For trade plate and vehicle movement companies

Every vehicle move, planned, proven and paid

PlateRun runs the whole job: price it and plan it in the office, send it to your driver's phone, and get the photos, damage, mileage and signatures back the moment the vehicle changes hands.

Sound familiar?

Still running moves on WhatsApp, spreadsheets and paper check sheets?

It works until a customer disputes a scratch, a driver can't be reached, or Friday's pay takes all afternoon.

"Where's that car got to?"

Phoning drivers for updates while customers phone you. Nobody knows what's collected, what's on the road and what's late.

Every job's progress, live, on one screen

"That damage wasn't there"

A blurry photo in someone's camera roll and a signature on a sheet that's gone missing. It's your word against theirs.

Timed photos, marked damage and signatures

"What do we owe the drivers?"

Adding up jobs and fuel receipts from texts and photos, then writing it all out again for each driver.

How it works

From booking to payslip in four steps

The office works in the browser. Drivers work in the app. Everyone sees the same job.

Add the job

Vehicle, addresses and dates. PlateRun can work out the mileage and price it from your rates.

Plan the day

Drag jobs onto drivers, set carry overs, then email each driver their day in one click.

Drivers do the job

The app takes them through the checks, photos and signatures at collection and delivery, signal or not.

Get paid, pay drivers

Track unpaid jobs, then pay drivers per job with their expenses and email their payslips.

Planning

Plan tomorrow in minutes, not an evening

See every job waiting for a driver beside each driver's day, and drag them where they need to go.

  • Each driver's day starts from home, or from the car they kept overnight
  • Carry overs, relays between drivers and same-day moves handled properly
  • See who's off before you plan, with holidays and part days
  • Email every driver their jobs for the day in one click, and again if it changes
Planning tomorrow: four drivers each with a job, and two jobs still to plan.
Driver app

A driver app that does the paperwork

Drivers are taken through each job step by step, so nothing gets missed and everything is recorded the same way.

  • Appraisal: documents, tyres and tread depths, load area, all with photos
  • Damage marked on a diagram of the vehicle, with a photo of each mark
  • Odometer photos at collection and delivery
  • The customer signs on the phone, and where it was signed is recorded
  • Keeps working with no signal and sends everything when it's back

Proof

Proof of every handover, in one place

Every collection and delivery builds a complete record you can show a customer the moment there's a question.

  • Live progress from allocated to collected, delivered and completed
  • Mileage at both ends, checked against the miles you quoted
  • Signatures with a map of where they were signed
  • Look up any registration for the vehicle's full history with you
A completed job: progress, odometer photos, signatures and where each was signed.
Driver pay

Pay drivers without the spreadsheet

Everything a driver delivered and hasn't been paid for, with the expenses they paid themselves, ready to pay.

  • A pay rate per driver, or a different amount for one job
  • Cash fuel, tolls and train fares they record in the app are added to their pay, each with a photo of the receipt
  • PDF payslips emailed to every driver, plus a spreadsheet for your accountant
  • A payroll login for your bookkeeper that sees nothing else
Payroll: each driver’s delivered jobs with pay, expenses and totals.
Everything else you need

Built around how vehicle movement actually works

Quotes from the mileage

Set a flat rate and a price per mile once. Driving distances come from Google, with 100 free lookups a month.

Relays and split jobs

Split a long move between drivers at a handover point. Each stage has its own driver, mileage and price.

Carry overs

Let a driver keep a vehicle overnight, and check how many extra miles going via their home adds.

Late jobs flagged

Jobs not delivered within your target days stand out, so you can act before the customer chases.

The right access for everyone

Owner, admins, controllers, payroll and drivers each see and do only what they should.

Unpaid jobs tracked

Completed jobs wait in Unpaid until you mark them paid, then move to the archive.

Questions

Good to know

How do I try it?

Register your company and you'll get 200 free tokens straight away, with no card. That's enough to add a few drivers and run your first jobs end to end.

What phones does the driver app run on?

Android 7 and newer. Your drivers sign in with their callsign, your company code and a password. The office uses PlateRun in any web browser.

What happens when a driver has no signal?

They carry on. The app keeps the job on the phone, saves what they record, and sends it all when there's a connection again.

Is there a contract or monthly fee?

No. You buy tokens when you need them and they don't expire. Creating a job costs 10 tokens and adding someone to your team costs 20. Planning, allocating and everything drivers do is free.

Can I move my existing work over?

The simplest way is to start adding new jobs in PlateRun from a set day. Set up your drivers and common sites first and you can be planning the same day. Get in touch if you'd like a hand.
