The problem
Running a fleet blind costs you time and money
Without real-time skip tracking, you're always one step behind — reacting to problems instead of preventing them.
No Visibility on Your Fleet
Skips go out and you have no idea where they are until the driver radios in. If something goes wrong, you're always reacting, never ahead of it.
Customers Calling to Ask Where Their Skip Is
Chasing delivery updates is your office team's most time-wasting call. The same question, dozens of times a day.
Lost and Misplaced Skips
Skips placed in the wrong location or left on-hire too long cost replacement fees, permit fines, and customer goodwill.
How it works
Everything you need for real-time skip tracking
From driver app updates to customer self-serve, SkipRoute gives you complete visibility over every skip in your fleet.
Step 1
Live Fleet Map
GPS positions of all vehicles and skips on a single dashboard map. See deliveries, on-hire skips, and scheduled collections at a glance.
- Real-time vehicle locations
- Skip status overlay (on-hire, pending collection, available)
- Filter by driver or vehicle
- Mobile-responsive map dashboard
- Automatic location updates every 2 minutes
Step 2
GPS Skip Location Tracking
Every skip delivery logs a GPS coordinate. Know exactly where each skip was placed, when it was delivered, and when it was collected.
- GPS-stamped delivery confirmation
- On-hire duration tracking
- Collection due alerts
- Photo proof of placement
- Audit trail for permit compliance
Step 3
Customer Tracking Portal
Give customers a self-serve link to check their skip status, expected collection date, and delivery confirmation — without calling your office.
- Branded tracking link sent via SMS and email
- Live delivery and collection status
- Expected collection date display
- No login required for customers
- Reduces inbound calls by up to 60%
Step 4
Driver App Real-Time Updates
When drivers tap 'Delivered' or 'Collected' in the app, the fleet map and customer portal update instantly. No manual admin required.
- One-tap job status updates
- Works offline and syncs on reconnect
- Photo capture on delivery and collection
- Push notifications to office on job completion
- Live driver ETA for office team
