Compology makes dumpster monitoring service accessible through third-party software

Compology, a San Francisco-based provider of camera-based dumpster monitoring services, announced it can now directly integrate its container data directly into any waste enterprise resource planning (ERP), accounting or dispatch software through the company’s newly developed Compology API offering.

"We've always approached our product offerings from the viewpoint of the user, making sure that we're delivering the value our customers need to operate more efficiently," Compology CPO Ben Chehebar says. "While our software is highly intuitive and presents dumpster data in a way that makes it highly actionable, we realize that some customers have already built processes around their proprietary or other third-party software. 

"We want to accommodate all of our clients and future customers who find value in our complete dumpster data offering. That's why we've expanded our product line to offer software integration capability through our API, making our data available outside of the Compology app for the first time." 

According to Compology, the company built their integration capability in order to provide customers of all sizes the benefits of increased productivity without added complications or costs.

According to the company, there are several benefits of this integration:

• Gives a consolidated view of operations: Integration helps save time and resources by consolidating necessary information into one place, making sure operations are running as efficiently as possible.
• Avoids the need to drastically modify processes: With processes already in place, integration helps limit the extent to which those operations need to be modified and reduces the likelihood for a new hire or extensive training for new software expertise.
• Gives more control over data: Access to the API also gives users direct access to raw data. Access to this information allows for customized reports and data-driven analysis. Additionally, access to raw data makes it easier to share custom datasets cross-functionally or with external stakeholders.
