Hillhead Digital 2021

5.05.2021

Our team here at Herbst Software thoroughly enjoyed our experience exhibiting at Hillhead Digital on the 30th and 31st March 2021. This was a free, two-day digital event connecting companies involved in the quarrying, construction and recycling industries.

As we are heavily involved in the Quarry & Concrete industry across Ireland & the UK, the Hillhead show has always been a very valuable and worthwhile show for us to attend, as we can connect with likeminded companies. Hillhead Digital provided us with a variety of seminars and helped us gain invaluable insights into the key developments that are shaping the future of the industry.

It’s vital, especially during these difficult times in the midst of a pandemic, to continue networking and supporting other businesses. We gained a vast amount of knowledge and made new connections as a result of our on-going involvement in providing integrated software solutions for the Quarry & Concrete industry.

Our touchscreen driver kiosk “Herbst Hippo” was a huge hit at Hillhead. Our kiosk has been designed in conjunction with the Quarry & Concrete, Agri and Aggregate industries. How does our self service driver Kiosk work? The key here is in the name, complete self service for the driver. The weighbridge links directly with the Herbst system, meaning drivers can weigh in/out and print tickets on the spot without any intervention from the back office, the driver doesn’t even have to leave his cab.

What are some of the benefits ?

• Reduce time spent at the weighbridge
• Live information 
• Reduced paperwork & administration
• Integrated with our driver handheld for paperless POD

You can watch a video of our driver kiosk here.

We also launched the latest version of our handheld driver solution “Herbst Trucker” at Hillhead Digital. This mobile solution allows drivers to conduct vehicle checks, create routing sheets with orders and dispatch details & capture signatures via e-dockets, all in real-time.

From pickup to delivery, you can keep your team and your clients up to date with the current location of a delivery, ETA, proof of delivery and assurance that all of your vehicles are safe and properly maintained.

We’re looking forward to the next opportunity to meet new companies and show how our solutions can transform their business!
