Your Depot on Its Best Day

Everyone works from the same live picture of orders, trucks, and loads instead of scattered notes. Dispatch, yard, weighbridge, and finance share one history for every shipment. Queues shorten, overtime drops, and claims turn into short investigations instead of long disputes.

Start Small and Grow

Begin with email to ticket and one Planner board, then add automation, templates, and dashboards only where they prove value.

Keep Existing Systems

Use Planfix as an operational layer around weighbridge and accounting so you avoid risky replacements during early rollout.

Implement without Heavy Projects

Configure fields, boards, and processes yourself or with light partner help using no code tools and ready templates.
