pro reports need the Pro plan.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and the vendor puts setup at about 6 to 12 weeks.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only on record, with QuickBooks Online as the one integration.

Keep ServiceCore, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of ServiceCore you could make: job scheduling, invoicing, inventory, reports and appointment booking. What surrounds it you could not. The 0 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 82 of the 87 other field service apps grade higher.
What you could make
- Job scheduling, invoicing, inventory, reports and appointment booking: an app builder makes these well.
What this rests on. ServiceCore’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is ServiceCore?
ServiceCore is operations software for portable restroom, septic, grease trap and dumpster businesses. It covers customer and job records, scheduling and routing, recurring billing, inventory and a driver mobile app, and its billing syncs with QuickBooks Online. Pricing is quoted per truck by a sales rep, and a one-time implementation fee applies.
Worth knowing
- No prices are published: a rep builds a quote from the number of trucks on the road, the plan and add-ons.
- Billed monthly under an annual contract, plus a one-time implementation fee for data migration and training.
- The vendor puts setup at about 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the size of the business.
- The customer portal, SMS messaging and Pro reports need the Pro plan; digital marketing is a paid add-on.
Key features
- Customer and job management
- Delivery, recurring service and pickup jobs can be created while on a call, with each customer's billing, job history and driver notes in one record.
- Scheduling, routing and dispatch
- Jobs are scheduled against what is available and routed for the trucks on the road. Every plan includes scheduling, routing and dispatching.
- Billing and receivables
- Invoices and statements go out in batches, including billing on 28-day cycles for rentals. Billing syncs with QuickBooks Online.
- Unit and inventory tracking
- Inventory management is on every plan, and the vendor describes seeing each unit on a map for portable restroom and dumpster fleets.
- Driver mobile app
- Drivers get a mobile app for the field. The vendor's pricing page lists it on both the Grow and Pro plans.
- Customer portal, SMS and Pro reports
- The Pro plan adds a portal where customers book and pay online, texting from inside the system, and deeper reporting.
