- On the customer’s phone, before the truck rolls
Sample entries from a book you build yourself.
Septic quotes from the book, not from memory.
Estimates for septic services, priced from a book you build yourself and approved on the customer’s phone, so the number is the same on every truck and the yes is captured before you leave.
The work
The work that gets quoted.
01
Pump-out routes
The same tanks on a three-to-five-year clock. The route lives on the board with gallons, depth, and condition noted at the truck, not on a clipboard that stays in it.
02
Inspections
Point-of-sale and routine inspections with photos, findings, and the report on the record, sent to the agent or homeowner the same day, not after the weekend.
03
Repairs and installs
Baffles, risers, pumps, and full systems. Quoted from the book and scheduled around the route instead of against it.
Why it matters
The argument, in three rows.
Built from your book
Parts, labor, and accessories come from the same price book everyone quotes from, so the number the customer hears never depends on which truck showed up.
Options beat ultimatums
A tiered proposal turns take-it-or-leave-it into a choice. The customer picks a tier instead of deciding whether to trust the only number on the page.
Signed before the truck leaves
E-signature on any device, deposit collected at approval, and the accepted proposal becomes a scheduled job. Same visit.
Septic · Estimates
The yes, captured.
Quoted from the book, approved on the phone, and turned into the job without retyping.
The old way
What the evening quote costs.
The tank’s history lives in a shoebox
Last pump-out date, sludge depth, lid location. When the record is paper, every visit starts by rediscovering the yard.
The route runs on memory
Which customers are due this season is a question the office answers by scrolling a spreadsheet. Due dates should surface themselves.
The emergency finds no record
A backup call from a customer you served in 2022 should open with the tank, the lid, and the last depth reading, not a blank screen.
Up close
How it runs.
01
Show, don’t argue
Photos of the failing unit, the comparison between options, the before-and-after from a similar job. Embedded in the proposal, not described over the phone.
02
Multi-phase and commercial
Break big work into phases with alternates; each approved phase converts to its own job plan. Approval routing covers the facility-manager case.
03
Margin guardrails
The margin is visible while the proposal is built, so discounting is a decision, not an accident.
The book
Loaded before the first job.
The price book is in Core: build your own. These are sample entries to show the shape. Edit them, or load your own book instead.

Straight answers
What septic services ask.
What does Thorbis cost for septic services?
$99 per company per month, unlimited people, every module as it releases. Plus metered usage. $15 included each month. Nothing on this page is a tier.
Is estimating a separate module?
No. Estimates & quotes is in Core, on the same record as the board, the estimate, and the invoice, so the septic job never leaves the system it started in.
Is it built for septic services specifically?
The record is the same for every trade; what changes is the work on it. For septic services that means pump-out routes, inspections, and repairs and installs, which is the day this page is written around, and the sample rows on it are septic jobs.
Can I standardize templates?
Yes. Reusable branded templates with recommended options, so every proposal starts from the shop’s standard instead of a blank page.
What about multi-phase jobs?
Break the proposal into phases and alternates; each converts to a separate job plan when approved.
