When David Berg founded CommanderAI, he had one bold vision: to create the Salesforce for the waste management industry. His idea came from firsthand experience—spending time behind the wheel of garbage trucks across the U.S. as the first employee at Ohio-based Battle Motors.

Despite billions spent on modern CRM and sales platforms, Berg realized the waste management sector was still operating with pen, paper, and door-to-door sales. He saw a massive gap in how companies found customers, closed deals, and managed relationships.
A Market Stuck In The Past
Berg noted that traditional prospecting tools like Salesforce and HubSpot, while powerful, are too complex and generic to work effectively in waste management. “Everyone had the same old-school way of going to market—manual processes, no tech-driven sales funnel, no industry-specific CRM,” Berg explained.
This lack of digital tools meant companies were missing out on efficiency and growth opportunities. CommanderAI aims to change that by building software designed specifically for waste management and adjacent industries like dumpster rentals and industrial recycling.
Why CommanderAI Is Different
Unlike mainstream CRMs, CommanderAI’s platform is tailored to the contracts, data, and workflows unique to waste management. That means sales teams no longer need to “hack” Salesforce or HubSpot to fit their needs.
Instead, CommanderAI simplifies the sales cycle with tools built for the realities of waste services. From managing bids on municipal contracts to tracking industrial recycling clients, the platform brings automation to an industry still dominated by manual work.
Disrupting A Multi-Billion-Dollar Industry
Berg believes CommanderAI has the potential to transform how waste companies grow. By combining CRM, prospecting, and industry-specific data in one platform, CommanderAI positions itself as the first real digital sales solution for waste management.
“It’s not just about building software,” Berg said. “It’s about modernizing an entire industry that’s been overlooked by tech for too long.”
The Future Of Waste-Tech
As sustainability pressures increase and cities demand smarter waste solutions, the need for specialized technology is greater than ever. With its industry-first approach, CommanderAI wants to become the default CRM for waste management, the same way Salesforce became the default for enterprise sales.
If successful, CommanderAI could reshape how deals get done in one of the world’s most essential—but least digitized—industries.
