Delivery tracking
Crews stop driving to empty sites. Every open order is watched until it arrives, and late ones get flagged days ahead.

hours a week back, typically
How it runs
What we build, step by step.
This is the usual shape. Yours gets built around how your team actually does the job.
- 01
Open orders listed
Every order sent, with its promised date and the job it's for.
- 02
Confirmations chased
Suppliers who haven't confirmed an order within a day get a short reminder from your address.
- 03
Tracking collected
Dispatch notes and tracking numbers are read from supplier emails, and the status is checked with the carrier where possible.
- 04
Late orders flagged against jobs
If a delivery slips past the date it's needed, the job and the people affected are flagged, with the supplier's latest reply.
- 05
Short deliveries recorded
When the crew notes something missing or damaged, it's recorded against the order so the invoice gets checked for it.
Shown with software we see a lot. If your team uses something else, we build it into that instead.
Built for your business
Same job, different business. We build yours.
Two firms in the same trade rarely run a job the same way. Different software, different steps, different people signing off. We build it for your business, around how your team actually does the job.
Your steps
Built around the order your team already works in, odd exceptions included.
Your software
Runs inside the tools you already pay for, set up the way you use them.
Your rules
Your wording, your limits, your sign-offs. Nothing generic goes out in your name.
You sign off
Your team keeps the final say.
Routine chasers go out on their own once you've approved the wording. Moving a job or switching supplier because of a late delivery is a person's call.
What it's worth
What those hours add up to.
3 hours a week, over 46 working weeks, is 138 hours a year. At $50 an hour, that’s
$6,900
back in the business, every year.
Typical, not promised.
Before and after
The job, before and after.
How it runs today
Orders go out and nobody checks on them until the day they're needed. A crew turns up to an empty site, the office rings the supplier, and the materials are still sitting in the warehouse.

A month in
You know about a late delivery days ahead, while you can still move the job. Short deliveries stop getting paid for in full.
FAQ
Most of our suppliers deliver on their own vans. Does tracking still work?
Mostly, yes. There's no carrier tracking for a supplier's own vans and lorries, but confirmation and dispatch emails still work. Suppliers who only confirm by phone show up on a short call list instead.
Can the crew report a short delivery easily?
Yes. A photo and a line in the job notes, or a text, is enough to record a short delivery against the order, so the supplier invoice gets checked for it.
