A 360 is sat there not digging and somebody is paying for it by the hour. Take the callout at four in the morning, from a compound rather than an address, and give an hour rather than a promise.
Online booking
The site manager rings three vans and books whoever commits first. Your page offers a slot you can genuinely make, out of hours included.

Two planned changeouts and a tipper lorry that lets go on the A-road. Move things about on one board and everyone booked is told for you.
Learn moreA hose van does not run a diary, it runs a list of machines that are not working. Called in, rolling, on site, going again: the stage is what the contractor rings to ask about, so it is the first thing the page shows.
Pro scores your open slots by the driving each one adds, so the hour you commit to at four in the morning is one you can reasonably keep.
Open slots come back in order of how much extra driving each one puts on the van, with the least worst marked, rather than as a flat list.
Availability is what you set. Run a twenty four hour phone and the page offers night slots; if you do not, it says so rather than guessing.
A roadside tipper hose and a full fleet changeout are not the same length, so the slot offered is the length of the one they picked.
A good deal of your work has no usable postcode. Take the gate and the landmark, and keep the site under the customer so the next call knows the way.
Nearest postcode plus what actually gets you there: which entrance, which compound, who holds the key and whether the track takes a van.
One hirer, six sites. Each keeps its own access and induction notes rather than everything living in one long note on the account.
Set the areas you cover. Anything beyond them is turned away on the page rather than appearing in the run and being unpicked later.
No callback, no haggling over a rate at that hour. A time, a machine and directions somebody can actually follow in the dark.
Hose spec, fitting type and pressure rating sit against that unit, so the next call about it is a two-minute stock check instead of a guess.
A second van is only worth having if the callout reaches whoever is actually on. Each fitter has their own hours, and the board honours them.
Built for your trade
The most time-critical work you do, and the reason the van carries stock. Booked at a genuine next slot rather than promised a callback.
Awkward to reach and urgent in season. The track, the gate and who holds the key all sit on the job rather than in a text.
Often needing shifting before it can be worked on properly. The haulier stays one customer with each vehicle held under it.
A hirer cannot let a machine sit on a site earning nothing. Their depots, their fleet numbers and every hose you have made on one card.
A day lost is a crop at risk. The field is not a postcode, so the landmark and the gate go on the booking instead.
The work that pays properly. A fleet through the yard with hoses replaced before they fail, booked ahead and quoted as a block.
Short jobs on a hire yard that fill the gaps between failures, priced by the hour with the callout on its own line.
The site keeps its own access and induction notes, so a second stoppage there does not begin with a call about getting through the gate.
Seasonal, filthy and time-bound. Held under the farm with its own history rather than mixed in with the hire fleet work.
Three ways to price the same stoppage: get it digging again, do the pair that always go together, or go through the machine at the next service.
Hose length, fitting type and pressure rating are their own lines, so a queried figure traces back to the metre it came from.
The failed hose alone beside the pair that always go together, so the hirer chooses while the machine is still stood there.
The quote leaves your phone before you are back on the road, which tends to be before the site has finished its incident report.
Out-of-hours loading, a longer hose run, ORFS instead of BSP, a second hose off the same block. Ticking one moves the quoted total rather than requiring a re-type. Priced options come with Pro.
With nothing left tonight the page takes the job regardless, so the site is talking to you rather than working down its list of vans.
Machine, site, what let go and a photograph of the fitting in one place, so you can judge the urgency without ringing back from under a 360.
Reply from the record. What you told the site manager at midnight is still there when the office queries it a fortnight later.
A changeout that finishes early is a gap you fill from the same screen, and the confirmation sees itself out without your help.
Excavator has dumped its oil off the boom line and we are stopped in the pit. Anything at all tonight?
Cash and transfers you record by hand cost nothing on any plan. Cards come with Pro, and nothing sits in a Bookables account on the way through.
Mark the job paid when the transfer lands. That costs nothing on any plan and it is not quietly moving behind a paywall later.
The payment request is emailed to the account contact on the file, which is seldom the person who rang you from the cab at four.
Every callout for that hirer sits on one card, so an invoice queried in November has the machine and the night it came from beneath it.
Add your whole team and get booking for nothing.
As you grow with us you can go Pro.
One app for the whole job
If those are hours you work, yes. Availability is yours to set and can run through the night, so the page offers callouts you will genuinely turn out for rather than a nine to five nobody in this trade keeps.
Take the nearest postcode you can get and put the gate, the pin and the landmark on the job. The site is kept under the contractor, so the next callout there begins with the way in already written down.
They can. Each machine is its own record under the customer with its own history, so the hose length, fitting type and pressure rating from last time are there when it goes again.
It can. The payment request is emailed to the account contact you nominate, which is seldom the person stood next to the machine, so nothing rests on a docket surviving the cab.
Set the areas you cover and leave the rest out. Anything beyond them is turned away on the page rather than appearing in your run at midnight and being unpicked by telephone.
Yes. A hire fleet gone through before the season sits on the same board as tonight’s failure, quoted as one job with a line per machine, so the planned work does not permanently lose to the urgent.
