Action Carting streamlines billing to save money and time

Page 2 • WASTE HANDLING EQUIPMENT NEWS WEST • October 2012

by Mitch Rose, vice president of Marketing and Billing Strategy, Billtrust Action Carting Environmental Services, a leading solid waste and recycling collector in the metropolitan New York City area is a recent winner of the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce Global Green Award. Action Carting serves some of the city’s most recognizable facilities, including the Empire State Building, Yankee Stadium and the New York Mets’ Citi Field. The company works with hospitals, construction firms, restaurants and businesses of all types, and as a result, it processes approximately 13,000 invoices each month some for less than $100 for the smaller customers and some for more than $50,000 for the larger clients.

At one time, Action Carting processed invoices through an outside printing service. This service created and transmitted PDF files for the printer to print.

Then they were stuffed and mailed. At times, the process included special handling instructions printed on stickers, as a way to inform processors, of exceptions to normal billing rules.

Action Carting’s Chief Financial Officer, Brian Giambagno, assessed that billing process, noting the inefficient way of handling this manual processes, the lost communication opportunities because of a lack of dynamic invoice messaging capabilities during this process, and he also discovered Action Carting’s lack of eBilling for the cus-

tomer base. More importantly, Action Carting was not using data contained in the invoices to manage their billing process more effectively.

Toward a more efficient billing process After his review, Giambagno decided to find a new solution - one that would cut costs and streamline core processes. Giambagno and his team explored several options, and ultimately decided to ask three companies for proposals on how to meet their billing goals.

Three companies, the incumbent company who was doing the billing, a second billing solutions provider and Billtrust, each submitted proposals.

After thorough consideration, Action Carting selected Billtrust, because Billtrust proposed a technology solution rather than solving the issue as a printing challenge.

Getting results with a total technology solution At the onset, Billtrust worked closely with Action Carting to identify their billing needs. They wanted to streamline core business functions and reduce costs. Billtrust also wanted to identify ways to use data contained in the invoices to improve overall business operations. Some of the ways included sustainability goals and customer communications.

“Customer satisfaction is our top objective,” says Giambagno. “Billtrust helped us redesign our invoices and

create a format that enables us to communicate with our customers more effectively. This was huge for us since we often need to convey information like holiday pickup schedules. Now we can print it right on the invoice. That re-

duces phone inquiries.”

Because Action Carting emphasizes sustainability, and it is a top objective for many of their customers as well,

Action 3

Action from 2 they were able to develop a paperless billing process that was easy for their customers to use.

They realized that a paperless billing process not only reduces the cost and environmental impact of bill printing, it eliminates the logistics involved in bill delivery.

Their goal to convert their customers from paper to E-billing was 25 for the first year. Within six months, 32 percent of Ac-

tion Carting’s customers had converted to electronic billing. That cut the payment cycle by seven days. The reason they exceeded the initial goal was in part due to Billtrust conducting a proactive phone campaign.

Billtrust also created an online portal that Action Carting’s customers can use to view and print their own bills.

Now, instead of calling

the Action Carting billing department to request a new bill when an invoice is misplaced, customers can access it online themselves.

The new automated approach also eliminates the need to affix special handling stickers to bills manually. Today when Action Carting needs to provide exception handling rules, they go into the invoice automatically.

Savings and benefits that go beyond the bottom line Besides tangible cost savings such as elimination of postage fees and printing costs, the Billtrust solution delivered many “soft cost” savings as well. Giambagno reports that the billing department is more focused now that team members can devote their time to tasks other than answering phone calls and printing bills. Now, as the company grows and adds new customers, they can handle the increased workload without adding new staff.

Invoice messaging has also resulted in higher levels of customer satisfaction now that they are able to communicate in this new way. Customers know in advance, what to expect when holidays roll

around. The company no longer has to handle calls at the level it once did.

Action Carting Marketing Analyst Jenna DiBella says that the invoice messaging capability has also bolstered the company’s social media outreach efforts: “We engage with customers on social media platforms like Twitter, which allows us to exchange important information and solicit feedback and ideas.

Through invoice messaging, we can remind our customers about these communication channels and drive additional traffic, allowing us to expand the two-way communication opportunities.”

Ron Dokell, a founder and charter member of the National Association of Demolition Contractors passed away over the weekend in Houston.

Ron was one of the first contractors to realize that there was a need for an organization to represent demolition contractors in the United States and Canada. He worked diligently to develop an association to meet the needs of everyone involved in the demolition process. He was a member of the Association’s first executive committee and served as its third president. He was instrumental in developing the programs that allowed the organization to attract new members and to grow the necessary infrastructure to become an important part of the construction association movement in both countries. He also served on the NADC’s first safety committee and was deeply involved with the development of its Demolition Safety Program and Demolition Safety Manual.

Ron’s obituary with service details will appear shortly on the Houston Chronicle’s website at www.chron.com Ralph David Loewendick of S.G. Loewendick and Sons of Columbus passed away on Mon., Sept. 3.

Ralph, like Mr. Dokell, was a charter member of the NADC and directly involved with the development of the Association from its earliest days when it had only 40 or 50 member firms. Ralph’s son,

Large rock coming off the Powerscreen Warrior 1800 goes directly into this haul truck and when full is taken and dumped on the stockpile to be washed with rock of this size. Jeff said that because there are not large quantities of this size stone, the need to stockpile it here and then move it later via front end loader, is eliminated.

That was in 2010.

In a little over 18 months, the operation has grown considerably.

“We started out with the equipment that the previous owner was using and it didn’t take long to realize that we needed to upgrade our plant if we were going to be successful,” said Jeff. “He was looking for one specific sized stone and we could see that there was a market for everything that was coming from the site. As time has passed, we’ve continued to upgrade.”

“We started with a Powerscreen Mark II Screen that Greg had been using on his farm and other personal projects. It wasn’t long before we went to Powerscreen Mid-Atlantic, Inc. and bought the Powerscreen Commander 1400 that we are using today,” he said.

“About six months later, we could see that we needed more screening capability so we got the Warrior 1800.

We were using a Greystone coarse material washer, but that model we had wasn’t big enough to do the job. So late last year, we added the KPI-JCI PHB 1800 Blade Mill and Triple Deck Screen system to clean the rock as it comes off the Warrior 1800.”

Meanwhile, Jeff said that in January of 2012, they decided to revamp the entire layout to make it more efficient and more productive. So, he began by fabriScreened and washed Virginia Brown River Rock like that taken from Triple B Stone's facility, makes excellent TripleB 11 cover for landscaping projects.

cating the load out hopper that sits atop a dumping ramp built into the hillside that leads into the clearing above the operation.

“My steel construction experience came in handy for a number of projects around here, that load out hopper being one of them,” he said. “Now we can unload the haul trucks directly. Before this hopper, we needed to handle the rock an additional time.

Now, the rock is dumped into the vibratory hopper and it moves directly into the screening system.”

The work done thus far, demonstrates Jeff’s ingenuity and experience in steel fabrication and equipment installation. He noted that one of his earliest projects was building a heavy duty steel bridge that traverses Dry Run Creek, leading back to the portion of the property where the mining of the rock actually takes place.

“We needed a bridge that would be able to hold the larger haul trucks that we were planning to use here,” he said. “So I built a 100 ton bridge that can handle the load. It has done the job and then some!”

The production process River rock and sand is dumped into the load out hopper, with the largest material passing over the grizzly and onto a conveyor sending it directly to a boulder stockpile. These eventually will be handwashed so that even rock of this size can be sold as a clean, washed material. Material that passes through the grizzly goes directly onto the Powerscreen Warrior 1800.

There, material is screened into three sizes with the largest, 6 to 14-inch rock going into a haul truck to be taken to a stockpile. The 2 to 7-inch medium sized material moves onto the Commander 1400 where it is screened and washed with the under 2-inch passing through a Telsmith classifier log washer before being stockpiled.

The 2 to 4-inch and the 4 to 7-inch are washed, then conveyed to their respective stockpiles as well.

The 1-3/4-inch material screened through the Warrior 1800 conveys up and through the KPI-JCI 24-foot x 16-foot Blade Mill, then passes over its Triple deck, twin-screw sand screen system, giving them four washed products: Sand, pea gravel, 1/2 to3/4-inch and 3/4 to 1-3/4-inch.

“When we are in full production, we have the capacity to run about 300 tons per hour,” said Jeff.

“Right now, we are running in the 200 to 220 ton per hour range.”

Jeff said that the operation currently employs seven to ten people depending on the season. As sales

increase, the workforce increases accordingly.

“Jack Davidson, our mine foreman and his son ‘Beau’ operates the equipment and handle the daily operations. My daughter Megan is here for the summer doing administrative work as she takes a break from her studies at college. I oversee the operations here and take one or two days away from the plant doing sales work.” Jeff commutes regularly between Mooresville, NC and Speedwell, VA, which allows him to oversee the operation and do sales work in their primary market as well.

“Greg likes to come in to spend a day when he can,” said Jeff. “He likes to operate the machinery. He’s an excellent equipment operator as well as being a champion race car driver. During the racing season, his schedule is usually very full. So, he doesn’t visit here as often as we would like.”

For more information about Triple B Stone, visit their website at www.triplebstone.com or give Jeff a call at 704-664-3464.

One of the first tasks for Jeff was to build this heavy duty bridge that traverses Dry Run Creek. Haul trucks go to and from the mining site over this bridge.

Jack Davidson works carefully to move 6 to 14-inch rock, as it is being hand washed.

Adam Logan of Mid-Atlantic Powerscreen (L) and Greg Biffle, driver of the No. 16 3M Ford Fusion for Roush Fenway Racing in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series (R), promote Powerscreen equipment at the AGG-1 and World of Asphalt Expo in Charlotte, NC earlier this year.

by Jon M. Casey For Adam Logan, then sales representative for Powerscreen Mid-Atlantic, Inc., the opportunity to work with NASCAR racecar driver Greg Biffle, and Greg’s brother Jeff, to help create a first class decorative stone mining and processing plant, was a challenging yet rewarding experience as a salesperson. That was in 2010 and 2011. Today, Adam serves as regional sales manager for Powerscreen Mid-Atlantic, Inc. and is pleased with the results.

“Greg owned a Powerscreen Mark II that he was using on some of his properties as he was doing some cleanup work,” said Adam.

“The deposit at Triple B Stone contains a 24-inch minus materi-

al, and the equipment that he had when he started the operation, was not sufficient to process that material. Greg wanted to do more than scalp off the larger material.”

Adam said that Greg was looking for something like the Warrior 1800 with an open throat design that could handle enough tonnage to keep up with the rest of his plant. He also wanted to be able to move the equipment around easily when he needed to modify his overall plant layout. The Warrior 1800 has been the perfect equipment for the job.

“The Commander 1400 rinser cleans the 5-inch and 2-inch rock giving him two clean products off that machine,” said Adam. The other material goes over to the

other side of the Warrior 1800 where it is cleaned and screened with the other washing and screening system. With the Powerscreen 1800 and 1400 units, Triple B Stone has an excellent primary and secondary screening system in their operation.

“We enjoy working with Triple B Stone,” he said. “Our new sales representative for that area, Justin Hawksworth, is eager to help them refine their operation and increase sales to landscapers throughout the area.”

Optimism... Where is the Optimism?

Op-Ed by Dave Whitelaw While researching for this month’s “Hey, GrinderGuy” article, I was struck by the responses I received and the respondent’s utter lack of optimism in our industry’s business community. “Would you could you if you could? Would you could you if you should?” I asked in a Dr. Seuss kind of way. Where is the optimism?

I didn’t find any! There is no excitement. There are no lofty projections.

“We are trying to get by,” I heard. “We are holding our own,” people have said. “We are trying to maintain,” others replied.

These are the kinds of things I am hearing out in the business community.

If the Democrat Guy gets reelected, does that mean we are going to fold up and walk away? There is no doubt the vast majority of business owners are Republicans. At least according to my observations, in this business they are.

If the Republican is elected, it would certainly change the attitude of these owners, however, we are still in the same ballgame. We will just have a different pitcher.

We will still have the same debt, the same two party system, and the same Congress.

What’s the basic problem? To my thinking, there are no “free rides.”

Somewhere, this truth has gotten lost. Children no longer seem to be taught that hard works pays off and gets you anywhere you want to go if you work for it.

So, what is going to create optimism for everyone? What will create a sense that we are going in the right direction? I’m not certain. We better figure it out soon, while we still have a chance.

Hey GrinderGuy, help me salvage my season!

Hey Charlie, you are not alone. Did you see the video message from Scotts Miracle-Gro Company® CEO Jim Hagedorn? http://thescottsmiraclegrocompany.com/6-1212_Video_Message.html This video pretty much sums up everybody’s season in the Lawn and Garden Industry.

Weather is the number one driving force every year. This year is no different. We started off well, then crashed and burned soon after. Now what?

I spoke to a half dozen business owners and found a few things to consider to help us salvage the year. Here are some of those ideas: • Inventory — This one is pretty easy. Reduce inventories, not only for your finished products, but for your raw materials as well. Limit your ordering. Have a sale. Lower contract prices to in-

crease shipments.

• Renegotiate — Your suppliers are in the same boat that you are. Renegotiate to stock your inventory at a lower dollar value. This will lower your average cost per unit across the board and it will increase your profit next year.

• Don’t be afraid to lay seasonal workers off early.

It can be a long, expensive

Winter. If you don’t have the work, let them go.

• “Get rid of your leeches” — This advice came from a friend in Atlanta.

It will save you the stress next year. If customers don’t pay, send them packing. Slow pay is no pay. Let them go. You are not a bank. Next year you will be much happier.

• Work with Friends — Friends make you money

and support you when you need it. Buy their material and offer them bargains in return.

• Find new clients — Maybe your old clients are not selling like they use to. Get going finding some new ones.

Last year’s drought of raw materials in the Mulch business has given way to a flood of material and cheaper prices this year. At the same time, it seems people do not have the money to carry that

material for the winter.

That is leaving a lot of suppliers high and dry.

Work with your suppliers to help keep them afloat.

You will need them sooner or later. Pay your bills in full when possible. Paying half now and half later, only pays half the bills instead of all of them.

I hope this helps, Charlie. Good Luck to you and your friends.

Grillo Services extends container division Purchases first Caterpillar brand roll off truck sold in Connecticut MILFORD, CT — In an expansion of its container division, Grillo Services, LLC is the first Connecticut business to purchase Caterpillar’s new CT660 commercial truck in a roll off configuration.

The purchase will enable Grillo to increase its solid waste disposal division to serve municipal, commercial and residential customers, and provide expanded services to tree removal and large scale landscape companies, saving them time and money in tree removal and organic recycling.

The custom built, sleek, ergonomical-

ly designed Caterpillar CT660, model year 2012, features Caterpillar’s CX31 transmission for increased fuel mileage as well as a set back front axle with a shorter wheel base, allowing for a better turning radius and greater cab visibility.

Caterpillar had previously only manufactured diesel truck engines for truck chassis made by Ford, International, PACCAR and Freightliner. Just this past year, the company began manufacturing their own trucks, following an extended period of road testing.

“This purchase will help Grillo Services expand our container division, offering clients one stop shopping,” said

Scale model of Otis Shovel to be raffled BOWLING GREEN, OHIO — The Historical Construction Equipment Association (HCEA), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the history of the construction, announces that one of its 1:10 scale Otis railroad shovel models will be raffled.

Designed in 1835 and patented in 1839, the Otis Steam Shovel is the earliest known land based single bucket excavator. Originally built for use in railroad construction by the contracting firm in which inventor William S. Otis was a partner, it remained in production in small numbers until the early 1910s. The design concept of a railroad mounted shovel whose boom swung approximately ninety degrees left and right was continued by several manufacturers into the late 1920s, and its digging action is seen in today’s cable and hydraulic operated shovels.

The 1:10 scale model features a swinging boom, extending and retracting dipper stick, rolling wheels and operational levers, gears, drums and bucket trip, and comes on a section of railroad track for exhibit. It is the first of a series of scale models being produced exclusively for the HCEA, and was introduced at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2011.

The model sells for $4,500, but raffle tickets are available for $5 each. All proceeds will go to fund development of additional models of historic equipment. Tickets are available from the HCEA at

www.hcea.net, or by calling the HCEA office at 419-352-5616. The drawing will be held Sept. 15, 2012, at the HCEA’s membership banquet in Bowling Green, Ohio, and the winner need not be present.

The HCEA was founded in 1986 and has over 4,300 members in twenty five countries. In addition to its magazine and hosting an annual working exhibition of restored construction equipment, it operates the National Construction Equipment Museum and archives in Bowling Green, Ohio. Individual memberships are $30 within the USA and Canada, and $40 US elsewhere. Information is available at www.hcea. net, or by calling 419-3525616 or e-mailing info@hcea.net.

The Historical Construction Equipment Association will raffle one of its Otis railroad shovel models.

She said that all residential yard waste was taken to a composting farm. Turnaround time was lengthy and they were forever behind in collections. Then in 2009, Newton negotiated a new contract and decided to bring all residential yard waste to the city’s closed landfill facility for composting. This saved more than $300,000 annually.

At that time, using the older methods, it took about 1-1/2 years to produce compost. “We used it for our own projects and only screened with a Reed Screenall,” she recalled. “A few years back, I rented a trommel from another community. We screened the compost, and sold it.”

With the new recycling contract, it was clear that Newton was going to produce more compost. That is when they decided to buy an ALLU screening bucket.

They used that one for about one year. Then, they purchased a second loader along with a second ALLU screening bucket. When the trommel screening contract came up for renewal, the Board of Aldermen decided that renting a trommel was not cost-effective so they agreed to buy a trommel for Gentile’s department. “I take in about 25,000-cubic-yards of material annually,” she said.

“The material is fully composted in less than one year and we would like to get that down to 5-6 months,” Gentile said. “When we get the yard waste, it is ALLUed (great verb!) and placed in stockpiles.

These stockpiles are then turned by a loader into windrows (approx 15-foot high and 10-foot wide and, depending on space, 75-100-foot long).

Workers take the material’s temperature on a weekMark Ferguson (L) and Paul Stevens (R), work together to make the City of Newton Recycling Center run Newton 21 smoothly.

Newton

from 20

ly basis and they maintain logs as part of the process.

The material is turned according to temperature and moisture content at the appropriate times, which also works well to kill weed seed. “We may ALLU several times,” Gentile said. “When the material is finished composting, it is screened to 3/4-inches and placed onto 50-cubic-yard trucks.”

“We have a contract with a man who has been in the business for more than 25 years,” she said. “He takes the temps, decides when to turn, when to stockpile, when to cure, and when to screen. He also does growing and soils testing on the product.”

Gentile said that her department gives screened compost to residents free and sells to soils manufacturers, organic nurseries, rooftop gardens and others. “It is tax subsidized, so we do make some revenue,” she added.

Large quantities of Newton’s recycled product are sold through a broker. “The material is picked up as we do not deliver,” notes Gentile. She also says that two ALLUs are enough for right now and there is no way to know what they might need in the future.

Newton considers itself, a “Green Community,” which has won numerous awards for its recycling program. They are usually on the cutting edge of things. For example, Newton is the first large community in MA to go to automated collection and SSR (Single Stream Recycling). They are also the first to have a waste oil collection program, and the first to have a permanent facility that is opened more than 21 days a year. Currently, they are investigating anaerobic digestion as a part of their waste recycling efforts, because it is “the right thing to do.” “Newton has not landfilled any MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) in more than 25 years,” she said.

Windrows of composting leaves will provide the community with high quality, composted mulch in just a few short months.

As bagged leaves are placed into the windrows of composting material, workers run it through one of two ALLU buckets to shred and screen the material.

Mark Ferguson processes material using a Volvo L120F outfitted with an ALLU screener bucket.

The ALLU equipment line is devoted to environmental care, improving recycling methods and the effective and profitable processing of different materials according to their company’s website. Allu’s headquarters and factory, is located in Orimattila, Finland where they oversee a distribution network that covers more than 30 countries worldwide. They have subsidiaries in Germany, France, Sweden, Great Britain, the United States, Argentina and China.

ALLU’s primary product line is the ALLU Screener Crusher bucket. This innovative product is a versatile accessory for wheel loaders, excavators or skid steer loaders. With the ALLU Screener Crusher bucket, you can screen,

crush, pulverize, aerate, blend, mix, separate, feed and load materials all in one process. It handles many types of material such as topsoil, black top and dirt, excavated and waste soil, contaminated soil, clay, peat, bark, compost, bio-waste, demolition waste, construction waste, milled asphalt, glass, coal, oil shale, limestone and several other materials. The ALLU Screener Crusher can screen and crush materials from 15 mm to 150 mm fragment sizes.

A new and emerging segment of their business is their soil stabilization system line of equipment.

This equipment adds binders to soft soil types to help stabilize them for more productive use.

Together, these two areas of expertise help to make the ALLU

Group a worldwide leader in this technology.

It might be noted that the company’s corporate philosophy is to operate in a way that produces added value for the customer.

ALLU is customer-oriented as they pioneer new ways of providing quality products.
