The goal: To build a platform that allows the ordering and end-to-end tracking of the delivery of concrete, thus strengthening trust between dispatchers and customers by providing full transparency and increased communication. Instead of relying on paper and several legacy systems, the capabilities of mobile devices are leveraged, and existing processes are improved.
The process: Adnovum has been supporting ConcreteDirect nearly since the inception of the idea and is responsible for the conception, design, development, testing, deployment and production support of the platform. Ideas are often validated in the field and refined in multiple iterations. By integrating with the batch and scheduling systems, Adnovum builds new capabilities on top of them, such as live truck tracking or in-app ordering. Thanks to various feedback and reporting tools, users’ improvement ideas and reports are directly considered by the ConcreteDirect team and allow it to maintain a high degree of satisfaction.
The result: A cloud-native platform built on top of state-of-the-art technologies.
