Questions before you start.

Which modules do I need?

Sales Manager is the foundation for customers and contracts. Resource Manager adds plant and labour scheduling and timesheets. Invoice Manager adds invoices.

Can I start with one user?

Sales Manager is free for 1 user; larger teams use fixed user-capacity bands. Optional modules have separate capacity pricing. Check the current calculator.

Does the schedule choose a suitable crane or guarantee availability? (the UK)

No. Resource Manager organises plant and labour assignments. Lift design, equipment suitability, competence, travel allowances and final availability require responsible human review outside this software workflow.

What do United Kingdom, Britain, GB and broad UK compass searches mean?

The United Kingdom, or UK, includes England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Great Britain, also called Britain or GB, includes England, Scotland and Wales and excludes Northern Ireland. North UK does not mean North England. For a north, south, east or west UK/Britain request, identify the home nation and actual site; use its relevant audience page without treating compass words as administrative boundaries.

Can this workflow look up coverage from a full postcode?

No postcode lookup or exhaustive coverage matching is provided here. The official postal geography sources explain why postcode and administrative boundaries can differ. Use the actual site address and full postcode as a starting point for the responsible person’s check.

A practical UK handover check

UK movement notifications depend on the actual route and load; ESDAL supports the external notification process. Confirm the authority for each journey segment, including the separate Northern Ireland process.

For this illustrative UK job, the useful office result is a reviewed assignment with the intended asset and labour. An available schedule line does not establish equipment suitability or crew competence. Review the proposed crane, labour, setup period and onward work with responsible people. When access changes, revisit the whole allocation instead of moving only the visible lift time. UpRate organises the commercial and operational record; responsible people settle site access, permissions and safe lifting arrangements externally.

A revised occupation window affects setup and removal as well as the lift. Review crane and labour allocations against the externally confirmed period before communicating the change.

The United Kingdom, or UK, includes England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Great Britain, also called Britain or GB, includes England, Scotland and Wales and excludes Northern Ireland.

A postcode area, a postcode district and a full unit postcode describe different levels of postal geography. Use the actual site address and full postcode when known; a broad prefix is not enough to establish the site authority or operating arrangements. Postal and administrative boundaries can differ, so check the current official geographic reference and the responsible authority rather than assuming a region name settles the job.

Your next job.
A little simpler.
