Tally is the custom system we built for Contento's container & recycling business in New York — customer requests, driver dispatch, container tracking, weighing and scrap, billing prep and DEC compliance in one desktop app. It's exclusive to Contento's, and it's shown here as an example of what we build.
Each stage writes to the same records, so the weight a driver confirms in the field is the weight the billing worksheet reads that afternoon.
A customer calls, or asks through the portal. It lands on a delivery sheet — multi‑container, editable, with demo and direct‑landfill support.
Drag jobs onto a driver's lane or timeline. Multi‑container sheets split into per‑container tasks, each crossed off on its own.
Pickup → dumped → weighed. Drivers confirm weight, destination and yard from the cab through the same record the office uses.
Tipping, trucking, fuel surcharge and add‑on fees total on a per‑sheet worksheet. Mark it invoiced with a QuickBooks number when it's out the door.
Three releases in five days: everything about a customer in one place, every request on one board, replies that arrive the moment they're sent, and questions answered without writing SQL.
Contact details, sites, what's on rent, requests and searchable weight tickets — with a timeline marked by who can see each entry, and team notes only staff see.
A customer's message reaches the office the moment it's written, and the office's reply reaches the customer with no reload. Every message shows who wrote it.
Requests, replies and driver problems, grouped by request. Set working hours and the rest waits quietly until morning — driver problems always come straight through.
Pick what you want to see, narrow it in plain English, tick the columns. Tally writes the query — with the yard's easy-to-get-wrong rules built in and shown on screen.
Every screen is one product — warm where you plan and review, clean and dense where you're reading numbers mid‑task.
A separate, customer-facing site on the company's own domain. Each customer signs in and sees their own account — nothing else.
A separate, deliberately small page — roughly a twentieth the size of the office app — installed to the home screen as My Run.
Each companion is its own small app pointed at the same Tally server — installed only on the desks that need it, updated from the server like everything else.
Tally is a desktop app that hosts its own API and web UI. Staff reach it from the client shell or a browser; drivers add My Run to a phone; customers visit the portal.
Because every material is picked from a catalog mapped to a DEC waste category, the annual filings classify correctly without a reconciliation pass at year‑end — and split by yard when there's more than one.
Tally is exclusive to Contento's. But we build custom software like it for other businesses, shaped around how you work and quoted on scope.
