HaulierMagic gives forwarders and hauliers who sub work out one operating picture - a subcontracted job carries the same live status, documents and proof as a job on your own vehicles. Today that visibility stops at the yard gate, and the office is back to phone calls the moment a job leaves it.
Trusted by UK haulage operators
Forwarders and hauliers sub work out every day, to flex capacity, cover a lane, or match the right vehicle to the job. It is a sensible way to run.
The problem is what happens next. The moment a job leaves your fleet, it usually leaves your system too.
Status becomes a phone call. PODs arrive late. Customers ask questions you cannot answer without ringing someone else first.
The subbing is efficient. The blind spot around it is what costs you.
Sub out to keep up with demand, without losing sight of the work. You get the flexibility of subbing out without the visibility gap that usually comes with it.
Forwarders often run a TMS for their own fleet and a patchwork of calls, emails and spreadsheets for subcontractors. HaulierMagic consolidates planning, tracking, proof of delivery and invoicing into one application.
Keep what works. Drop the double entry.
Since adopting HaulierMagic in 2006, we have seen real, measurable improvements in our day to day operations and to our bottom line. Our entire fleet is fully tracked and our client facing and office-backed technology is among the most advanced in the industry.
Peter Brown Managing Director, Jack Richards & Son Yes. Subcontracted jobs are tracked alongside your own fleet, so work you have passed on stays in the same system rather than disappearing into phone calls once it leaves your yard.
HaulierMagic gives visibility of third-party subcontractors, not just job-sharing between customers of the same platform, so you can see subbed work even when it is not run by another HaulierMagic user.
Proof of delivery is captured and made visible in one system, so paperwork from subbed work comes back without the usual chasing.
The client portal shows live status for deliveries whether they are run in-house or subcontracted, so customers self-serve instead of calling you for an update you would have to chase.
Yes. Subbed jobs sit in the same system as your own, so they invoice from the same finished record instead of a separate chase. From there the invoice posts to Xero, Sage 50 or Sage 200, alongside pallet networks including Palletforce and common telematics such as Webfleet, with API access for custom integrations.
Most operators are live within two to four weeks, with migration, onboarding and training handled alongside the day. The one thing worth planning for is your subcontractors: they need setting up, and a short walk-through of how jobs reach them and how PODs come back.
A 30-minute walkthrough, tailored to your fleet, your subcontractors and your workflow. No obligation.
