You service dozens — maybe hundreds — of commercial holding tanks across restaurants, RV parks, construction sites, and industrial properties. The problem? You're flying blind. Tanks overflow on a Friday night. Customers call demanding emergency service. Trucks drive to half-empty tanks. Rivio fixes all of that — one sensor per tank, one dashboard for everything.

Live level data, every tank
Running a holding tank service without level data isn't just inefficient — it's costing you contracts, margins, and staff time every single week.
A restaurant calls at 11pm — tank overflowed, kitchen is shut down. You dispatch a truck at overtime rates, lose a weekend, and absorb the cost. With level monitoring, you saw it coming two days ago.
Driving 40 minutes to a tank that's 35% full burns fuel, billable hours, and truck lifespan. Without data, you either pump everything on a calendar or guess. Both are expensive.
A restaurant that's busy all summer needs different service than one that's slow. A fixed weekly schedule means you're always either too early or too late.
Commercial holding tank contracts are competitive. One overflow complaint to a property manager is enough to lose a multi-site account to a competitor.
When a customer claims you didn't respond fast enough, can you prove otherwise? Rivio logs every reading, every alert, and every service event with timestamps.
Adding 20 new commercial accounts means 20 more tanks to guess about. Without a system, growth makes your operation harder, not easier.

A Rivio cellular sensor installs in each holding tank in under 30 minutes — no plumbing, no wiring. Drop it in, activate it in the app, and it starts sending levels immediately.
Open Rivio and see every commercial account on a map. Color-coded by fill level — green means fine, yellow means watch it, red means dispatch today. No guessing required.
Set a threshold — say 80% — and get an SMS or push notification when any tank crosses it. You're calling the customer to schedule service before they even know there's a problem.
Real-time tank data changes how you operate, compete, and grow.
Build your daily route around tanks that actually need service. Eliminate wasted pump runs. Send trucks to full tanks, not scheduled tanks. Your cost-per-pump drops immediately.
Walk into your next contract renewal with a monitoring dashboard to show the property manager. No competitor offering calendar service can match what a sensor-backed guarantee looks like.
Every tank level, every alert, every service event is logged with a timestamp. Dispute a complaint in seconds. Show regulators exactly when and how tanks were managed.
Check every account's status from anywhere — before your morning briefing, on the road, or at 10pm when a storm hits. No calls to drivers, no guessing, no surprises.
Adding 50 new commercial accounts doesn't mean 50 more manual check-ins. Rivio scales with you — every new sensor just appears in the dashboard. More accounts, same office workload.
Offer sensor-monitored service as a premium tier. Customers who've had overflow emergencies will pay more for the guarantee that it won't happen again. Rivio makes that promise credible.
Any commercial property with a holding tank that gets pumped on a recurring basis is the right fit.
High-volume, high-stakes. A restaurant holding tank filled mid-service shuts down a kitchen instantly. Rivio alerts you at 75% so service happens on your schedule, not theirs.
Seasonal usage spikes are unpredictable. A full campground fills tanks fast. Monitor every dump station and holding tank remotely without driving the whole property.
Portable restroom and holding tank service at active job sites. Know which sites are active and which tanks are filling faster due to crew size — and schedule accordingly.
Strip malls, event venues, and commercial properties with holding tanks on city-water but no sewer. Consistent service backed by data builds long-term contracts.
Occupancy-driven fill rates mean a fixed schedule is never right twice in a row. Adjust service frequency automatically based on actual tank levels.
Process wastewater, washdown, and industrial holding tanks with strict compliance requirements. Rivio provides the data trail regulators want to see.
| Situation | Calendar Service | Rivio-Managed |
|---|---|---|
| Tank overflows on a Friday night | Emergency call, overtime dispatch | Alert fired at 80% — serviced Thursday |
| Big event doubles tank usage | Overflow, angry customer, lost contract | Fill rate spike detected, extra run dispatched |
| Tank half-full on scheduled day | Pumped anyway — wasted trip | Skipped — driver sent to a full tank instead |
| Customer disputes service quality | No record to defend yourself | Full timestamped log shows every level & action |
| Adding 20 new accounts | 20 more tanks to guess about | 20 more sensors on the same dashboard |
| Contract renewal meeting | Talk about reliability | Show the customer live data on their own tank |
No. You add sensors to tanks you already service. Monitoring gives you better data to fulfill your existing contracts — and a compelling upgrade pitch if you want to offer a premium monitoring tier.
That's their call. But most commercial accounts appreciate the proactive service. Framing it as 'we monitor your tank so you never have an overflow emergency' is usually an easy sell.
The dashboard shows every tank by fill level in real time. Build your daily route around tanks that are 80%+ instead of driving a fixed calendar route. Your drivers go where the work is, not where the schedule says.
Yes. Rivio's customer portal lets you share a read-only view of a customer's specific tanks. Property managers love seeing the same data you see — it builds trust and reduces check-in calls.
Rivio alerts you if a sensor goes offline unexpectedly. You'll know before your customer does.
Every emergency call you take is a failure that could have been prevented. Every wasted truck run is margin you'll never recover. Rivio gives you the data to run a tighter, more profitable commercial holding tank operation — starting with your first sensor install.
