The industry has a problem
Skip hire is stuck in the past
700+
UK skip hire operators still managing their fleet on paper, whiteboards, and spreadsheets
43%
of skip deliveries miss their promised timeframe, leading to customer complaints and lost repeat business
68%
of customers say poor communication is their biggest frustration with skip hire companies
These aren't just numbers. They're lost revenue, frustrated customers, and wasted hours. We're here to fix that.
Sound familiar?
If you're running a skip hire business, 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.
