Construction software that enables you to achieve significant operational gains.
We need to make a big change with our logistics partners and the supply of materials to be just-in-time. Right now, we have big warehouses for each project where we have 2 months of inventory of all of the materials delivered to one warehouse and from that warehouse we deliver it to the actual home. So we have double cost of transportation.
If you put something on a building site and if it’s a huge plot and you put it in the wrong position, you have a carpenter walking around. “It’s not here. I’ll order some new.” And there will be waiting time; there will be production downtime and all of that.
What you have to do is to really understand the whole value chain and what the customer ultimately needs and how you can help improve that experience by working together with other people in the value chain.
When materials get delivered at a time when the construction site is not ready to receive them, they have to be moved and that causes breakage, waste and customer dissatisfaction.
Our customers tell us that on average, building materials get moved on site seven times. And each time, there is a risk of breakage or loss. But what if you could plan your deliveries in advance so your trucks arrive at the right place at the right time? Imagine the effects that would have on your business.

Every construction project is rich with data; information that flows from site to office, between external stakeholders or site teams. Delays, time to completion of certain tasks, crew overlaps – all that data can be a valuable source of information for the modern materials supplier.
When materials suppliers actively participate in a project by planning deliveries in accordance with the work schedule and contractor team roster, information flows from the project to the supplier. And the resulting insights can be used in developing a partnership with customers for the future, thereby securing the business in the long term.
