Company Overview
Revolution Recovery is a leader in construction and demolition material recycling, operating out of Philadelphia and Allentown, PA, and New Castle, DE. Their mission is clear: keep reusable materials like wood, rubble, plastics, and cardboard out of landfills by processing and selling them to specialized reuse outlets. With over 25 trucks, 3 trailers, 65 off-highway assets, and 30+ support machines operating daily across three sites, the team manages a dynamic fleet with both environmental and operational challenges at play.
The company offers roll-off containers for exterior job sites and Tubsters, compact containers for interior work, providing scalable, site-specific solutions for a wide range of customers.
Before Whip Around: A Fragmented System
Prior to implementing Whip Around, Revolution Recovery was operating with a patchwork inspection and maintenance system. Drivers submitted issues via email to a shared inbox. Machine operators, on the other hand, relied purely on verbal communication. There were no formal inspections, no work order documentation, and no way to track recurring issues across equipment.
“Our inspection process was rudimentary at best. Truck drivers would email problems, and machine operators worked off word-of-mouth. It led to a lot of confusion and rework.”
— Jake Booz, Director of Maintenance and Procurement
This informal process meant that important issues were often missed, maintenance was delayed, and accountability was difficult to establish, putting both safety and uptime at risk.
Why Whip Around?
The Revolution Recovery team selected Whip Around for its simplicity and user-friendly interface, a critical factor given that some of their most experienced drivers were hesitant to adopt new technology.
“We liked how the drivers were limited to asset inspections. Some of our drivers have trouble with tech, and it was huge for us that they couldn’t get lost in the app.”
— Jake Booz
Although the initial rollout was met with some resistance, particularly from senior drivers, the intuitive nature of the app made gradual buy-in possible. Over time, participation steadily increased as team members experienced firsthand how much smoother inspections and issue reporting became.
Implementation & Expansion
Revolution Recovery has been with Whip Around for over five years, starting when the platform focused solely on inspections. Since then, the company has evolved alongside the product, growing from a basic user to a power user of the platform.
Today, Whip Around sits at the core of their internal fleet processes, powering everything from defect tracking to vendor repair documentation. The team now utilizes:
- Digital inspections across all on- and off-highway assets
- Work orders for both internal shop repairs and external vendor jobs
- Parts inventory tied to work orders to reduce waste and streamline restocking
- Purchase orders to manage spending and support vendor accountability
- Driver documentation and compliance tracking
- Scheduled and preventive maintenance, with full digital histories
- Warranty work tracking to stay audit-ready and reduce duplicate repairs
Real-World Results
Since adopting Whip Around, Revolution Recovery has experienced substantial improvements in safety culture, efficiency, and operational control:
- 12,846 inspections completed in the past year
- 38% increase in assets being actively inspected
- 32% boost in driver inspection participation
- Noticeable reduction in communication breakdowns and rework
- Enhanced visibility and accountability across teams and locations
“We started when Whip Around was just an inspection app. Now, it’s the backbone of our maintenance program.”
— Jake Booz
Recognized for Safety Excellence
Revolution Recovery was honored with a Whip Around Safety Award, a reflection of their long-standing dedication to safety, operational rigor, and employee accountability.
“Receiving the safety award is a major accomplishment for each individual involved and our company as a whole. It’s rewarding to see years of hard work and perseverance pay off.”
— Jake Booz
The award not only celebrated years of investment in process improvements, but also marked a cultural shift: safety is no longer reactive—it’s ingrained.
Looking Ahead
Revolution Recovery continues to push the envelope. With Whip Around integrated into daily operations, the next step is building out a more advanced inventory system and exploring accounting integrations like QuickBooks to bring even more efficiency and oversight to their operations.
