Contract Studio · contractor management · part of WasteOS

Contractors run the routes. You run the contract.

For cities that award collection to haulers — and for haulers that subcontract it onward. Award contract areas, let every contractor run their own day, and keep every structural change a decision — with performance and pay per area, enforced by the platform.

The problem

One contract. Many hands. No shared truth.

Outsourced collection runs on email, spreadsheets, and goodwill — every route change a phone call, every invoice a negotiation, every dispute a search through inboxes.

Watch a dispute die.The oldest argument in outsourced collection — against one shared record.
Two versions
The contract office says
“Dockside Road 14 was never emptied on Thursday.”
Basis: a resident complaint, forwarded by email.
The contractor says
“We emptied that street.”
Basis: the driver remembers it. Probably.
One stop record · both screens
Dockside Road 14 Thu 09:41 Emptied · 2 × 240 L mixed Vehicle GR-114 Confirmed in the cab Exception: none
✓ Same record on the office’s screen and the contractor’s. The argument has nothing left to feed on.
Every collection is recorded once — time, vehicle, completion, exception — and both sides read that record. Demonstration data.
The solution

Award. Operate. Settle.

A contract area is the unit of everything — the award, the routes, the performance, and the pay.

Award

The contract becomes structure

Add a contractor — their manager is invited automatically. Award an area with an in-force period, covered services, and a boundary imported from your own GIS files.

BoundaryImported from shapefileany CRS
HandoverSuccessor chain, history intactaudited
Operate

Their day, watched live

Contractors run their own day: stop order, own lists, own fleet. The contract office watches it live — routes, tasks, unloads, and complaints, filterable by contractor and area.

Settle

Change is a decision, pay is a trace

Structural changes arrive as requests you decide. Settlement composes per contract area — compensation, reliability adjustment, final — every figure traceable to real stops.

Who it’s for

Four jobs. Four views. One record.

The contract office, the contractor’s manager, the driver, and whoever signs the settlement — each gets their own working surface. Same collections, walls the server enforces.

Every contractor, every area — one operational picture.

The two rules

Their day is theirs. Your structure is yours.

The line every outsourced contract argues about — drawn once, enforced by the server, visible to both sides.

Applies instantly

What the contractor does freely

Reorder today’s stops Move work between own lists Mass-edit containers on a route Use any vehicle in their own fleet
A newly registered truck is usable the same minute. No approval, ever.
Request only

What the contract office decides

Changing a collection day Changing emptying frequency Reason + start date required Approval rewrites the calendar
Approval applies from the effective date — rejection carries your note back. Audited either way.
∅

And one thing is simply absent: a contractor’s screen has no control for moving work to another contractor — not hidden, not disabled. It doesn’t exist there, and the server refuses the request regardless.

Settlement

From a stop on the street to a line you can sign.

No invoice negotiations. The settlement composes itself from the operational record — per contract area.

1

Assigned

A stop lands on the contractor’s own list.

Contract area
2

Collected

Confirmed in the cab — exceptions included.

Navigation App
3

Proof of service

Time, vehicle, weight — one record.

Operational record
4

Priced line

Your contract’s agreed rate, per area.

5

Adjusted

Reliability shapes pay. Excused misses don’t.

Settled

Period closes and freezes — audited.

Settlement

Every figure traces to the stops that produced it — and until WasteOS’s pricing engine connects, every figure is labeled provisional. An interim number is never presented as final.

Performance

Scorecards a tender office can defend.

Compare one contractor, several, or all of them — per contract area, against your targets. A closed road is not the contractor’s fault, and the numbers know it.

FAQ

What buyers ask us first.

Can one contractor see another’s prices or areas?No — and not because the screen hides them. The server scopes every read to the caller’s own company. Customer prices never appear on any contractor surface, export, or API response.
Do drivers need new hardware or a new app?No. Drivers keep the WasteHero Navigation App they already use. A driver hired Monday is collecting Monday.
We’re a hauler, not a city — is this for us?Yes. A city awards areas to haulers; a hauler awards them to subcontractors — the mechanics are identical. You take the contract-office seat. One company can even hold both seats, in separate worlds.
What happens when a contract changes hands?Transfer the area to the successor with a cutoff date. Routes carry over through an audited reassignment, and history stays with the area — the settlement record survives the handover.
Can we import the zone maps from our tender?Yes — upload the shapefile or GeoJSON from your GIS and the boundary lands on the contract area’s map, whatever coordinate system it came in.
Can we roll it out gradually?Yes. One switch per organization. Off, your platform behaves exactly as before; on, the contractor layer appears — without touching existing routes, customers, or billing.
Trust

Guarantees that make a settlement safe to sign.

A number you can’t defend to a contractor is worse than no number. These are mechanics, not policies.

The unit of account is the contract area

Never a contractor rollup. Pay composes where the contract says it does.

Every figure traces to real stops

Compensation, adjustments, penalties — click through to the collections that produced them.

Excused misses never count against pay

An excused event leaves the reliability maths on every surface at once — scorecard and settlement agree.

Provisional means provisional

An interim figure is labeled as one, everywhere it appears. No fabricated finality.

The client hides; the server denies

Isolation and approvals are enforced where a curious user can’t reach — verified with forged-request tests.

Nothing applies without a decision

Structural change is a request until the office approves it — and the audit shows who, when, and why.
