Job Scheduling Software and Dispatch for Waste Collections
Our job scheduling software gives your office a clear weekly and monthly view of every route, driver and collection. Drag routes onto drivers, track each job from draft to verified, and let the system text and email customers a week before and the day before you arrive.
Job Scheduling Software Built for Waste Rounds
General job scheduling software is built for plumbers and engineers doing one job at a time. Waste businesses don't work like that. You run rounds with dozens of stops, mix scheduled and ad-hoc jobs, and need every collection to end with paperwork that satisfies the regulator.
Our job scheduling software is designed around waste rounds. Routes, not single jobs, are the main unit of work. Each route has a driver, a vehicle, a date and an ordered list of stops, and each stop links to a customer, a waste stream and the paperwork it will produce.
Drag-and-Drop Dispatch Calendar
The dispatch calendar gives your office a weekly and monthly view of every route, grouped by driver and day. You can:
Drag and drop
routes between drivers and days
See at a glance
who's busy, who's free and which days are overloaded
Open any route
to view its stops, timings and van capacity
Spot gaps
where you could add more collections
Changes are instant. When you move a route, the driver's app updates straight away.
Route Status from Draft to Verified
Every route moves through clear stages:
Draft.
Being planned in the office.
Assigned.
Allocated to a driver and vehicle.
In progress.
The driver has started.
Verified.
Completed and checked by the office.
The status is shown on the calendar and on the live map, so everyone knows where things stand. Verification is also the trigger for your compliance records: when a route is verified, the matching digital waste tracking records are drafted automatically.
Automatic Customer Reminders
Missed collections cost money. When a customer forgets you're coming, the bins are locked away or the site is closed, and you've wasted a trip.
The scheduler sends automatic reminders by SMS and email a week before and the day before each collection, with an estimated arrival window worked out from the route. Customers know when to expect you, and you'll see fewer wasted journeys.
Driver Rotas and Availability
Keep track of who's available before you plan the week. The scheduler can hold driver rotas, holidays and sickness, vehicle availability, and permissions such as which drivers can reorder stops on their route. Driver hours, breaks and overtime are logged through the driver app, so you can see who's close to their limits before giving them another route.
