SEPTIC / ONSITE WASTEWATER

Who We help

Eichcorp OWA for Septic is built for businesses who design septic systems, execute onsite soil tests to evaluate site suitability, and perform system inspections

Site Evaluators

Site evaluators analyze a property's drainage, depth, and texture to determine its suitability for a septic drainfield. This analysis typically includes an onsite soil test.

Eichcorp OWA for Septic reduces admin costs and speeds execution for site evaluators by…

  • … converting customer site evaluation work requests into signed agreements
  • … coordinating team and customer schedules for site evaluations and onsite soil tests

Septic Designers

Septic designers calculate tank size and drainfield dimensions based on household water usage and soil data. They draft blueprints with the precise layout of system components. Finally, they compile these technical plans and complete the official paperwork to help secure regulatory permits.

Eichcorp OWA for Septic reduces admin costs and speeds execution for septic designers by…

  • … eliminating duplicate entry and cumbersome copy-paste in proposal generation
  • … adding e-signing to proposals to make it easy for customers to accept work
  • … automating project invoicing, with multiple “invoice gates” where multi-step workflows need them

Septic Inspectors

In an “open hole” inspection, septic inspectors perform critical final checks after a septic system's tank, pipes, and drainfield have been fully assembled in the ground but before they are backfilled with soil. A licensed inspector verifies that all components are correctly placed, sloped, and sealed. Inspections can also be performed on existing systems to assess health, function, and compliance.

Eichcorp OWA for Septic reduces admin costs and speeds execution for septic inspectors by…

  • … converting customer inspection work requests into signed agreements
  • … tracking outstanding inspection work alongside all other work in a single system — the same business may perform an open-hole inspection months or years after the design work
  • … coordinating team and customer schedules for onsite inspections

Eichcorp OWA for Septic

Our platform streamlines business operations for businesses who design residential septic systems, execute onsite soil tests to evaluate site suitability, and perform septic system inspections. This software reduces administrative costs and speeds project execution.

The result? Businesses spend less time and money…

  • … transforming customer work requests into signed agreements
  • … coordinating team schedules
  • … fielding customer service calls
  • … billing for work and chasing unpaid invoices

Our septic customers conservatively save about an hour of administrative time per project. One of them runs nearly 4,000 onsite septic soil testing projects each year — whether you're a solo designer or a firm at that scale, the arithmetic works the same way.

Septic operations

Eichcorp software streamlines operations for septic businesses with frequent onsite work

Start at Square 1

When a property developer or property owner plans construction in an area not served by a central sewer system, a septic system is required. Before construction, a number of steps are required:

  • Onsite soil testing to determine the type of system required
  • Completion and submission of a permit application to the governing agency
  • Design of the septic system
  • Construction of the septic system
  • Inspection of the newly constructed system
  • Regular inspection of existing systems

Eichcorp OWA for Septic covers the testing, design, permitting, and inspection steps of this workflow.

Where the Admin Time Goes: Website Contact Forms

Does your company website include a contact form that only emails your operations manager when someone submit it?

What's the problem?

The problem is everything that email starts: First someone has to read it, then draft a reply, then pause to call the customer to collect missing information, maybe asking for a plat map...

... then someone has to work up a proposal w/ quote, and then send that over to the customer by email. This is the first point your customer has any sense of the price of your services...!

... After this, you wait for a signature which is probably either a scan or a photo of a print-out of your electronic proposal. Finally, after all of this you receive a signed copy back. Evem at this point, you may spend more time re-entering data from the contact form into your work management system. Only at this point are you able to initiate work and assign a field crew.

Eichcorp's work request form can do all of this before anyone in your business touches a keyboard, including: an intantaneous quote, scheduling transparency for the customer, a map-based sketch of the site, and support for plat maps, photos, and other client uploads.

The four stages below are where a septic business spends its administrative time. Each one is a place Eichcorp OWA removes a manual steps. Your contact form is customer-facing in addition to time-saving, a great place to start!

  1. Work request, quote, and signed agreement
  2. Proposal generation with email and eSign
  3. Scheduling field crews
  4. Invoicing and payment through QuickBooks Online

Built on Software you Already Use

Instead of replacing your existing software investments, Eichcorp OWA builds connections between them. ClickUp for work management, Esri ArcGIS for mapping and field data capture, QuickBooks Online for invoicing, Google Calendar for scheduling, all running on Google Cloud Platform.

No expensive software replacements. No staff retraining.

Operations Management, not Project Management

Every septic business already has a process. The question is how much of it lives in someone's head, and how much of it runs on its own.

General-purpose project management software isn't the right fit for septic business operations. If you're struggling to keep up with work intake, planning, and execution, email us at info@eichcorp.com
