the most flexible and usable system on the market.

detailed reports about recyclables recovered from customers’
skips all at the click of
a button. My Yard has been made for your industry inspired by people who work
in your industry. |
Orders
The system keeps track of which orders are in progress, are done or rescheduled for another day. Get
reminded about cash customers with outstanding balances or account customers past their credit limit
whilst booking orders. All paperwork – delivery notes, waste transfer notes and invoices for cash
customers are printed automatically. Add extra charges to orders for wasted journeys or extra waiting
time on site. Subcontract work. Set up a repeat schedule for a job and then these orders will continue
to be booked automatically.
Skips
Know what size skip was left last time. Know where all your skips are at the click of a button, and
the last time they were exchanged so you know which ones to chase up.
Haulage Loads
These can be multi drop itineraries or single drop.
Wheelie Bins, REL’s and FEL’s
These can be booked adhoc and set up on repeat schedules. A large percentage of the daily work will
already be organised into rounds, these however can be changed and added to as and when necessary to
allow for the carry over from a previous day or extras that need slotting in.
Delivery of Products
Manage the pipeline of orders before they are scheduled to leave a depot.
Subcontract Work to Others
Keep track of which subcontractor is doing which order and their associated charges, whether it was tipped on your account or theirs and whose skips were used.

Weights
Your Weighbridge
Keep track of all loads coming in or out of your waste transfer or recycling facilities. A single
load can be multiple grades, you can knock the load if necessary and you can account for the number of
tyres and fridges. Use this facility for all loads carried on your own transport and also for 3rd
party tipping. Use stored tare weights, one vehicle can have many tare weights to allow for the wagon
with different sizes of containers. Print weight tickets. Enter information of payments received or
made.

After Sales Care Package
We offer an annual support care package which we ask you to top up each year.
Included in the care package:
- We will ensure you don’t have any reason to worry about the security of your data, and will
take your important daily backups for you.
- Free updates for My Yard, so you’re always using the latest version of the package. These updates
will be installed remotely whilst you’re asleep so there will be no downtime for yourselves. In the
morning you’ll receive a note about all the new features.
- Whenever you need anything either ring or send us a support ticket directly from within My Yard
itself telling us how we can assist you.
Email, telephone and on site support
You will be given an allowance of credits each year. The credits used for each support request will
depend on the nature of the assistance required and the turnaround time.
For example once you’re familiar with the system if you think an alternative report to those already
provided would be of use to you and you’d like it within the next couple of weeks then you’d use
between 4 and 20 credits depending on the complexity of the report.
If you’d like us to attend site to train a new starter and give us a couple of weeks warning then
you’d use 24 credits per hour plus reasonable travel/accommodation expenses.
If you require immediate support: (these are calculated to the nearest 5 mins)
On the telephone – 24 credits per hour
Live screen support – 36 credits per hour
Database Fix – 48 credits per hour
On site support – 48 credits per hour plus reasonable travel/accommodation expenses
Credit used rounded to the nearest 5 mins.
If you do run out of credit (and we don’t envisage you will!) then credits can be topped up at any
time.

Press
Full Page Feature in April's The Skip Magazine
With its innovative approach, My Yard is designed to cut through the administrative time associated
with managing the movement of skips, wagons, and material in and out of waste transfer stations and
landfill sites. It was three years in development, created in collaboration with several waste and
scrap firms including J. Doyle Ltd in Bolton, who have now been successfully using the software for
over a year.
William Nuttall, Manager of J Doyle Limited has been impressed with the results: "My Yard has
simplified the whole job of running a fleet of HGVs, sped up our order processes and revolutionised
our report structure. As a company, we've become much more efficient, saved money and reduced
wastage."

What do we think 24 months later? William Nuttall, Manager, J. Doyle Ltd
I would recommend this package to anyone within the recycling sector.
It has enabled the whole process of order processing from the original enquiry through to the sales invoice process to be speeded up allowing more time for staff to concentrate on other job requirements.
The system has cut down on the need to produce large amounts of paperwork that were once sent to customers; instead a report for any time period can be produced and sent to the customer quickly and easily. They can now retrieve their own reports via a dashboard too.
The system produces a variety of management reports that are updated in real time so we have reports that are up to date and relevant. The information not only gives facts based on quantity and tonnages but also margins and average prices.
Overall it has made the whole job of running a fleet of HGV's, a scrap yard and a waste transfer station a lot more smoother and the jigsaw of knowing the picture of where hundreds of containers are, how often they are serviced and the profitability of each job has come together easily and with no extra cost in man time or other investments.
'Why I chose My Yard' by Neil Mackey, Kenny Waste
Management
With the demand for accurate information increasing from our client base and the need to integrate our
administration activities with our operational and financial departments, I have spent several months
assessing computer software which would enable us to deliver information in simple formats relating to
all areas of our business.
We needed a system that had been designed to deal with the modern day demands associated with the
logistics of our transportation and the operational day to day running of a dedicated Materials
Recycling Facility. We also needed something that was simple and easy to use combined with a proactive
and flexible approach from the company providing the software.
After meeting with all the companies that provide software, and waste management companies that
already use the products we opted for My Yard. It's good value for money, flexible, the detail of our
job really is in the design, it's simple to use and has extremely comprehensive features as standard.
More importantly Fifth Limb Ltd are extremely proactive in their quest to help companies such as ours
and have demonstrated a great deal of flexibility to ensure all our needs have been
met.
My Yard Testimonial from Lisa at J. Doyle Ltd
"The idea of having a piece of computer software to manage the workflow of all the orders sounded
great, but also quite scary. My first thoughts were I'm sure everything I've been told it will do will
save me time in the long run, but I presumed getting started would be a whole load of extra work on
top of my already very busy day. I was pleasantly surprised. We were guided through the entire process
and because they're so familiar with the work we do here they were always willing to answer phones so
we were given uninterrupted time to get familiar with our new system.
My usual working day has definitely changed for the better. A lot of my laborious repetitive tasks
have now gone. I don't have to retype, or write anything and all paperwork is generated automatically.
I have all the information I need about past, present and future orders at the click of a button so I
can sort out any query whilst the customer is on the phone.
Entering a new order is done in just a few clicks. Whilst giving jobs to drivers I get reminders about
any money to collect off cash customers, licenses/permits required and whether the order has specific
notes. When things change during the course of the day and I have to swop everything around, because
of a puncture, or the customer puts the wrong material in a skip or the driver can't pick the skip up
My Yard makes it easy to keep track of everything.
Everyone within the team here at J. Doyle has screens designed specifically for their job role,
transport, our buyer, the weighbridge, management and accounts. So all the information for the
business is fed into My Yard which means for once we're all sharing up to date information rather than
some of it being only in one persons head. The time saved across the team is quite surprising. My Yard
is marvelous and the after sales support from Fifth Limb has been fantastic."
