For skip hire & waste operators

Which skips are out, overdue or unpaid right now?

Most operators have to ring the yard to find out. The booking is in the calendar, the swap was agreed on the phone, the ticket is in the cab, and three skips have sat in gardens for two weeks with nobody chasing. One system joins it up, and your drivers never have to type into it.

Where the margin goes
on an ordinary skip

Nothing here is bad management. It is what happens when a real yard runs on a phone, a calendar and memory.

Booking
LeakThe order that lives in someone’s headThe calendar knows the drop-off. Only the driver knows the access, the size change and the customer who said Thursday, not Wednesday.
Exchange
LeakExtras that die on the phoneThe swap, the extra week, the load that came back mixed. Agreed on the phone on Tuesday, forgotten by invoicing on Friday.
On site
LeakThe skip nobody chasedTwelve days out and nobody noticed. Every extra day is a hire fee nobody billed and a skip you cannot send to the next job.
Weighbridge
LeakThe ticket in the cab1.4 tonnes on the ticket, one tonne on the invoice, because the ticket stayed in the cab and the invoice was done from memory. Disposal paid in full, weight billed in part.

Your drivers talk.
The system types.

Not another app for the drivers to ignore. A voice note is the whole interface, and one place is where the yard actually lives.

“Swapped 214 at Fore Street, fresh one is on, the old one weighed in at 1.4 tonnes, mixed load, and they want it another week.”

From the founder

I watched this happen inside a moving company

While running Fractal, I spent a long stretch working alongside the founder of a moving company on how to make the operation run better. Different trade, same shape: a calendar for the vehicles, chat for everything else, paper in the cab, and margin leaking in the gaps between the phone, the calendar and the invoice. A skip yard runs on exactly those gaps, with a weighbridge ticket and a hire period added on top.

So we built the system that desk needed. A yard needs the same thing: one place where the booking, the swap, the ticket and the invoice finally meet.

How it lands

Nothing stops, nothing migrates by hand, and it arrives working.

1A 15-minute call on your own skipsBring last month. We show you where it leaked: overdue hires nobody chased, tickets that never matched the invoice, swaps that vanished.
2We build it around how your yard runsAbout two weeks from go-ahead. Your sizes, your rounds, your weighbridge, your words. We do the lifting.
3It arrives workingNo training day and no forms. The drivers send voice notes like they already do. The system does the rest.

Fair questions

The three things every skip operator says on the first call.

They die because drivers won’t type at the end of a round. Ours listens instead: a voice note is the whole interface, and it chases the overdue skip nobody logged.
