A full day of order entry, now done in minutes

Hind’s Group runs 70 vehicles delivering sand and earthmoving services across WA’s building sites. Keying in 200 customer orders used to eat a whole day. Now the system does it automatically, in minutes, and the staff who used to do it are growing the business instead.

We used to take approximately a day to enter around 200 orders from customers. Now the system is automatically doing it and doing it in a matter of minutes.

The challenge

Hind’s Group had lost confidence in its dispatch software supplier. Support was thin, and the business doubted that supplier would ever build what it actually needed.

Meanwhile, every order came in the slow way. Around 200 customer orders took roughly a full day of staff time just to enter.

The solution

OneIT built one connected system for the whole order-to-delivery chain. Customers place their own orders, office staff dispatch from a single screen, and drivers pick up their jobs on a tablet or phone.

Digby Crawford says it was simple to work with a team that could translate what a sand and earthmoving business needs into working software.

The benefits

A day of keying, gone

Around 200 orders now flow in automatically in a matter of minutes, not a day.

Staff redeployed to growth

The people who used to type up orders now work on improving the business.
