Aggreg8, an ambitious aggregates business, has seen impressive growth since adopting specialist bulk haulage software, helping them double their output in record time.
Founded in 2021, Aggreg8 focuses on reclaiming aggregates from heavy waste. Their Barnston, Essex, facility transforms waste into reusable aggregates, pushing the construction industry closer to a circular economy. They started out managing operations with spreadsheets but soon found that scaling with demand called for something a bit more high-tech.
“We were using spreadsheets and paper to start with because that was sufficient for our needs,” explains Lauren Fryett, Aggreg8’s office manager. “However, as the business grew so quickly, we realised that we needed a dedicated system to manage it all.”
The Transport Management System (TMS) quickly became a key player in Aggreg8’s growth story. “Using the TMS allowed us to double our output by using our existing resources,” Lauren adds. “We continue to grow and are opening a second facility in Cambridge soon.”
A TMS transforms how bulk hauliers work, helping them cut admin time by up to 80%, lower operational costs, and streamline the entire process from job booking to invoicing. It’s an all-in-one solution for keeping things on track, so businesses like Aggreg8 can focus on what they do best.
While Aggreg8 runs their own trucks, they also rely on a network of trusted subcontractors. “At peak periods we can be managing 80 to 100 loads per day,” Lauren says. “HaulTech helps us manage our sub-contractors and our own vehicles, all from one system.”
The TMS does it all: recording jobs, assigning prices from rate tables, sending job instructions to drivers, and automatically generating and emailing invoices. “We use it for routing our own vehicles, and all our drivers have the HaulTech app,” Lauren shares. “This means they receive job information on their devices, which we also use to capture proof of delivery.”
After exploring other options, Aggreg8 chose HaulTech for its simplicity. “We felt that HaulTech was the most straightforward,” Lauren says. “It really simplifies our processes, from job booking and planning to proof of delivery and invoicing.”
After signing up to use Transport Software, Aggreg8 were provided on-site training that Lauren’s team found invaluable. “Most of my office team are trained on HaulTech. They came out to us to deliver on-site training, which we found really valuable. They are also extremely helpful if we have any queries. If we’ve ever had a connectivity issue, for example, they always react quickly to solve it.”
With over 1,500 users across the UK and Ireland, our Transport Management System is trusted by hauliers to boost efficiency, speed, and ease in their everyday work. For Aggreg8, the Transport Management System has proven to be the perfect partner in their rapid growth journey – and we’re excited to support them every step of the way.
