The math doesn't lie.
Septic Service Operators deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Pump truck maintenance is extremely expensive ($10K+ annually). Disposal site fees per load eat into margins. Recurring service reminders (pump every 3-5 years) need CRM. Emergency calls for backups at all hours. Jobber charges $69/month on top of these daily realities. The median septic service operator earns $55,000/year — $828/year in software subscriptions is a significant percentage of that income, paid every year, forever.
Nexa is $279 once. Invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, accounting — all connected, built for septic service operators. You own it like you own your Pump truck.
You pumped 4 tanks today: 3 routine ($350-$450 each) and 1 emergency backup ($550). Disposal site fee: $75 per load (4 loads today = $300). Fuel for the pump truck: $120. Your pump truck payment is $2,200/month and maintenance averages $800/month. Revenue today: $1,700. Costs today: $420. But your truck costs $3,000/month regardless. You have 200 customers who should be reminded to pump every 3 years — that reminder system is a file cabinet of index cards.
