Your size · 16–40 person teams · Septic
Departments, volume and margin questions: multi-crew septic services buy visibility. The operating loop keeps the record straight today, and the heavier modules arrive as posted add-ons on the same platform, not as a second migration.
16–40
The pressure
Volume hides margin
At this size the month can look busy and still be thin. What closed, what’s open, and what each crew actually ran reads out of the record, to a spreadsheet when the bookkeeper wants it raw.
The stockroom is a mystery
Inventory (warehouse and truck stock, transfers, POs, what left on the job) is Next on the roadmap, posted before it ships. Until then the record still tells you what the job consumed in dollars.
Every hire used to cost a seat
Sixteen to forty people is where per-seat pricing turns growth into a bill. Here headcount is an operations decision. The software bill does not vote.
The work
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.
Turned on at this size
Everything below is in the one $99 subscription. Where a module is still being built, it wears the roadmap’s own word instead of a promise.
The board at volume
Every crew, every truck, and the overlap between them.
Owner reports
By job, by crew, by week. Spreadsheet out.
Progress billing
The long job billed by stage, already in Core.
InventoryNext
Truck and warehouse stock, transfers, POs.
PayrollNext
Fixed worker bands, posted before release.
ProjectsNext
The long commercial job with a real project around it.
The old way
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.
The stage decision
The owner, before adding the next truck, not after. Reports are the difference between growing and just getting busier.
Asked at this size
What does Thorbis cost a septic shop this size?
$99 per company per month, unlimited people, every module included as it releases. Plus metered usage. $15 included each month. The size changes; the bill does not.
Is this an alternative to ServiceTitan at this size?
For the operating loop (dispatch, field work, invoicing, collecting, owner reports), yes, at a posted price with no per-seat math. The suite modules we have not shipped are on the roadmap in its own words, and the compare page keeps the score honestly.
Where are inventory and payroll?
Next on the roadmap: inventory for truck and warehouse stock, payroll in fixed worker bands, both posted before they run. We would rather tell you the stage than sell you the word.
Can we add people without renegotiating?
Yes. Twenty-five people or forty, the subscription is the same $99. Usage (the shop number, AI, payroll delivery when it ships) is metered at posted rates on top.
