The transformation

Running ready-mix — before and after

The old way

Idle time disputed — driver says he waited 90 minutes, site says 30, no timestamp to prove it

Water added without proper sign-off — nobody knows how much, who authorised it, or when

Pour issue later — no record of site conditions, access problems or what actually happened

Paper batch records — incomplete, filled in after the fact, useless in a dispute

Waiting time charges challenged because there is no defensible evidence

No GPS record of which site the truck actually visited or when it arrived

The Tipper360 way

GPS arrival timestamp locked automatically — exact site location and time, tamper-proof

Water additions logged with exact litres and an authorised digital signature — every time

Geo-tagged photos capture site conditions, access issues and pour evidence on the job record

Idle time from arrival to pour start is calculated automatically from GPS timestamps

Waiting time proof pack ready to send the same day — defensible, contract-aligned

Every change to every job logged, attributed and permanent — nothing altered after the fact

Exactly what is recorded

What Tipper360 captures on every ready-mix load

Accurate claims only — here is precisely what is recorded and what it proves.

At plant / dispatch

GPS departure timestamp

Exact location and time the truck left the plant — auto-captured. The journey record starts here.

On site — arrival

GPS arrival timestamp

Exact site coordinates and arrival time locked automatically. This is the start of your idle time record.

On site — waiting

Idle time duration

Time from GPS arrival to pour start is calculated automatically from the timestamp record. Defensible, contract-aligned, no manual entry.

On site — water addition

Litres + authorised signature

Driver records exact litres of water added. The authorising person on site signs on screen. Name, time and GPS location all attached to the record.

On site — during / after pour

Geo-tagged photos

Driver photographs site conditions, access issues, the pour in progress, or anything that needs documenting. Each photo carries GPS location and timestamp.

On completion

Full batch record + ePOD

All timestamps, water records, signatures and photos compiled into a single proof pack. Shareable with the client, archived permanently.

Immutable audit trail — every change logged permanently

Every modification to any job — idle time, water additions, photos — is time-stamped, attributed and permanently recorded. In a dispute about what happened on site, you have an unalterable record. Nobody can claim records were changed after the fact.

The liability protection feature

Unauthorised water — the silent liability on every ready-mix site

Water added to a mix on site without proper authorisation is one of the most common causes of concrete failure disputes. When something goes wrong three months later, the question is always the same: who added water, how much, and who signed off?

With Tipper360, the driver records the litres on screen and the site authorised person signs digitally before the truck leaves. The record is locked to that moment — GPS location, time, exact litres, named signatory. You are protected. They cannot claim it did not happen.

Exact litres recorded — driver input on screen, not a paper note

Authorised digital signature — site person signs on the driver's device

GPS location + time locked to the signature — cannot be backdated

Part of the batch proof pack — shareable, archived, permanent

Questions about ready-mix and Tipper360

Can I use idle time records to charge for waiting time?

Yes. Tipper360 records GPS arrival timestamp and pour start time automatically — the idle duration is calculated from those two locked timestamps. This gives you a defensible record aligned to your contract terms for waiting charges. The record cannot be altered after the fact.

How is the water addition signed off?

The driver records exact litres on screen and the authorising site person signs digitally on the driver's device. The record includes their name, the litres, the time and the GPS location — all locked at the moment of sign-off.

What if there is a pour quality dispute months later?

The full batch record is archived permanently — GPS arrival, idle time, water additions with signature, geo-tagged site photos and the ePOD. Everything that happened on site that day is in the record with timestamps. That is your defence.

Does Tipper360 verify the mix specification or concrete strength?

No — Tipper360 records the operational facts: arrival time, idle time, water additions with sign-off, photos and ePOD. It does not independently test or certify concrete mix quality.

Does it work offline on remote sites?

Fully offline. Drivers capture GPS timestamps, water additions, signatures and photos with no signal. Everything syncs when they get coverage. Not a single record lost.

How quickly can we go live?

Most operators are live within 48 hours. Drivers download the app, despatch logs into the dashboard. No hardware, no IT project.

Ready to protect your margins on every pour?

Idle time proved. Water signed off. Every batch on record.
