Before and after
The old way
The phone rings. Someone reaches for the pad.
They work out roughly how far the site is, remember what the last customer out that way paid, add the material on and give a number.
Four minutes if they know what they are doing. Longer if they do not, and different again if it is someone else on the desk tomorrow.
A price from memory drifts. Quote high and the job goes somewhere else. Quote low and you find out when the invoice does not cover the diesel.
So the pricing lives in two or three people's heads. Which is fine until August.
The way it works with MilesPricing
Every quarry, depot and yard you deliver from.
Fixed prices on the squares you know. Journey time bands for everywhere else.
Postcode in, delivered price out, logged against the enquiry.
And we do the setting up. Send us your rate sheet and your quarry list. Your products, origins and bands will be loaded before we speak. You will not be typing anything in.
Delivery pricing
Forty minutes up the A11 is not forty minutes through Cambridge at eight in the morning. Bands follow estimated HGV journey time, so the price reflects the run rather than the distance.
Where you know better than the model does, paint the square by hand. A regular customer on an agreed rate, a bad access road, a bridge you cannot get an artic under. Painted squares always win.

Private pages
A groundworker pricing a job on Sunday evening is not waiting until Monday for a number. He is ringing somebody else.
Give him a page with your logo on it, a PIN and his prices. What comes back arrives already priced, against the product and the page it came from.
Different customers get different pages, so a trade account and a one off are not looking at the same numbers. Nothing to install at their end, and nothing published that you have not chosen to publish.
Catalogue
Each line carries its supply quarry, its base price and the bands behind it. Change a band once and every page using it updates.
Per tonne or per load. Tonnage bands, fresh air, haulage only lines for the jobs where you are moving somebody else's material. Archive a product and it stays recoverable rather than disappearing.

And the housekeeping
Each request recorded against the page and product it came from.
Who can see prices, who can change them, who can only read.
Nothing is deleted outright. Archived products come back.
Update the band, not eleven pages. The old rate stops immediately.
What it is worth
Think of the last job you wish you had priced higher. Then the one before that. That is the number this has to beat, and it is usually bigger than the time saved on the phone.
Who it is for
The delivered price is material plus haulage, and the haulage moves constantly.
Priced per load, per journey time, and the return leg matters.
Bigger radius, fewer origins, tonnage bands that need to hold.
Reselling delivered material, and needing a price to quote on without ringing three suppliers.
Send us your rate sheet and your quarry list. We load it before the call, so you are looking at your own prices on your own patch rather than at a demo account. You will not be typing anything in.
