PurGo

What is PurGo?

PurGo is a modular ERP and waste management software platform developed specifically for waste management, recycling, skip hire, trade waste, waste brokerage and related transport operations. The system connects commercial, operational and financial processes in one environment so that office teams, drivers, customer service staff, transport planners, weighbridge operators and managers can work with the same up-to-date information.

PurGo is designed to support the full workflow from initial enquiry and quotation through order scheduling, collection, weighing, documentation, billing and reporting. Live data from field operations can be returned to the back office in real time, helping teams respond quickly to missed collections, access issues, vehicle defects and other exceptions. The platform can also integrate with existing business systems, accounting solutions, weighing technology and external reporting tools, reducing duplicate data entry and supporting consistent processes across departments.

Connected operations from collection to invoice

PurGo helps remove information gaps between field teams and the back office. Drivers can receive job information, navigate to sites, record job activity, capture signatures and images, and report issues directly from the mobile application. Transport and customer service teams gain live visibility of job status and vehicle activity, while finance teams can use operational data for accurate invoicing, including weight-based charging where required.

The platform also supports CRM and sales processes, including enquiries, prospects, quotations and contact management. Customer-facing web access can reduce routine service queries by allowing clients to retrieve documents and review service information themselves. Automated notifications can keep customers informed about planned services, delays or other status changes.

Reporting, compliance and integration

PurGo provides live dashboards, scheduled reports and ad hoc analysis for operational performance, route activity, profitability, service quality and exceptions. Power BI integration extends analytical capabilities for organisations that require deeper visualisation and business intelligence. Digital Duty of Care records, hazardous waste documentation and secure document storage help support audit readiness and regulatory processes.

PurGo is available as a cloud-based solution, with an on-premise option for organisations that prefer to use their own server infrastructure. Its flexible architecture, role-based access controls and integration options make it suitable for both growing operators and larger multi-department organisations.
