With over 36 years in the lifting industry, John Sutch Cranes has grown from one crane operated by founder John Sutch into one of the UK's established family-run crane hire businesses.
Operating across Liverpool, Manchester and beyond, the company knows that keeping cranes moving takes more than great equipment – it takes great organisation behind the scenes.
That's where Capja comes in.
Like many crane hire companies, John Sutch Cranes previously relied on multiple systems, paperwork and constant communication to keep everything running smoothly.
"Before, we had several systems which we all had to physically go into and cross-reference," explains Paul Parry, Sales Director at John Sutch Cranes.
Working alongside their existing systems, Capja has helped connect operations across both depots, improving visibility of fleet, haulage and jobs while making it easier to communicate changes to operators.
"The Capja system gives us visibility of everything all the time," adds Paul.
And the benefits go beyond planning.
For Hayley Sutch, Designate Managing Director, one of the biggest improvements has been moving away from paper-based timesheets. What previously took two or three days to collect can now be processed electronically, with information ready for payroll far more quickly.
"It just seems to be a smarter, faster way to work, and more efficient. It does save us time."
But the partnership doesn't stop there.
John Sutch Cranes and Capja are continuing to work together towards an electronic daybook, building on the improvements already made and helping shape the next generation of connected crane hire software.
It's exactly the thinking behind CapjaDesk – bringing hire desk operations, planning, contracts and information from site closer together, without unnecessary paperwork or chasing.
Real industry experience. Real operational improvements. Software developed with the people who use it.
