Why Soft-Pak haulers look at a move
Soft-Pak covers a lot of ground. These are common reasons a Soft-Pak hauler still compares options.
Two owners in four years
Each new owner sets its own priorities. Ask Terex what its plans for Soft-Pak are and how they affect your version.
Software sold with trucks and cameras
ESG sells Soft-Pak as part of Connected Collections with Heil, Marathon and 3rd Eye. Ask how the roadmap serves fleets that run other brands.
A product for each job
Soft-Pak sells these as named modules: Mobile-Pak, Map-Pak, Scale-Pak and Web-Pak. Ask which ones your license includes.
Customers want to self-serve
Customers expect to pay, order service and get a text when the truck is coming without calling the office.
Soft-Pak and TrashLab
| Topic | Soft-Pak | TrashLab |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Your own server, or Soft-Pak's hosted cloud. | Built for the browser and phones. Nothing to host. |
| Product scope | Named modules: Soft-Pak, Mobile-Pak, Map-Pak, Scale-Pak and Web-Pak. | One cloud product: CRM, dispatch, driver app, billing, payments, customer portal and texting. |
| Drivers | Mobile-Pak in the cab, integrated with 3rd Eye. | Native iOS and Android driver app with photos, signatures, weights and exceptions that flow to billing. |
| Customers | Web-Pak for online account access. | Customer portal, online payments, autopay and two-way texting from your business number. |
| Owner | Terex, a truck and equipment maker. | A software company that builds only for haulers. |
| Testing before go-live | Ask how many sandbox rounds are included. | Your own data in a sandbox, as many rounds as it takes, before you switch off the old system. |
How a Soft-Pak migration works
Step 1
Export and map
We take a Soft-Pak export or database copy and map accounts, sites, services, routes and rates with your office manager.
- Customers, sites and contacts
- Recurring services, routes and rates
- Open balances and payment methods
Step 2
Sandbox rounds
Your office, dispatch and drivers do real work in a sandbox. We fix what they find and reload.
- Billing run compared with Soft-Pak
- Drivers try the app on their own routes
- Scale tickets bill on the same account
Step 3
Go live
We load final data at a cutover date you choose and support your team through the first billing cycle.
- Final import and balance check
- Customer portal and autopay invitations
- Soft-Pak kept for read-only history
