Hauler Hero – an all-in-one tech platform helping waste management companies scale their businesses – announced $10 million seed funding led by I2BF Global Ventures, K5 Global, Somersault Ventures, Recall Capital, and executives from ServiceTitan.
Every community depends on waste and recycling haulers for health and safety despite the weather conditions and the challenges of the recent pandemic. Hauler Hero has over 120 waste management customers in 40 states and the company grew 200% over the past year.
The U.S. creates over 300 million tons of garbage annually, and mismanagement of this could lead to dirtier communities, ocean pollution, and soil contamination. Due to a lack of innovations, many businesses have been dealing with manual processes, paper records, and legacy software. These inefficiencies also cause longer routes, higher fuel costs, billing errors, delayed payments, etc.
Hauler Hero utilizes AI and cloud-based tech to help waste haulers improve operations, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. And the company’s platform automates invoicing, routing, dispatch, and customer engagement. This results in over 14 hours saved per week by office employees while driving significant improvements in cash collection, customer churn, and client satisfaction. Hauler Hero serves residential, commercial, government, and industrial haulers, including major institutions like Verizon, Wells Fargo, McDonald’s, UPS, PG&E, US Army, and Marriott.
The key features include a CRM, a billing platform, a driver app, a dispatching platform, and a customer portal.
KEY QUOTES:
“Every single day, these heroes keep our communities healthy and clean, but for decades, haulers have been forced to use outdated systems that hinder their ability to operate efficiently. The more time and money we can save haulers, the more they can spend with their families.”
– Mark Hoadley, CEO and co-founder of Hauler Hero
“Hauler Hero is the first software that has taken the time to listen, understand the pain points and challenges that my team and I face daily, always working to construct a software that is making our lives easier serving our needs for all recurring and commercial success. They’re saving us countless hours and dollars per week on unnecessary work from separate softwares and in house custom reporting. We’re excited to see what they roll out next.”
– Joe Parmenter, owner of Greenleaf Recycling
