Weighbridge and truck scale systems
Xcalibur connects to the weighbridge or truck scale already on site and reads weights as the vehicle goes over the plate, so the operator is not typing tare and gross into the ticket. A digital docket, a weighbridge ticket or scale ticket, is raised against the order at the same moment. If the hardware link is down, a weight can still be typed in; Xcalibur marks that entry as manually entered so you can see how the weight was obtained. More on weighbridge ticketing.
Batching plant systems
Mix instructions go out to the plant over industry-standard batching links, so the recipe is not typed in a second time at the panel. Xcalibur can build and manage concrete mix designs. Machine-learning calculations are refined as more batches are produced. More on concrete dispatch.
Accounts and ERP
Xcalibur integrates with Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, Sage, Xero and more. Dispatches are consolidated into invoices and sent by print, email or EDI with no manual re-keying, and the finance link supports real-time credit control and consolidated invoicing. Xcalibur does not replace your accounts system; it passes a clean dispatch record into it.
EDI and document distribution
Invoices and documents can be distributed by print, email or EDI, using standard EDI formats, so customers and accounts teams receive the same record that was created at the weighbridge. There is no re-keying between the docket and the invoice run.
GPS and mapping
Live distance calculations from mapping APIs feed delivered prices, so quotes reflect the real route rather than a rough zone estimate. Route optimisation also takes account of vehicle type, because heavy vehicles cannot use every road a car can. The same mapping data supports dispatch and reporting across sites.
Customer portals and driver apps
Your customers can log in to place orders, follow a load on its way, and pull their own invoices and account history, which cuts the calls to the plant. Drivers use the Xcalibur app on phones and tablets (iOS and Android) for live job updates, digital dockets, and to record water added, returned concrete, signatures, photos and proof of delivery. The same driver interface can be connected to third-party driver management platforms where you already use them.
Open API
An open API covers custom integrations when you need to connect a system that is not in the standard set.
Become an integration partner
Xcalibur works with integration partners that supply finance and accounts systems, weighbridge and truck scale equipment, concrete batching equipment, driver-operated dispatching hardware, vehicle telematics, and similar products. Partners have their products promoted to Xcalibur's customer base. If you build hardware or software that should connect to Xcalibur, contact us about becoming an integration partner.
White labelling
Xcalibur offers a custom-negotiated white-labelling package that lets a customer or supplier brand the system as their own, including changing the user interface. That can include white-label dispatch software and white-label weighbridge software, presented under your brand rather than Xcalibur's. Each package is tailored and agreed individually; there is no standard set of inclusions. Contact us to talk about a package for your operation.
Frequently asked questions
Does Xcalibur replace our finance or ERP system?
No. Xcalibur is dispatch software that connects to the accounts system you already use. Invoices and credit-control data pass to Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, Sage, Xero and more, and an open API covers custom integrations. Your finance system remains the ledger.
Can Xcalibur send invoices and documents by EDI?
Yes. Dispatches are consolidated into invoices and distributed by print, email or standard EDI formats, with no manual re-keying between the docket and the invoice run.
What else can Xcalibur connect to, besides accounts systems?
Xcalibur integrates directly with weighbridge and truck scale hardware, connects to batching plants through industry-standard batching links, uses mapping APIs for live distance calculations and route optimisation by vehicle type, and includes a customer portal and a driver app that can also connect to third-party driver management platforms. An open API covers custom integrations.
Can we become an Xcalibur integration partner?
Yes. Integration partners include finance and accounts systems, weighbridge and truck scale equipment, concrete batching equipment, driver-operated dispatching hardware, and vehicle telematics, among others. Partners have their products promoted to Xcalibur's customer base. Contact sales to talk about becoming an integration partner.
Contact SalesCan we white-label Xcalibur as our own dispatch or weighbridge software?
Yes. Customers and suppliers can brand Xcalibur as their own, including a changed user interface. White-labelling is negotiated as a tailored package and agreed individually, rather than sold as a fixed product. Contact sales to talk about a package for your operation.
