GoMuc case study: sourcing tippers, grabs and skips without the ringaround

GoMuc replaces the daily phone ringaround with a live marketplace: a job is posted once, verified suppliers and drivers respond, the docket is captured on the phone, and the invoice fires from the signed drop.

How a job runs, end to end

Every stage below is a real handover in the business. GoMuc removes the phone calls and the re-keying between them.

  1. 01

    Post the job once

    Site manager posts the load, material, window and site access from the phone instead of ringing six yards.

    MOBILE APP · SITE LIST

  2. 02

    Match against the network

    The job goes to the contractor's own preferred yards and the wider verified network at the same time.

    MATCHING ENGINE · SUPPLIER LIST

  3. 03

    Award and dispatch

    Prices come back in one comparable list. Award with a tap, or direct-award to a known supplier.

    QUOTE COMPARE · DISPATCH

  4. 04

    Capture the docket

    Weight, ticket, WTN and signature captured at the weighbridge or tip point — nothing on paper.

    NOPRINT DOCKETS

  5. 05

    Invoice from the drop

    Signed docket triggers the invoice straight into Xero or Sage, so days-to-invoice collapses.

GoMuc process: Post the job once → Match against the network → Award and dispatch → Capture the docket → Invoice from the drop.

What changes

BEFORE

  • Two to three hours a day ringing yards for Hiabs, grabs and skips.
  • Prices coming back by text, WhatsApp and email with nothing comparable.
  • Paper dockets going missing between site and office.
  • Drivers running back to the yard empty.

AFTER

  • One post reaches every verified supplier and driver at once.
  • Every price lands in one list with rates and availability side by side.
  • Dockets captured at source, signed, timestamped and searchable.
  • Backloads offered to drivers before they tip.

Questions operators ask

Do we have to drop our existing suppliers to use GoMuc?

No. Preferred yards are onboarded alongside the contractor and every job posts to that list first, then to the wider verified network. The point is to stop the phone calls, not to change who you buy from.

How quickly do jobs actually get matched?

On the Edinburgh rollout the median match time settled under two hours, with routine skip and muckaway runs typically covered the same morning they were posted.

Can we still price and award a job manually?

Yes. Operators can price by hand, direct-award to a known supplier, or bypass matching entirely. Every automated match is a suggestion that a person can override.

How does invoicing speed up?

The signed docket is the invoice trigger. Weight, ticket and waste transfer note land in Xero or Sage the moment a delivery is signed off, so there is no paper to find or re-key.
