Market position

A focused team, the #1 US supplier.

PRT isn't a conglomerate - it's a lean, focused team in Schaumburg, Illinois that became the #1 US supplier of replacement lids and parts for commercial, roll-off and compactor containers. That focus on one niche, done better than anyone else, is exactly why the Bluetooth module Techanzy built for them became patentable IP.

Firmware for the compactor itself

We own the firmware on PRT's custom boards, shipping enhanced capabilities release after release.

03 · Hardware

A Bluetooth module built in-house

We built the Bluetooth module and mobile app for real-time device connectivity - the basis on which PRT acquired US patents.

What they say

Techanzy CEO Shahzeb with Kevin Gavin, Owner of PRT.

“Techanzy played an essential role in modernizing our IoT product line. Their team handled everything - from firmware development on our custom boards to cloud integration, dashboards, and mobile applications. They consistently delivered ahead of schedule and solved problems we didn't even know we had. Thanks to their expertise, we now have a reliable smart compactor system live in the field, giving us real-time visibility and dramatically reducing service issues.”
