Drop kerb & vehicle crossing permits // Scotland · UK-wide
One input, eleven outputs: a drop kerb contractor built a £50k pipeline with no admin team.
Kerbco replaced the entire manual drop kerb permit chain — quoting, permit fees, Street Manager, council references, utility drawings, crew certification and compliance packs — with a single automated sequence triggered by one enquiry form.
TIMELINE: Enquiry-to-permit chain live in 9 weeks; mapping engine replaced the paid licence at week 14

ENQUIRY TO PRICED QUOTE
The problem
Every enquiry triggered the same eleven-step manual chain: hand-price the crossing, chase the permit fee, open a Street Manager account, wait on the council reference, request statutory undertaker utility drawings, dig out operative certification, and assemble health and safety, RAMS and reinstatement paperwork by hand. A missing drawing or an out-of-date ticket sends an application to the back of a four-to-eight week queue. Site mapping was bought in at £16.90 per job, a cost that scaled with every quote — including the ones that never converted. With no admin headcount, growth was capped by how much paperwork one person could physically process.
What we built
The customer completes one enquiry form, and that is now the entire manual data-entry burden. Kerbco prices the crossing automatically from width, footway build-up and the council fee, and issues a real quote in minutes. Acceptance captures the permit fee, and that payment arms the rest of the chain: a Street Manager record is opened and submitted, the returned permit reference lands back on the job, and utility drawing requests for gas, water, electric and telecoms fire automatically. Certified operatives are assigned from a credential library with expiry dates, and the health and safety, RAMS and reinstatement pack is generated against the job. Forth built an in-house mapping engine, retiring the paid map licence entirely. Traffic management stays deliberately manual in Roadplan — the operator draws the signage, coning and pedestrian routing that becomes both the council plan and the crew sign install sheet.
“I put the job in once. By the time I've made a coffee the quote is out, and once they accept, the permit, the drawings and the paperwork all handle themselves. The only thing I actually draw is the traffic management — and that's the bit that should have a human on it.”
