RunDesk

Skip bin & waste operations software

Skip bin software built by a skip bin business

RunDesk runs bookings, invoices, drivers, tipping and the workshop for Australian skip-bin and waste-transport operators — on the office computer, the tablet in the yard and every driver's phone, even with no signal.

  • 30-day free trial, no card
  • From $89/month ex GST
  • Data stored in Sydney
RunDesk Office: bin availability by size across the top, the booking calendar and the day's deliveries, changeovers and pickups (demo data).
RunDesk Driver on a phone: today's run sheet in the order the office set (demo data).

Built and used in Newcastle, NSW. RunDesk was written inside a working skip bin business, and Newcastle Skip Co is the first operator running on it.

What it does

One system from the phone call to the tip docket

No more whiteboard, spreadsheet, group chat and invoice book that never quite agree. Everyone works from the same live jobs.

Take bookings fast

See which bin sizes are free on any day before you say yes. Deliveries, changeovers and pickups go straight onto the calendar, priced by your delivery zones.

Get drivers out on time

Plan the run in the office; each driver sees their run sheet in order on their phone, with photos, dockets and prestart checks done on the spot.

Know what got tipped

The yard sees which bins are waiting to be tipped and writes weighbridge tickets, so weights and tip charges are on the job, not on a scrap of paper.

Invoice without retyping

Quotes and GST tax invoices come from the job, with your ABN on them. See who owes what from the job card.

Keep trucks on the road

Faults from prestart checks land in the workshop with the truck, the kilometres and what's due for service.

Bookings from your website

Customers book on your own website, priced by your zones and checked against your stock. Requests wait in Booking Approvals for you.

The apps

Five apps, one login each

Every person signs in with their own login, and their login decides what they can open. Switch between apps with one tap.

Workshop

Who it's for

Made for operators with 1 to 25 trucks

RunDesk suits Australian businesses that hire skip bins or run hook-lift, front-lift, rear-lift and bulk-haulage work — the sort of operator where the owner still answers the phone and knows every truck.

  • Skip bin hire for households, builders and businesses
  • Hook-lift and bulk haulage, with your own bin categories
  • Waste transport with tipping at your own yard or a transfer station
  • Anyone currently running jobs off a whiteboard, spreadsheet or general job app

Questions

Common questions

Does it work without phone signal?

Yes. Each phone or tablet keeps a copy of the company's RunDesk data, so drivers and the yard keep working in dead spots. A "working offline" banner shows, and changes send automatically when the connection is back.

Where is our data stored?

In Australia — in Supabase's Sydney region. Each company can only see its own records; that's enforced by the database itself, not just the app.

Is there a lock-in contract?

No. Pay monthly and cancel any time, or prepay a year and get 2 months free.

We run everything off a spreadsheet. How hard is it to switch?

Start with your bin sizes, prices and delivery zones, then add customers as they ring. During the trial we'll help you bring your customer list across from a spreadsheet.
