For receiving sites
From the booking to the Yard receipt
Keep the collection and what actually arrives at your site connected. Check the load, record weight and differences, then review and submit the receiving-site receipt through the configured PaperRoute connection.
PaperRoute is listed by DEFRA as compatible software for reporting receipt of waste. We check each eligible site's setup before live reporting. Waste Transfer Notes remain a separate duty.

Sound familiar?
If you're running a skip hire business without proper management software, you already know these headaches. They cost you time, money, and customers every single week.
Jobs scribbled on whiteboards and sticky notes. Drivers miss pickups. Customers chase you for updates you don't have.
Council permit applications by post or phone. Expired permits you didn't catch. Fines that eat into your margins.
Every order comes through a phone call. Your team spends half the day answering the same questions instead of dispatching skips.
Where are your skips right now? Which ones are due for collection? You shouldn't need to ring three drivers to find out.
There's a better way to run your operation.
Everything you need
One platform to run your entire skip hire operation
From booking and driver assignment to container movements, Yard checks and invoicing, keep the work connected in one record.
Skip Hire Day Scheduling
See booked jobs and unassigned work on a day board. Assign drivers, order stops and update the plan when the day changes.
- Day board with unassigned jobs
- Assign and reorder driver runs
- Customer booking details together

Skip Hire Driver App & Live Fleet Tracking
Drivers get the day's jobs and navigation in the app. The office can follow vehicle progress and see where containers were last recorded.

- Real-time ETA for customers
Yard Receipts & Digital Waste Tracking

- Yard load and weight checks
- Review before reporting
- Submission status and corrections

Receipt review in a demonstration account; live reporting is configured for eligible sites.

Customer Updates Without the Admin Chasing

Automated emails keep customers informed at every stage — from confirmation to delivery day reminders and collection alerts. Your office team can take payment, update records, and manage job progress directly from the scheduling dashboard, reducing duplicated admin and keeping every job moving.

Digital Waste Tracking Timeline
Defra is mandating mandatory digital waste tracking in phases. Permitted waste receiving sites are first from October 2026, followed by carriers, brokers and dealers from October 2027.
SkipRoute runs on PaperRoute, which DEFRA lists as compatible software for receiving-site reporting. We configure and check eligible site connections before live use. Digital WTNs remain a separate requirement; collector reporting follows in 2027.
