About Ross Environmental Services
Beginning in 1949, Ross Environmental Services has dedicated its mission to helping the environment and improving hazardous and industrial waste management. Much of this work relies on the scheduling and dispatching of trucks to complete services.
The Challenge
To keep up with demand, Ross elected to modernize their IT department and phase out their old system. With this, they needed a new ERP that ensured drivers received accurate schedules, timelines, and equipment. Ross Environmental wanted to progress from managing from a spreadsheet in Excel to a fully automated system capable of fulfilling their needs.
"Summit did a really good job of listening to my concerns and having a plan in place-- it was more of a partnership."
The Solution
Summit provided Ross with a consultant weekly to work with their Project Manager to find the best solution possible. This involved creating customizations that Field Service Lightning (FSL) may not have been able to offer out of the box. With proper communication and collaboration from both parties, Summit was able to transform Ross’ manual Excel management to automated FSL flows, thus creating a much more efficient process.

Results for Our Client
Through the complexity of Ross’ needs, Summit was able to be flexible and find solutions that would help solve the inefficiencies of their previous tech stack. The traditional process for FSL is a route with multiple stops, similar to the traditional delivery driver process. With customization, Summit was able to include a secondary “return appointment”, that allowed routes to be planned with a pickup and drop off, followed by another pickup and drop off and so on. This process allowed Ross to successfully move from pen and paper to a Salesforce solution.
