Who is Docket?
What Do they do?
-
Scheduling & Dispatching
Managing a fleet of dumpsters can quickly become overwhelming, but with Docket, scheduling has never been easier. Their platform allows businesses to handle everything from simple drop-offs to complex exchanges and live loads—all through an intuitive interface. What truly sets Docket apart is its drag-and-drop functionality: users can simply assign jobs to drivers, who receive instant notifications of any changes.
Whether you’re running a one-truck operation or managing a fleet, Docket enables you to monitor your dumpsters and drivers in real time. The ability to add driver notes like gate codes and view customer information—such as weight tickets, overage charges, and past jobs—ensures that no detail is missed, and every job is completed to perfection.
-
Billing & Payments
One of the biggest pain points for dumpster rental businesses is billing. It’s easy to lose track of charges like overages or rental extensions, leading to lost revenue. Docket’s billing and payment tools solve this problem by automating much of the process.
At the Lone Star Dumpster Showcase, we recognize how crucial it is for businesses to get paid what they’re owed, which is why we’re so impressed with Docket’s ability to generate invoices at the same time as scheduling a job.
-
Driver Management
We know how critical it is for dumpster rental companies to keep their operations running smoothly. That’s why Docket’s Driver Management system has caught our attention. Business owners can monitor their trucks and drivers with the Docket Dumpster Software mobile app, giving them the power to manage their fleet from anywhere.
-
Business Reports
Docket provides straightforward reports that give businesses insight into their operations at all times. Whether it’s tracking Driver Performance to see how long each task takes or using Sales Performance reports to identify your most valuable customers, Docket equips you with the data you need to make informed decisions.
-
Asset Tracking
With Docket, business owners can keep track of their dumpsters on one screen. GPS integration shows the real-time location of each dumpster, how long it has been at a site, and whether it’s available for future jobs.
-
Customer Experience
The Customer Portal allows customers to sign terms and conditions, make payments, view past invoices, and request early pickups or exchanges. By giving customers more control, Docket helps businesses stand out from the competition.
-
Online Ordering
Docket’s online ordering and shopping cart integration is one of the most impressive features we’ve seen. With a simple, mobile-friendly interface, businesses can offer customers real-time booking directly from their website.
-
The #1 Tool for Brokers
Docket goes beyond the standard tools by offering specialized features for brokers. The Broker Tools streamline communication with haulers, allowing brokers to monitor job progress, manage customer relationships, and ensure seamless billing—all while protecting their relationship with the customer.
