- Billing by mobile money
The problem
Small haulers run on paper route sheets and a WhatsApp group.
They cannot tell which customers paid, which stops were actually served, or which routes lose money.
Customers complain, the hauler cannot prove service happened, municipal contracts are lost over unverifiable reporting, and collections revenue leaks constantly to cash handling.
Who it is for
Private waste haulers
Haulers and sanitation contractors in African and South Asian cities running 3 to 60 vehicles.
Municipal contract operators
Operators who must report on service delivery and cannot afford to lose a contract over unverifiable reporting.

Borla Operations — route profitability snapshot · 400 customers on the route, 70% of billing collected · Route profit or loss: GHS 2,020 a month · Break-even at 57% of billing collected Run it yourself: https://borlaapp.com
Method: collected = customers x monthly fee x share collected. Running costs = days x fuel a day + crew x pay a day x days + vehicle costs. Profit = collected - running costs. Break-even share = running costs / billed. Costs shared between routes, such as the yard or office, are left out, so add a share to vehicle costs if you want them counted.
