FAST-GROWING AGGREGATES BUSINESS, AGGREG8 UTILISES HAULTECH’S BULK HAULAGE SOFTWARE TO HELP RAPIDLY SCALE UP.
Aggreg8 was founded in 2021 with a focus on reclaiming aggregates from heavy waste. Its facility in Barnston, Essex, sifts waste to enable reuse of aggregates, bringing circular economy benefits to the construction industry. The company started off using spreadsheets but found it hard to scale up as demand grew.
“We were using spreadsheets and paper to start with because that was sufficient for our needs,” said Lauren Fryett, office manager. “However, as the business grew so quickly, we realised that we needed a dedicated system to manage it all.”
“We have enjoyed very rapid growth and HaulTech has played a key part in that. Using the TMS allowed us to double our output by using our existing resources. We continue to grow and are opening a second facility in Cambridge soon.”
HaulTech’s multi award-winning Bulk Haulage Transport Software solutions are, says HaulTech, proven to transform haulage businesses. This dedicated TMS for bulk hauliers enables them to reduce administrative processes by up to 80%, minimise operational costs, and manage the entire process from job booking to invoice.
Aggreg8 has its own trucks for bulk haulage, but also uses a trusted network of sub-contractors. “At peak periods we can be managing 80 to 100 loads per day,” added Lauren. “HaulTech helps us to manage our sub-contractors and our own vehicles, all from one system.”
Haultech enables users to record a job and allocate pricing from rate tables, send the job instructions to the driver, and automatically generate and email invoices. “We use it for routing our own vehicles and all our drivers have the HaulTech app,” said Lauren. “This means they receive job information on their devices, which we also use to capture proof of delivery.”
Aggreg8 looked at other TMS providers before choosing HaulTech. “We felt that HaulTech was the most straightforward. It really simplifies our processes from job booking, planning and routing through to proof of delivery and invoicing.”
“Most of my office team are trained on HaulTech. They came out to us to deliver on-site training which we found really valuable. They are also extremely helpful if we have any queries. If we’ve ever had a connectivity issue for example, they always react quickly to solve it.”
According to HaulTech, the company’s transport management systems are trusted by over 1500+ users across the UK and Ireland, The HaulTech Bulk Haulage System is designed to improve and enhance a haulier’s existing workflow and processes. This enables them to work in a faster, smarter and easier manner.
