PaperRoute team · Yeovil, UK
Why we're here
Good operators were being held back by software that never quite understood the work.
PaperRoute began with a simple frustration: collection teams were doing important, time-sensitive work while juggling paper records, disconnected systems and repeated data entry. The software around them added administration instead of removing it.
Nick and Dan set out to bring the office, drivers, compliance records and billing into one dependable workflow. Today, with Katy keeping customers supported and heard, that same idea still guides the product: understand the real working day, then make it simpler.
“Good software should remove work—not simply rearrange it.”
