Work Orders

What is a Work Order?

A Work Order assists your team in monitoring a particular request that a Vendor is tasked with completing. Practical examples of a Work Order include tasks like an "empty and return" for a rolloff or an "extra pickup" for a front-load container.

Work Orders must be related to a specific Service level.

Work Orders can be confirmed and auto-updated by any of the following:

  • Vendor Invoice Line Items
  • Sensor readings from Pioneer Compactor Monitors
  • User input
