Kerbco explained: drop kerb and vehicle crossing permits software that runs the whole job

What Kerbco is for

Kerbco exists because dropped kerb contractors, civils firms and driveway installers keep running the same workflow — customer enquiry to council application to permit approval to works to compliance pack — across tools that were never designed to talk to each other. Drop kerb work is administratively brutal. Kerbco turns the council chain into a tracked pipeline. Rather than adding another app beside the pile, Kerbco owns the whole chain so the same record follows the job from first enquiry to paid invoice.

What it does

The platform is deliberately narrow. It does the operational core of drop kerb and vehicle crossing permits properly rather than doing everything badly:

• Council-by-council application rules held in one place and kept current
• Application tracking with status, fees paid and dates recorded per job
• Street Manager and permit chain handling built into the workflow
• Customer updates sent automatically as the application moves
• Compliance packs assembled from the job record, not rebuilt by hand

Before and after

Before: every council wanting a different form, different fee and different evidence — tracked in a spreadsheet. Information exists, but it exists in four places and none of them agree. After: one record per job, updated by the people doing the work, visible to the office in real time. The measurable difference is applications submitted right first time, fewer rejections and customers who stop ringing to ask where it is.

What it connects to

You do not throw away the software that already works. Kerbco connects to council portals, Street Manager, payment collection and customer notifications, so finance keeps its accounts package and the field keeps its phone. Where a connection does not exist yet, we build it — the integration layer is part of the product, not an add-on.

Is it right for your business?

Kerbco suits dropped kerb contractors, civils firms and driveway installers who are past the point where a spreadsheet copes but not big enough to run a full enterprise system. If your admin load grows in a straight line with your turnover, that is the signal. If you already have a system that works and just needs joining up, we would connect it instead — that is usually the cheaper answer.
