Before
The Challenge
Sharp Skips faced several persistent operational bottlenecks. Data flow and analytics were difficult to access and interpret, resulting in delays in decision-making. Time-to-tip duration at our depot was high because drivers were forced to collect paperwork and job details physically, causing interruptions and inefficiencies. The invoicing process was still manual and time-consuming, lacking automation or systemised controls. Additionally, the absence of proper checks and balances left room for human error, impacting accuracy and accountability. TL;DR: Sharp Skips reduced admin time by 35%, cut transport costs by 7%, and halved job allocation time using Waste Logics’ waste management software. This case study shows how they modernised their operations, improved visibility, and freed up their team for better customer service.
The Decision
The Decision
Initially using RAMS, Sharp Skips began evaluating alternatives. The team explored both Waste Logics and Midsoft, ultimately selecting Waste Logics for its industry-focused feature set, ease of use, and cloud-based architecture. "With years of valuable data in our legacy system, I was understandably cautious about the upgrade. However, the onboarding process was thorough and well-structured, with support provided. The all-important aftercare has been just as good."
