For one and two lorry skip hire firms
When the same person takes the calls, sets the rounds and does the invoices in the evening.
In a small skip hire firm the same person answers the phone, plans the rounds, sometimes drives, then does the invoices in the evening. BenneCRM is built for that: an order takes about thirty seconds to enter, including from a phone, tomorrow's round fits on one screen, and completed orders stay visible until they are invoiced. The Starter plan covers up to 2 drivers at €30 a month excluding VAT, with every feature included.
The problem with being the only one in the office
While the business fits in one head, everything works. The spreadsheet is fine, the notebook is fine, and you know where the skips are because you put them there.
It gets harder the day a customer rings about an order from three weeks ago, or a skip is still sitting on a finished site, or you need to find what was invoiced last month. These are not organisation problems, they are memory problems: the information exists, but it is not written down anywhere you can use.
Then there is the invoicing in the evening. It is the first job to get dropped after a long day, and the most expensive one to drop.
What actually changes
The order is entered during the call
Customer, site address, skip size, waste type, date. The price comes from your list, so you are not hunting for it.
A phone is enough
The screen adapts to a phone, with no app to install. You can enter an order from the cab between runs.
You can see the skips still out
An order stays open until the collection has happened. A filter shows live hires, and a map shows where they are.
Nothing leaves without being invoiced
Completed orders stay on the list to invoice until an invoice exists. The list is what replaces remembering.
You know who owes you money
Every payment is marked off, the invoice shows the balance, and one list gives you the unpaid invoices with their age.
The customer agrees before the lorry goes
An order form emailed, signed online, timestamped. No more argument about what was agreed.
What it costs
The Starter plan is €30 a month excluding VAT for the whole company, up to 2 drivers. The price does not depend on how many people are in the office: you create as many accounts as you need.
Every feature is included. There is no cut down version: invoicing, payment tracking, the map, the history and online signing are all there from the first plan.
The trial runs for a month, with no card. If you go no further the account becomes read only and nothing is charged.
Common questions
- Is it worth it with one lorry?
- If you lose time hunting for information, or you sometimes invoice late, yes. At €30 a month, one hire that would otherwise have been forgotten covers the year.
- I am not comfortable with computers, is it complicated?
- You work from three screens: the orders, the day's schedule and the invoicing. We do the setup with you, including entering your prices and your customers.
- What happens if I go to 3 drivers?
- You change plan from your account and move to €80 a month for up to 10 drivers. It takes effect straight away and nothing moves in your data.
- Can I bring my current spreadsheet across?
- Yes. We move your customers and prices across with you from your file. It is part of the subscription.
