Smarter Waste Management Starts Here:

At Spelthorne Direct Services (SDS) we’ve invested in the PurGo software system from VWS because it helps us run a cleaner, smarter and more reliable commercial waste collection service for our customers.
What is PurGo?
PurGo is a modern waste management platform built specifically for trade and commercial waste operators. It links our office, collection vehicles, weighing systems and customer records into one connected system, so we can manage your service from first enquiry right through to invoicing.
The tools we use every day
PurGo gives our team a range of practical features that make a real difference on the ground:
• Smart route planning to build efficient rounds, cut unnecessary mileage and reduce our carbon footprint.
• A driver app with SatNav, live updates, photo and signature capture so crews and office staff are always working from the same information.
• Integration with our on‑board bin‑weighing, so every lift and weight is recorded automatically against the right customer.
• Links into our accounts and CRM systems to streamline quotes, contracts, invoicing and payment.
• Digital Duty of Care and hazardous waste paperwork to cut out manual forms and filing.
• Clear reporting on weights, recycling rates, missed collections, excess charges and round performance.
What this means for your business
Because PurGo brings all this data together, it allows us to deliver a more reliable and transparent service to you:
• Fewer missed or late collections, because we can see routes, vehicles and any issues in real time.
• Faster answers to queries, using time‑stamped photos, vehicle locations and weight records to see exactly what happened.
• Fair, accurate charging – including pay‑by‑weight options where suitable – so you’re only paying for the waste you produce.
• Better recycling performance, as we can spot trends in your waste and work with you to improve segregation and reduce residual volumes.
Why we chose PurGo at SDS
We wanted a system that could grow with us and match the way we actually run our business. PurGo stood out because it’s been designed by people who understand commercial waste collections and the challenges operators and customers face.
By linking our vehicle weighing, routing, customer service and accounts into one platform, we can:
• Identify overweight bins and help you choose the right container sizes and collection frequency.
• Spot loss‑making or inefficient services and fix them before they affect service quality.
• Reduce paperwork and manual data entry, freeing our team to focus on delivering reliable collections and helpful support.
