Related Quotes – Customer Service
“The call center has no idea on what container is available and where it is available”
“We are sending out dirty or broken containers”
“We have many customers that call for temp roll-off with a delivery guarantee and
since we can’t confirm a delivery, they hang up and go to our competitors”
“We are getting requests for same day delivery and turning them down”
Definition of a “lost” asset
A “lost” or “stolen” asset is an asset that is no longer
working for you or doesn’t have the potential to work for you (not in inventory). But, it may be working for someone else (your customer “on your
dime” or competitor)!
Servicing Non Paying Accounts
o Contributing Factors: • No system to Reconcile Assets to Billable Accounts• No system to proactively track inventory levels• No visibility of asset condition and/or location
o Commercial Container Example: • ~3% of accounts are incorrectly billed for service (customer has larger container compared to billing record)
o Impact on Business:• Represents an average industry annual revenue loss of $28.8MM (average rate variance of $20 per size) • Increased one-time industry capital cost of $18MM (average of $150 cost variance per size) • Combined $46.8 MM impact on industry in this category
Costs Associated with the Problem
Capital Losso Contributing Factors:
• Limited Labor Focused on Managing Assets• No Service Verification Tied to the Asset• Inefficient Systems and Processes for Retrieving Assets on Collection Day• Stash Yards (specific to roll-off)
o Roll-out Cart Example: • Estimated that 2 % are “lost” annually (higher percentages in subscription markets ~5%)
o Impact on Business:• Represents an average industry annual capital loss of $100MM in the world of residential carts

Every asset you purchase should have a purpose – it should be “working” for you
should fall into a bucket

– i.e.. Container that is damaged and beyond
warranty
Generating revenue as additional service at existing account
Replacing a “lost” or “stolen” asset
