143. 143 There’s a growing trend of customers paying bills later and later. Therefore, collectors must make every effort to collect money and collect it faster. PRO will help you define your follow-up strategy. To remind customers to pay their outstanding invoices, you can define different actions depending on how severely overdue the customer is. These actions are bundled into follow-up levels that are triggered when the due date of an invoice has passed a certain number of days. If there are other overdue invoices for the same customer, the actions of the most overdue invoice will be executed. By going to the customer record and diving into the “Overdue Payments” you will see the followup message and all overdue invoices.

Keeping a single contract per Unit Location helps keep everything very clean. When you are ready to add some invoice line charges click add a line under the Recurring Invoices Tab.
23. 23 How to link a Driver to a Scheduled Route You have the option to Turn On automatic Linking in your Settings. This will automatically link a driver to a route ON THEIR PHONE when a Scheduled Route is created from a Static Route. You can also override the system at anytime by clicking the Send To Driver button the Scheduled Route and choosing the driver you want the route sent to ON THEIR PHONE. CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO Driver Users are specifically linked to Routes under PT Management. If you are having issues this is the final place to check and see if there is a problem linking the driver to a route. You can click Create and choose the Driver User and Route to create a link manually. Click Save when finished.
39. 39 Portable Toilets cont’d How to Print QR Codes QR Codes can be printed out individually or in bulk. If you wish to print out a single QR Code you can do that by clicking on the Unit and Print.

On the Customer On the Unit Location On the Zip Code On the Products You can find the Sales Tax Setup Menu by going to: Accounting –> Configuration –> Taxes PRO TIP: I recommend setting the default sales tax on the Unit Location. That way every time the Unit Location is invoiced the local tax rate is applied.
99. 99 Truck Management Setting up and Customizing the DVIR Checklists The PRO System allows you to create customized DVIR checklists for both pre and post route. They are signed by the driver after completion and are stored under each vehicle for easy organization after they are completed by the driver. Make sure that this feature is turned on in Settings. (See Common Settings Section) Rubix Cube –> Route Scheduling –> PRO Data –> Check Template Click Check Template Click which checklist you want to customize Click Edit At the top of the form you will set the Name, Type (FORM), and an email address (or multiple comma separated) that you wish for notifications to be sent to if a Driver Selects NO to an option.

Planned –> Assigned to a Scheduled Route 3. Completed –> Assigned and Marked Done The way to Filter and View different types of Services (Specials) is the same for all three states.
141. 141 Taking Payments In PRO, an invoice is considered to be paid when the associated accounting entry has been reconciled with the payment entries. If there has not been a reconciliation, the invoice will remain in the Open state until you have entered the payment. A typical journal entry generated from a payment will look like as follows: Receive a partial payment through the bank statement You can manually enter your bank statements in PRO, or you can import them in from a csv file or from several other predefined formats according to your accounting localization. Create a bank statement from the accounting dashboard with the related journal and enter an amount of $100 .

FOR STANDALONE IMPORTS Enter in your Work Order/Job site Information into the provided csv template. When ready click Save As and Choose CSV UTF-8
10. 10 The Importance of Grouping and Filtering This subject is so important that I feel the need to offer a page about it under the Critical Functions area of the manual. Grouping and filtering records (work orders, invoices, quotations, equipment) is one of the most powerful features of the PRO Software System. Once mastered, you will be able to get to whatever data/report you want to see quickly and efficiently. In the example below we have grouped our units first by Stage (whether Rented or Available) and then by Type of Unit. This allows to get an exact snapshot of what we have available in inventory for each type of equipment. Filters and groups can be stacked and then added to Favorites to be used by the user or shared to be available to other users in the system. Note: If you do not see the Filters or Group By drop down please look for the magnifying glass in the search bar at top and click it to expand out and show this functionality.
55. 55 Basic Invoicing and Billing The PRO Software System does a lot of the work for us regarding billing and invoice creation. We will cover the most common billing periods and scenarios in our examples. This includes: 28 Day Billing Post Paid (Sync to Batch Billing Day) Last Day of Month Billing Post Paid Calendar Day of Month Billing Post Paid 28 Day Billing Post Paid (Billing day is matched to day of delivery) Credit Card Up Front Payment Pre-Paid Before we start walking through the various scenarios it is important that we correctly configure out products (charge codes) to make sure that the prorating happens correctly. Rubix Cube –> Order Entry/Sales –> Products –> Products Click Create if you haven’t set up any products yet in the system.

63. 63 Fill out Pop Up Form Information Choose Create a new contract OR Add to Existing Contract Invoice Every Date Start Date of Next Invoice There is No Invoice Type because it is post-paid by default. Click Create A New Contract Note –> The first invoice will be created for a prorated amount with the second invoice creating at full price. Prorating is automatically calculated in all billing workflows in the PRO System. The Next Invoice generated from this contract will be for your full monthly price and will be created on the Last Day of the Next Month. The Invoice Date will be the 1 st of the Month.
66. 66 Fill out Pop Up Form Information Choose Create a new contract OR Add to Existing Contract Invoice Every Date Start Date of Next Invoice Invoicing Type Click Create A New Contract Note –> This sets the date of delivery as the 1 st invoice date. The customer will be billed a flat monthly price on the same calendar day each month until the unit is picked. Prorating is automatically calculated in all billing workflows in the PRO System. When this unit is picked up you will add an End Date on the created contract line and the final invoice will be generated with a prorated amount depending upon how far into the billing cycle you are.
112. 112 MRO cont’d NOTES –> Importing a list of locations Each has its own tab on the form where we load from a file and geolocalize from text addresses using Google or Mapbox (if geolocalization is needed of course, if lat/lng is already included in the file we skip it). We can also import your original routes to be used for comparison in our reporting. Vehicle Information We can either provide a total number of vehicles to be used in the master route optimization and the tank capacities (fresh/wastewater) and they will be created for just this run OR we can import your trucks and capacities from a .csv file. PRO TIP: Importing your truck info if it is not already in the system is much easier than creating vehicles one at a time. Talk with your trainer if you need help importing your vehicles.

75. 75 Septic Order Workflows It is very common for PRO Clients to also service and pump septic systems in addition to portable toilets. These workflows are very similar to portable toilet orders with one major difference. Septic drivers generally need to be able to take payment onsite as well as modify the invoice in case of extra charges. The PRO System can be configured to allow Septic Drivers to modify invoices and take payment onsite. Talk to your trainer about getting your Septic team configured up and trained on these workflows. Rubix Cube –> Sales/Order Entry Click Create Fill out order information the same as previous workflows. Make sure to choose Special –> Septic under the Work Order Information Tab. Click Save
134. 134 How to Assign a Customer to Commissioned Salesperson Rubix Cube –> Sales –> Customers Select Customer Set Commission Salesperson (Can be Employee or Another Customer) Save NOTE: Currently PRO Support Commissions Based of PAYMENTS If you want to see Commissions and amounts go to Accounting –> Customers –> Payments Group By Payment Date (Month) Group By Commission Salesperson Columns are Totaled on right for commission amounts
137. 137 Basic Invoice Creation Draft invoices can be manually generated from other documents such as Sales Orders, Purchase Orders,etc. Although you can create a draft invoice directly if you would like. An invoice must be provided to the customer with the necessary information in order for them to pay for the goods and services ordered and delivered. It must also include other information needed to pay the invoice in a timely and precise manner Draft invoice The system generates invoice which are initially set to the Draft state. While these invoices remain unvalidated, they have no accounting impact within the system. There is nothing to stop users from creating their own draft invoices. Let’s create a customer invoice with following information: Customer: Daffy Duck Product: 1x Weekly Service Quantity: 1 Unit Price: 100 Taxes: Tax 8%
43. 43 A Basic Driver Dashboard Walk-through Device –> Iphone 10xr Step 1 –> Log In To Application Step 2 –> Click Driver Dashboard Icon Note: You will always login to your current assigned route. Step 3 –> Choose Vehicle Step 4 –> Fill Out Pre/Post Trip Checklist (OPTIONAL) Step 5 –> You should land at your Depot Location stop. This will give you any pickup or dropoff information so you know how to load truck. When ready to start Tap Twice Close Location Without Scanning
78. 78 Septic Workflow cont’d You have now created a draft invoice. You can still view and/or edit if needed. The Invoice will stay in a Draft State until the Septic Driver completes the order and either logs in to Confirm and Register Payment and/or modify the Invoice due to extra charges. SEPTIC DRIVER SPECIFIC PART OF WORKFLOW Rubix Cube –> Order Entry Open The Order Click Invoices This will take your driver to the draft invoice. PRO TIP: IF Septic Drivers are going to need to access this order to modify you can set the Salesperson as the Septic Driver to allow easier access when they log in to orders.
11. 11 Views Another topic you will gear discussed in my classes or when training are Views. In short, views are how we are looking at a table of your data. Again, this could be invoices, equipment, user information, quotes, work orders, jobsites, or any number of other data tables. You can switch views in the upper right hand part of your screen underneath the “Magnifying Glass” in your search bar. The three most commonly used Views in the system are List, Map, and Kanban. I will briefly go over each in more detail below. List View is the most like an excel spreadsheet. It is the most important View because it allows us to sort, group, and filter our data. We can then select multiple records and perform group actions like Sending Invoices, Printing Reports, Registering Batch Payments, or Exporting data to an excel spreadsheet. In the example below I have grouped my orders by Customer and then selected a few records to perform an Action on.
57. 57 Optional CRM Step Before Order Entry CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management and is used to communicate with both current customers and perspective clients about potential projects and events they may have. It can be used as a standalone application or added to the PRO Order of Operations Order Entry Workflows. Part 1 –> First Contact Rubix Cube –> CRM –> Create Fill Out Name –> Fill Out Customer Info –> Click Edit –> Click Save If you have email information filled out then you can message through the application to the customer as well as create a Draft Order from this screen. It flows directly into the Order Entry Workflows that we go over next.
119. 119 Asset Creation Cont’d Step 4 –> Click Create Fill Out Name Asset Category –> Restroom Trailer, Generator, etc... Product (This is just a placeholder and won’t be used in orders so it can be anything) Depreciation Dates –> Manual First Depreciation Date –> Leave if Unsure Click Save and CONFIRM Your asset should be choosable in your Order Entry Area. Contact your PRO Trainer if you have any questions.
136. 136 Bank Account Reconciliation and Invoicing Information PRO supports multiple invoicing and payment workflows, so you can choose and use the ones that match your business needs. Whether you want to accept a single payment for a single invoice, or process a payment spanning multiple invoices and taking discounts for early payments, you can do so efficiently and accurately. From Draft Invoice to Profit and Loss If we pick up at the end of a typical ‘order’ scenario, after the unit have been delivered, you will: issue an invoice; receive payment; deposit that payment at the bank; make sure the Customer Invoice is closed; follow up if Customers are late; and finally present your Income on the Profit and Loss report and show the decrease in Assets on the Balance Sheet report. Invoicing in in the USA occurs when a contractual obligation is met. NOTE: This is a walk through starting with creating an invoice manually for example purposes. PRO recommends that you create your invoices and invoice contracts through the Order Entry/Sales Workflows to most efficiently track your orders and services.
36. 36 Setting up Static Routes to Auto Create Step 1 –> Open Up The Static Route you would like to have Auto Create Step 2 –> Click Edit Step 3 –> Click the Static Route Configuration Option Tab Step 4 –> Check the Box Enable Automatic Static Creation Step 5 –> Set the Recurrence to 7 if it is a weekly route and you want it to occur every 7 days. Step 6 –> Set 1 in the # of Routes In Advance Line to have it always create one week out. Step 7 –> Set the Date Start for Today Step 8 –> Save Step 9 –> Repeat on the rest of your Static Routes NOTE –> It will take a few hours for all your next week’s routes to create.
49. 49 Dashboard Button Options UNIT NOTES –> Basically a Unit Log. This may be hidden on your dashboard depending upon configuration. Unit Details –> Lets you see if you have added or removed units successfully. Also gives a list of the service status of the onsite units. Set Location –> This button lets you jump around your route and service stops out of order. You will be always be taken back to earliest unfinished stop after completing a stop out of order. Move Location –> This button allows you to bump the jobsite up a few service stops ahead. You would use this if you do not want to mark a Unit Not-Serviced but plan on coming back that same day. GPS To Location –> This Geocodes the Location Stop. Please Click this ONLY if you are at the Jobsite. Add Note –> Adds notes onto the work order for office staff to see.
108. 108 Price Per Service Billing Price Per Gallon Billing Invoice Number Sequences Talk with your trainer if you want to set your invoice numbers to start at a specific number. This is a normal part of billing implementation. However, sales orders, quotation, and other documents can have customized number sequences as well. Offline Scanning with iOS and Android Apps The PRO System has installable apps available for offline scanning and truck tracking. If you are in a lowe coverage area ask your trainer about the offline scanning options. NOTE –> These have minimal functionality currently. However, we are in development of a new, updated version due out in mid 2021. This setting can be enabled to allow for service logs to automatically increase the price per service quantity in a contract. This setting can be enabled for units to price by the gallon. It can link to the driver dashboard and allow drivers to log how many gallons they pumped.
146. 146 Quotation/Order Templates In PRO Quotation Templates are the fastest and easiest way to enter orders in PRO. This is because of the flexibility it gives you in setting up your billing lines as well as your work orders to auto populate. Quotation Templates can be found under –> Sales/Order Entry –> Configuration –> Quotation Templates After clicking to the Quotation Templates Menu click Create to Setup your first Template. This template can then be selected in Order Entry to populate out your work order and Billing Information. In this example we are going to create a template for a weekend special event order. We will setup the billing lines as well as the pickup and dropoff work orders to make entering this order as efficient as possible. NOTE –> If you do not see this option contact your PRO Trainer and they will install this useful module on your application.
8. 8 Part 2 –> Android Open Chrome Web Browser Navigate to the Driver Dashboard by going to –> https://demo.portabletoilets.app Click Driver Dashboard Click Three Dots Icon Top Right Screen Click Add to Home Screen This same workflow is used to connect all driver devices to their Driver Dashboard which is why it is the very first thing we cover in this instruction manual. Keeping our technicians connected and using the application throughout their day will yield the highest efficiency gains throughout the rest of your business.
29. 29 Create a Scheduled Route by clicking the Create A Scheduled Route Button Choose the Name and Date you want to create the scheduled route on Click Create Route The created route can be found under This Week’s or Next Week’s Routes PRO TIP CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO You can add Unit Locations to a Static Route via the the Unit Locations Detail View. You can also view any Static Routes a jobsite/unit Location may already be assigned too. If you wish to clear a Unit Location from all Static Routes AND clear any units that might have been assigned to that Location click the Clear units from location button (RED).
45. 45 First Service Stop Note: Jobsite specific pickup and dropoff Requests are Listed on the Jobsite Page. Step 1 –> Enter QR Number Manually OR Tap Camera to Scan Unit Click Submit Step 2 –> This Location is a Drop-Off So we check the Assign unit to location Box Step 3 –> Scroll Down and Click Q8 DROPOFF Note: You do NOT need to scan and click Unit Serviced again. Unit is now added to the Location. Click Unit Details to Confirm. After successful processing of actions the Gold Button will Turn Green. Click To Move to Next Location.
124. 124 Differences Between Online and Offline Driver Dashboards The Online Driver Dashboard is the official dashboard of PRO and the one we recommend using at all times when you have internet service. The offline application is for drivers that have to service units in remote areas and need to be able to perform critical functionality offline. NOTE Performing Pickups and Dropoffs as well as scanning units NOT already assigned to jobsites/unit locations will NOT work with the Offline Scanner. If you have drivers performing pickups and dropoffs offline we recommend that they add what units they picked up and dropped off in their Notes so that dispatch can update the system. If you are just getting started scanning units please use the ONLINE version of the dashboard to add your units to jobsites and for scanning the first time. Offline Driver App Functionality List 1) Scan Units ALREADY on Jobsites Service/Not-Serviced 2) Take a Picture of the Jobsite 3) Place a map pin and geocode the Jobsite 4) Leave Notes about Jobsite 5) View all your route stops and any driver/work order notes 6) Marking Work Orders Done
157. 157 QB Cont’d NOTES –> Quickbooks only allows 1 Unique Number per Journal on your Chart of Accounts. If you don’t see a corresponding COA account in PRO you can simply create one, assign a 6 digit number, and name it. We recommend when creating a new COA Account in PRO that you give it the EXACT same name as your corresponding Quickbooks Account. You MUST fill out the Number Column for ALL your Quickbooks Accounts regardless of whether you will be receiving data from PRO into it. Currently, PRO is offering automatic exporting of the following: Customers Quotations Invoices Payments Products Taxes IMPORTANT!! When you have completed the steps outlined in this walkthrough contact your PRO Trainer to setup a meeting to finalize the connection and test. DO NOT try to setup this yourself.
13. 13 Map View The descriptions says it all. Map view is used to look at records that have associated GPS coordinates on a map. Grouping and Filtering can be applied to this view in some cases. Below we have a couple of examples of Map View in action. Example 1 –> Here we have a filtered view of our drop offs and extra services for today’s routes. PRO TIP –> Specials are work orders that are for unique one-time services. Example 2 –> Here we have a route overlay display with the pins colors showing different routes. We can use this to help us find out if we need to move service stops to increase effeciency.
14. 14 Basic Dispatching CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO This section of the manual will go over how to do basic dispatching workflows. These workflows will have your team member start in the Route Scheduling/Dispatch module. NOTE –> During Billing Implementation we will move to the Order Entry/Sales module for creating most work orders so that billing AND work order information are entered in one workflow. What is the difference between a Scheduled Route and a Static Route? Answer –> In the PRO System we have two types of routes, Scheduled and Static. Static Routes are simply a list of Jobsites/Unit Locations that you service on a regular basis. These are the route templates that we use to create our Scheduled Routes. Rubix Cube –> Route Scheduling/Dispatch –> Scheduled Routes –> Static Route Templates Scheduled Routes are made up of a list of WORK ORDERS that are scheduled to service Jobsites/Unit Locations. We will then add our SPECIAL Work Orders to our Scheduled Routes. These include pickups, dropoffs, switchouts, and extra services. This allows our dispatching team to dynamically change these routes and respond to the inevitable changes that have to be made in real time to a route caused by a driver calling in sick or a truck break down.
40. 40 Portable Toilets cont’d If you do not have unit numbers assigned yet you can just print out all your stickers and divide up amongst your drivers. They will take the stickers and perform the drop off workflow to link a unit to a sticker and thus a jobsite. Get with your trainer about this to make sure this is done correctly during implementation. IF you have already assigned Unit #’s to Locations then we will sort and print out stickers according to route so we can give a driver just his stickers for the day. To do this: Open the Scheduled Route in Dispatching/Route Scheduling Click Equipment On-Site Toggle List View Select All Units Print QR Code – Online Labels ALSO Print Initial QR Code PRO TIP: Initial QR Code is used as a key so drivers know which labels to put on a unit. DO NOT print this onto labels. Give to drivers as a regular printout with their route sheet.
42. 42 Portable Toilets cont’d Setting up Units for Every Other Week and 1x Monthly Service Open Target Unit Details Page Click Edit Click Unit Service Recurrence Choose Every Other Week Another Drop Down Will Appear Choose the Day Of Week Click on Serviced underneath the Recurrence drop down to tell the system the last time the unit was serviced. NOTE: This will be set in the future by the driver when they scan and service the unit. The system will not either schedule or skip servicing this unit on the following week’s scheduled route depending upon what you set here. Do the same if Monthly except select 1X Monthly in Recurrence Options.
51. 51 A Quick Note About Confirming Units Onsite Driver Dashboard After you scan/enter number have your driver confirm the units that are onsite by click Unit Details. IF there are units that were added by mistake or were already registered in the system they will show here. TO remove the driver can 1 –> scan/enter unit # 2 –> Select Pickup to set unit back to Available State and Clear off Customer and Location Information OR 3 –> Click Unit Details –> scroll finger to right to see the Scanned Toggle and an “X” (OPTIONAL FEATURE) You can simply click the X to remove the incorrectly added unit. If you do not want to give your drivers this option let me know and I will hide the button.
114. 114 MRO Cont’d Master Route Parameters Depot origin and destination for every route Must have lat/lng data Add one disposal location per route If checked, one of the disposal locations (from the Disposal Locations tab) will be added per each route. Optimize as one set (disregard weekdays) Optimizes without taking any weekly schedules into account, all as one big bunch spreading the resulting routes sequentially Afterwards. Deep Optimize Better optimization results are achieved if you check the ‘Deep MR optimization step’ checkbox taken from the Settings (25 default, larger value => slightly better results, but substantially longer execution time) Use Weekly Driver Schedule Option to specify which drivers/vehicles are available per each day of week.
