www.truckandtrack.com Autumn 2025 Truck and Track 7 BUSINESS NEWS HaulTech helps JHP Transport shift gears with digital transformation Founded in 2007, JHP Transport has grown from a small office in Lanarkshire into one of Scotland’s largest and most respected logistics providers. With a fleet covering the UK and parts of Europe, the company specialises in aggregate and muckaway haulage, temperature-controlled distribution, heavy haulage, and bespoke logistics solutions. Their commitment to customer service, innovation, and operational excellence has earned them long-term partnerships and industry recognition. Despite their success, JHP Transport’s growth meant that they started to face some all-too familiar challenges with manual job tickets, fragmented communication, and time-consuming admin, as they became an ever-increasing bottleneck. “I couldn’t imagine working without a system, working with paper would just be chaos.” said Fiona, a company spokesperson for JHP Transport, in HaulTech’s recent video. That sentiment reflects a growing trend in the haulage industry, where digital transformation is no longer optional, it’s becoming increasingly essential. The decision to implement HaulTech’s Transport Management System marked a turning point. The platform centralises job management, driver communication, and customer updates, allowing JHP Transport to streamline operations and improve service delivery. Drivers now receive job details directly to their mobile devices, eliminating paperwork and reducing the risk of errors. This has led to faster turnaround times and more accurate deliveries. In the office, the impact has been equally significant. Automated invoicing, real-time job tracking, and digital proof of delivery have reduced administrative workload and improved visibility across the business. This level of insight is crucial in an industry where efficiency, responsiveness and reliability are key. The benefits of adopting a TMS extend beyond operational gains. Staff have embraced the system, appreciating the clarity and convenience of digital workflows. Customers benefit from better communication and more reliable service. The shift has helped the business become more agile and better prepared to meet the demands of modern logistics. Across the haulage sector, companies are recognising the value of digital systems. Rising fuel costs, tighter regulations, and increasing customer expectations are driving the need for smarter, more agile operations. A TMS helps businesses reduce waste, improve compliance, and deliver consistent service, all while helping to keep costs down and improve efficiency. HaulTech’s system is designed specifically for hauliers. It’s scalable, user-friendly, and backed by a support team that understands the industry. Whether a company runs five vehicles or one hundred and five, the platform can meet their needs. This has made HaulTech’s TMS a trusted solution for operators looking to future-proof their businesses. For JHP Transport, the move to HaulTech’s TMS has been more than a technical upgrade. It has transformed the way the business operates, strengthened customer relationships, and positioned the company for continued growth. By combining decades of experience with modern tools, JHP Transport is setting a new standard for efficient, customer-focused logistics. As the industry continues to evolve, companies like JHP Transport are leading the way. With a clear vision, a commitment to innovation, and the right technology in place, they are well equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow. www.haultech.co.uk
