1. Initial Setup

Configure your company details and review your standard dumpster sizes (10y, 20y, 30y, etc.).

Let's get your house in order.

Before you create your first order, it is important to ensure that BinCommand knows exactly how your business operates.

When you created your account, we automatically configured the basics for you. Now, let's review and fine-tune your settings.

1. Company Profile

Navigate to Settings > Company in the main menu.

Here you should verify:

  • Company Name: This will appear on all your invoices and customer communications.

  • Support Phone & Email: These are the contact details your customers will see.

  • Address: Ensure your yard or office address is correct, as this serves as the starting point for map logistics.

💡 Tip: Keeping this information up-to-date ensures your drivers and customers always have the correct contact info.


2. Dumpster Inventory (Sizes)

BinCommand manages inventory primarily by Size/Type. You don't need to add every single serial number right now to get started.

We have pre-loaded your account with the standard industry sizes:

  • 10 Yards

  • 15 Yards

  • 20 Yards

  • 30 Yards

  • 40 Yards

  • 50 Yards

How to customize:

If you have unique sizes (e.g., "12 Yard Trailer" or "Concrete Washout"):

  1. Go to Settings > Inventory.

  2. Click Add New Size.

  3. Enter the label (e.g., "6yd Dirt").

If you do not offer a specific size (e.g., you don't carry 50-yarders), simply delete or archive it from the list to keep your dispatch menu clean.


3. Rental Rules & Alerts

This is the "brain" of the automation.

  • Default Rental Days: Set your standard rental period (e.g., 7 days, 14 days).

    • How it works: If you deliver a bin on the 1st, the system automatically marks it as "Due for Pickup" on the 8th.

  • Overdue Alerts: When enabled, the system will highlight bins that are past their rental period in Red on your map, reminding you to either pick them up or charge an extension fee.


4. Invite your Team (Optional)

You don't have to do this alone.

  1. Go to Settings > Team.

  2. Click Invite Member.

  3. Add your Dispatcher or Drivers.

  • Drivers: They will get a simplified view (Mobile App) to see only their assigned tasks.

  • Admins/Dispatchers: They will have access to the Dashboard and Map.


✅ You are ready!

Your system is configured. Now, let's add your first customer and get to work.
