Skip Manager Waste Management Software

Skip Manager helps you organise your delivery of Waste Skips and it ensures the right skip is available and delivered to the right customer on time every time. It helps you keep track of customers and trucks and it eases your scheduling and data entry by ensuring the maximum availability of skips and trucks. The system requires that an operation have their skips sorted into different sizes or "types" - this can be one type only or any number of different types, but each skip must have a type associated with it. For the purposes of the software, the skips must be numbered numerically, and each skip must have a unique number. What the number is is up to you, but it must be a number only, with no characters, spaces, etc. The number only needs to be entered once and no record of the number need be kept if that is the desire. The program will automatically number skips if the tracking of individual skips is not required. The Skip Types can be whatever name you like.  So, for example, you might have three skips types - 1m3, 2m3 and 3m3, and you might have 3 skips of each type, with skips 1,2 & 3 of skip type 1m3, skips 4,5 & 6 of skip type 2m3 and skips 7,8 & 9 of skip type 3m3.

To enter a job into the system the customer details must first be entered:

Once these have been entered (you can enter as much or as little as you like, but more information will make it easier to track jobs in future) you can create a new job for this customer. There are 3 types of jobs:

Standard jobs (delivery and pick up of a single skip)

Ongoing jobs (rotating delivery of a skip to the same address on a regular basis)

Other jobs (a non-skip-related job, such as chemical waste or cleaning)

Each of these job types require the customer record to exist before they can be entered into the system. Multiple skips require multiple jobs being entered. The system will keep track of skip availability and it will not allow you to enter a job for a particular skip type on a particular day if there are no skips of that type available for the required period

You can also check for skip availability manually and ask the system for the next date on which a particular skip type will be available.

Once the jobs have been entered they can be scheduled for delivery/pickup by the trucks. This is a manual process, but it is helped by sorting/grouping according to delivery area and job type. Jobs can be scheduled/unscheduled/sorted within each truck until the order/selection of jobs for each truck is complete. 

This is printed as a report with all relevent customer, delivery and payment details and it is given to each driver so they only have to follow the order on the sheet for each day.

Once deliveries have been completed the job sheets are returned and they can be processed. This involves the updating of payment details and marking as completed jobs. 

The system will automatically schedule the pickup 7 (or however many) days later in the system so once a job has been entered the system will keep track of it and ensure the skip is picked up when it should be.  Pickup dates and details can be changed as required for each job, ensuring maximum flexibility. The system will also keep track of outstanding payments and warn an operator when entering a new job if there are amounts outstanding.

The printed reports available from the system include truck schedules, used by the truck drivers to know where to go each day:

Other printed reports include the outstanding payments report showing all outstanding payment customers (and amounts), customer job history reports, outstanding job notifications and a skip locations report.  There are also management summary reports available:
