Customer story · Stanley Asphalt

From a whiteboard in the office to one live system.

How a road surfacing and civil engineering company replaced a dozen phone calls a day with one system the whole team runs on, in the office and on the phone.

The Stanley Asphalt yard from the air: the depot, its yellow tippers and the motorway beyond.

The business

Stanley Asphalt specialises in road surfacing and civil engineering. The company has been trading for eleven years, and the Stanley family has been in the trade for generations. It runs a large fleet of heavy vehicles and machines across sites that change every day.

The Stanley Asphalt depot, its sign over the open bays where the machines are kept.

The problem

All of that fleet and all of that work was planned on a whiteboard in the office. Every time something changed, director Neil Stanley and his contracts manager Mark would ring each other to keep up. A dozen calls a day, just to stay in sync.

What we built

One system that now runs scheduling, assets, the workshop and the office.

  • Scheduling: the team can see which machines go to which jobs, and with whom.
  • Fleet and workshop: every repair and service is logged, so the fleet is always known to be road ready.
  • Compliance: CVRT, tax, insurance and fuel cards are tracked and flagged automatically.
  • Office: quotations, invoices and staff rosters all live in the same place.
  • Everywhere: it works on the phone as well as in the office.

The result

Changes happen live, on the phone, instead of over a dozen calls. Nothing slips through the cracks.

On running the business

“Everything is on the one system now. Our workshop records, our scheduling and staff rosters, quotations and invoices. Nothing kind of slips through the cracks.”
Neil Stanley

On AI

“For me, who had zero knowledge of AI, I was a little bit wary of this coming on board, but it has been a game changer for us.”

On working with Dubsof

“The team at Dubsof came together very efficiently, put it together very quickly, built it to our needs. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.”
