SkipM8

Get this week's answers without pulling figures together

Month-end shouldn't mean a day of chasing numbers. SkipM8 reports straight from the bookings, jobs, invoices and waste records your team already keeps, so there's nothing to compile.

Reports are grouped into finance, operations and compliance. Pick a date range, filter to what you need and export most reports to a spreadsheet.

The dashboard keeps the day's figures in front of you, including today's jobs, what's been billed and where your DEFRA records stand.

Keep your waste records ready for DEFRA

See the tonnes of waste collected by waste type over any period, with a warning where loads are missing weights, so gaps get filled.

Since October 2026, permitted waste sites in England, Wales and Northern Ireland must record each receipt of waste on DEFRA's Digital Waste Tracking Service. The DEFRA submissions report lists every receipt you've sent, with the tracking ID DEFRA gave it, and shows which were corrected and sent again.
