Match Engine
Match Engine AI is a proprietary intelligence platform that transforms how customers find the right service providers and how providers win more business. Using language, transcription and statistical analysis models, and run on an air-gapped swarm of computers, this tool powers our mission critical matching platform across three strategic dimensions.
In 2025, we introduced a highly sophisticated language model to our suite of services that powers everything we do. We use AI to improve our world-class call center, track customer demand and sentiment, provide better service to all of our partners, and help us grow.
Introduced ShredTronics.com, extending the network to compliance‑oriented electronics destruction and related services. Electronics recycling dates all the way back to 1977, when TRIR.com recycled many electronics components in its line of recycling services. As electronics recycling evolves as a compliance industry, we want to stay at the forefront
Added MedicalWastePros.com to serve medical waste needs. Much like shredding services, medical waste is a compliance-oriented industry with a strong logistics component. That made it a natural expansion of our mission to help companies grow.
As the model proved itself, we expanded with RecordNations.com for the document management industry.
That insight led to the launch of Shred Nations in 2004, now the largest independent marketplace for shredding services in North America.
We didn’t observe these industries from the outside; we operated inside them. That operator’s perspective shaped everything that followed. When the internet began changing how customers searched for services, TRI-R entered the digital era early. The launch of Tri.com revealed something bigger than online demand. Customers were ready, but the market was fragmented. Local providers varied widely in capability, specialization, and readiness. The challenge wasn’t access; it was fit. Sharing demand with qualified providers wasn’t about generating volume. It was about creating better outcomes for everyone involved.
TRI-R expanded into document shredding and became an early member of the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID), helping define standards in an industry where trust and compliance are non-negotiable.
Our story began when David Powelson founded TRI-R Recycling in Denver. What started as a paper and electronics recycling company grew into one of the largest independent recycling businesses in the United States.

That’s why Match Engine delivers:
When the input improves, everything else follows:
We don’t ask sales teams to work harder. We give them better opportunities.
Built for Trust, Not Just Intelligence (For the geek in all of us)
Match Engine AI operates entirely within a private, air-gapped swarm of compute resources. Customer conversations, performance data, and insights never leave the Match Engine ecosystem.
This architecture is intentional. Most AI tools require sensitive data to be uploaded into public, shared environments. Match Engine AI was designed differently, so organizations can benefit from powerful intelligence without exposing their data or surrendering control. The result is a proprietary, local, and secure system that learns continuously while keeping customer and partner information private, protected, and fully owned.
A System That Improves Every Day
Match Engine AI is not a static tool. It is a continuous learning engine that:
By capturing what drives success and scaling it across teams and partners, Match Engine AI turns performance improvement into a repeatable, measurable capability. That’s how intelligence fuels outcomes. And that’s how the best performers become the standard.
Three Capabilities. One Continuous Learning System.
1. Understand What Customers Actually Need.
Customers get better answers. Matches happen faster. Every day, Match Engine AI analyzes up to 2,000 customer calls, transcribing and studying each conversation to understand what truly drives purchasing decisions.
The platform identifies:
This intelligence ensures customers receive the right information at the right moment, creating clearer decisions and stronger, more valuable matches.
2. Turn Top Performers into a System
Where Match Engine AI truly differentiates is in how it improves people. Every team member gets better, faster and results improve across the board as every team member performs like the best performer.
The impact is measurable. Pre-sales closing rates increased from 39% to 51%, a 31% improvement, by turning individual excellence into shared intelligence.
By analyzing thousands of interactions, the platform identifies what the highest performing team members do differently. It quantifies the behaviors that consistently lead to success, such as tone, empathy, effective discovery, confidence, clarity, and expertise, and makes those insights visible and actionable.
This allows organizations to:
This is how Match Engine AI raises the baseline for entire teams, not just top performers.
3. Help Service Providers Win More Business
Partners close more opportunities with better insight and alignment.
Match Engine AI extends its intelligence beyond internal teams to support service provider success.
Through integrations with platforms like Total Recall, ShredMetrics, Shred Logics, and EZ Shred, the system helps converted opportunities flow seamlessly to sales agents who can monetize them effectively.
By analyzing customer behavior patterns across the United States, Match Engine AI delivers actionable intelligence during business reviews to help partners:
Better insight leads to better execution—and better outcomes for everyone involved.
AI That Turns Conversations into Performance and Performance into Results
After decades of matching customers with service providers, one pattern became clear, the biggest gains didn’t come from more demand, they came from understanding why certain conversations produced better outcomes than others.
Match Engine AI was built to turn those insights into a system. It is a proprietary intelligence platform that listens to real customer conversations, learns from them at scale, and activates those learnings every day to improve matching, elevate conversion performance, and drive measurable results for customers, teams, and service providers alike.
Powered by advanced language, transcription, and statistical analysis models, and operated within a secure, air-gapped computing environment, Match Engine AI is not generic AI. It is purpose-built to identify what top performers do differently and help everyone perform at that level.
Higher Intent In. Higher Performance Out.
Conversion isn’t just about sales skill, it’s about fit, timing, and expectations.
Match Engine improves conversion by:
Your sales team receives far better leads whether they’re quoting a shred job, scoping a scanning project, or onboarding a recurring medical waste account.
The result: shorter sales cycles and stronger customer relationships for life.
Close Rates
Win More Deals with the Same Sales Team
When the right buyer meets the right provider at the right time, closing becomes easier and more consistent.
Providers using Match Engine see:
Because every interaction begins with alignment, trust, and urgency.
You’re not competing on volume. You’re winning on fit.
Expand Confidently, Without Guessing
Launching services in a new city, region, or vertical is risky without clear demand signals.
Match Engine helps you:
You don’t expand on hope, you expand on proof.
No speculation. Just validated opportunity.
Grow Without Adding Headcount or Complexity
Scaling revenue shouldn’t require scaling chaos.
Match Engine enables providers to grow by:
Whether you operate a single shred truck or manage national ITAD or medical waste routes, Match Engine helps you scale volume while protecting margins and performance.
Predictable demand. Predictable growth.
Turn Inbound Interest into Real Revenue
Most demand goes to waste because it’s unqualified, mismatched, or mishandled, especially in compliance driven services.
Match Engine monetizes demand by:
From one-time shredding jobs to multi-phase scanning projects and recurring medical waste contracts, every opportunity is structured to be sellable.
Every interaction is designed to convert.
Reach Buyers Who Are Actively Looking for Service, Not Just Browsing
Your ideal customers are already searching for shredding, scanning, ITAD, and medical waste solutions. Match Engine captures that demand across digital channels, inbound calls, and strategic partners, then qualifies and routes it directly to you.
We don’t sell impressions or fills.
We deliver Ready to Buy Customers with real needs, defined timelines, and the authority to move forward, whether they’re scheduling a shred day, planning a scanning project, decommissioning IT assets, or setting up recurring medical waste service.
Result: No chasing. More actionable sales conversations that matter.
