From Paper Complications To Efficient Operations

Dumpster Dudez is a prominent franchise operating across 11 states. We sat down with Joan Kelly, the dedicated Operations Manager of the Berks County branch in Pennsylvania. Joan takes charge of a diverse array of responsibilities on a daily basis, ranging from overseeing sales and invoicing to actively engaging in community outreach and managing the franchise’s social media presence.

Challenges Before Docket

Imagine a desk cluttered with stacks of papers and order forms, sound familiar? This was the daily scene for Joan and her team at Dumpster Dudez. For every customer order, details were jotted down manually. The process for invoicing through Quickbooks was not only time-consuming but also had its share of errors.

According to Joan, “If you had changes, you were constantly chasing the same colored piece of paper to deal with it.” Handling so many tasks with outdated methods was a big challenge, and it became evident that a more efficient solution was urgently needed.

Dumpster Operations: Before and After Docket

Before Docket: Manual and Time-Intensive

  • Dumpster Dudez operated with a mainly manual system.
  • Orders, both large and small, were initiated using a paper system.
  • Payment processes were restrictive. Joan’s team manually took credit card details over phone calls, which limited payment flexibility for clients.
  • Because they didn’t have an all-in-one software, they had to mix paper and quickbooks, which made their operations more complex.
  • Communication with drivers was inefficient, making timely updates challenging.

After Docket: Efficient and Flexible

Enter Docket—a tool that significantly changed the landscape of Dumpster Dudez’ operations. With Docket, invoicing became a breeze. Immediate billing was now possible through direct email communication, cutting down on delays.

For the drivers, Docket brings a whole new level of flexibility.

Scheduling improved and communication between the main office and the drivers is now easy and efficient. One standout feature is the GPS functionality. Now, Dumpster Dudez could benefit from accurate tracking, ensuring timely deliveries and pickups.

Since Docket is user-friendly, it made the transition smoother than expected. Most importantly, in times of challenges, like during natural disasters, Docket stood out, offering a reliable system to navigate through tough times. And Joan said that “Docket’s support team is always ready to help,” making the entire experience smooth.
