Quarry software: delivered pricing, orders & weighbridge

Quarries: price the product and the cartage in one go. Tonnes, distance and delivery sorted.

Price lists live in a PDF from 2023, cartage gets worked out on a calculator while the customer waits on hold and orders get scrawled on a docket book by the weighbridge. We build pricing, ordering, dispatch and weighbridge systems for quarries that work out the delivered price for you, then we host them and look after them.

Looking for quarry software that prices cartage and takes the order?

Nobody buys 20 tonnes of road base without asking what it costs on site. That answer depends on the product, the tonnes, the distance, the truck and whether they're an account customer or a cash job off the street. So the phone rings, someone pulls up Google Maps, does the maths on a calculator and writes it on a docket. Then the weighbridge ticket, the delivery and the invoice all get matched up by hand later in the week.

Wollopit builds custom quarry software around how your pit actually runs. Customers and contractors get a delivered price from their address in seconds and place the order themselves. Dispatch sees every truck and every load on one board. Weighbridge tickets flow straight to the order and the invoice in Xero or MYOB. We connect what already works at the weighbridge and in the office, replace what's holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers.

01The problems

What we hear from quarries

Does your quarry have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

Most quarries we talk to know their rock inside out and run the front office on phones, docket books and a whiteboard. It holds together until a wet week clears and every contractor in the district wants a load at 6am.

  • The problemCartage priced by phoneEvery delivered price means a phone call, a look at Google Maps and a calculator while the customer waits.
    How we fix itDelivered prices worked out from the site address, product, tonnes and truck size. Online or by the office in seconds.

03The systems

The big ones

Your whole quarry, on one system.

These are the systems quarries ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly useful once they're joined up.

Delivered pricing

Type an address. Get the delivered price.

Customers pick a product, enter the tonnes and the site address and get a delivered price straight away. Cartage is worked out from road distance, truck size and your own rates, so the office stops doing maths on hold.

  • Road distance from Google Maps
  • Cartage by zone, kilometre or both
  • Truck and trailer sizes with load limits
  • Minimum loads and part-load fees
  • Account customer rates on login
  • Pickup or delivered price side by side
  • Quotes saved and emailed as PDFs
  • Office uses the same calculator on phone orders
  • Price changes scheduled ahead

Orders & dispatch

Every truck and every load on one board.

Orders land in one place whether they came from the website, the phone or the portal. Dispatch drags them onto trucks and time slots and drivers get the job on their phone with the address and gate notes.

  • Online, phone and portal orders together
  • Dispatch board by truck and time
  • Clashes and overbooking flagged
  • Standing orders for big jobs
  • Jobs pushed to driver phones
  • Gate notes, site contacts and maps
  • Proof of delivery with photos and signature
  • SMS when the truck is on its way
  • Wet weather reschedules in bulk

Weighbridge & invoicing

From the bridge to the invoice without retyping.

Loaded weights come straight from the weighbridge and attach to the right order. The ticket prints or emails, the invoice goes to Xero or MYOB and overloads are caught before the truck leaves.

  • Links to your weighbridge indicator
  • Tickets matched to orders automatically
  • Tare weights stored per rego
  • Overload warnings against GVM
  • Emailed or printed tickets
  • Cash sales with tap to pay
  • Invoices straight into Xero or MYOB
  • Daily tonnes and takings report
  • Chain of responsibility records

Account portal

Contractors find their own tickets.

Builders, civil crews and landscapers log in to see their pricing, order history, tickets and statements. They reorder in a couple of taps and download test certs without ringing the office.

  • Account pricing and terms
  • Two-tap reorders
  • Every ticket and delivery photo
  • Statements and invoices to download
  • Orders grouped by job or project
  • Test certificates per order
  • Multiple users per account
  • Credit limits and account holds
  • Purchase order numbers on every invoice

Stockpiles & compliance

Know what's in the pile before it's gone.

Production in and sales out give you a running count of every stockpile. Test certificates, site inductions and carrier records sit in the same system so compliance stops living in inboxes.

  • Stockpile levels per product
  • Production logged by shift
  • Low-stock alerts
  • Test certs by product and batch
  • Online driver and visitor inductions
  • Induction expiry checked at the gate
  • Carrier insurance and rego records
  • Carrier payments from tickets
04How it changes

Before and after

A Monday morning of orders, wolloped.

Here's how a delivered order could change. Every quarry runs differently, so we map yours first.

Before

  1. Contractor rings for a delivered price
  2. Office looks up the distance and works cartage on a calculator
  3. Order written on a docket and walked to the yard
  4. Truck juggled on the whiteboard
  5. Ticket printed at the bridge and filed
  6. Ticket matched to an invoice later in the week

After

  1. Contractor gets the delivered price from the site address online
  2. Order placed on account in a couple of taps
  3. Dispatch drops it onto a truck and time slot
  4. Driver gets the job and gate notes on their phone
  5. Weighbridge ticket attaches to the order on its own
  6. Invoice lands in Xero before the truck gets back

07How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your quarry: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We spend time in the office, at the weighbridge and on the dispatch phone, then work out what's actually slowing you down.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your products, cartage rates, trucks, weighbridge, accounts, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the delivered price calculator or the weighbridge link first, so you get a win quickly.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.

08Questions

FAQ

Things quarries ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can it work out cartage from the customer's address?

Yes. It uses the road distance from your pit to the site plus your own rates by zone, kilometre, truck size and load. You set the rules and it does the maths every time.

Can it handle different rates for account customers?

Yes. Account customers see their own pricing, credit terms and order history when they log in. Cash customers see your standard prices.

Will it connect to our weighbridge?

Usually yes. Most weighbridge indicators and weighbridge software can send weights out, so tickets attach to orders and flow into invoicing. We'll check your setup during the Think stage.

Do we have to replace the software we already use?

No. If your weighbridge software, Pronto or accounting system is doing its job, we build around it. If something is holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.

Can it handle subbie truck carriers?

Yes. Contract carriers can get jobs on their phone and their loads are tallied from tickets with your cartage rates, so paying them stops being a docket-checking marathon.

How much does quarry software cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

How long does it take?

Smaller jobs like a delivered price calculator can be quick. Bigger systems are built in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.

Who looks after it once it's built?

We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.

We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?

Usually, yes. Most quarries we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
