8 ways Trade2Base helps skip hire businesses
Skip tracking, permit management, route planning and campaign attribution in one system.
See every skip on a live list with its delivery address, delivery date and due-collect date. Know at a glance which skips need collecting today and which are due tomorrow — without calling customers.
Trade2Base automatically messages customers four weeks after their last hire to prompt a repeat booking. Stay top of mind without lifting a finger and fill your schedule before the phone starts ringing.
Send customers a WhatsApp message when their skip is on its way, when it has been delivered and when it has been collected. Cuts missed deliveries and reduces inbound calls about ETAs.
Record council permit numbers, permit reference dates and permitted road positions per skip. Get reminded when a permit is due to expire so you can extend or collect before enforcement.
Connect your leaflet drops, Facebook ads and Google campaigns to the bookings they generate. See revenue and cost per booking by channel so you know exactly which local marketing is worth repeating.
Generate professional VAT invoices that include skip hire, permit surcharges and any extension fees. Send a Stripe payment link and track paid and overdue invoices — all skip hire bookings..
View all deliveries and collections on a single calendar by day, driver or vehicle. Drag and drop to reorder stops, optimise routes and send drivers a daily run sheet from the app.
Store digital waste transfer notes against each job. Stay fully compliant with Environment Agency requirements and retrieve any note in seconds if you are audited.
Know where every skip is. Invoice the moment it returns.
Stop relying on spreadsheets and whiteboards. Trade2Base gives every skip a digital record with live location, due-collect date and council permit details — and fires a VAT invoice the moment you mark a skip as collected.
- Track live skip locations and due-collect dates
- Automated customer collection reminders
- Council permit records per skip
- VAT invoice on collection
What skip hire businesses say about Trade2Base
“Before Trade2Base I was running skip locations off a whiteboard. Now every skip has a digital record with the address, collection date and permit number. I know exactly what needs collecting each day without phoning around.”
“The four-week rebooking reminder is brilliant. Customers who have used us before get a WhatsApp and half of them rebook without us doing anything. It has probably added fifteen bookings a month that we were previously missing.”
“The waste transfer note storage alone has saved me hours every quarter. I used to dig through paper files when the Environment Agency asked for records. Now I pull them up in seconds from any job in Trade2Base.”
