HBP Transport, a Cumbria-based haulage firm, is streamlining operations and enhancing compliance through its new transport management system, provided by HaulTech. Specialising in a range of haulage services, including plant equipment and waste management, HBP Transport operates 16 HGVs and 24 vans. It holds an upper-tier waste carrier’s licence for muck shifts and runs its own waste transfer station.
After initially seeking a replacement for its legacy HGV tracking system, HBP Transport decided to invest in a comprehensive transport management and telematics solution after meeting with HaulTech. Julie Cooper, HBP’s Transport Administrator, explained: “Our previous tracking system lacked the reporting and compliance features we needed. HaulTech’s transport management system offered a full package, including HGV tracking, vehicle defect checks, and job planning—from booking through to invoicing.”
HaulTech’s Transport Management System (TMS) is designed to reduce administrative burdens by up to 80% while helping haulage firms manage costs. The system enables seamless job scheduling, assignment, and management through a single data entry point. Additionally, it integrates with popular accounting software such as Sage, streamlining the invoicing process.
HBP Transport has embraced several critical features of HaulTech’s solution, including HGV tracking, vehicle defect checks, and proof of delivery via a driver app. “Going paperless has sped up our processes significantly. We no longer input tickets manually—HaulTech’s TMS automates everything,” added Julie.
HaulTech’s system also offers a high level of flexibility. Julie praised HaulTech’s customer service: “They customised the vehicle defect checks in the app to meet our compliance needs, and their tracking capabilities have been invaluable for managing our rural routes. Whether pinpointing a vehicle’s location or assisting with breakdowns, HGV tracking has enhanced our efficiency and response times.”
Beyond transport management and tracking, HaulTech provides hauliers with various solutions, including warehouse management systems (WMS), vehicle cameras, and telematics hardware. Visit HaulTech to learn more about how HaulTech can improve transport operations.
