Due to the special and complex framework conditions of the ready-mixed concrete business, special requirements must be taken into account when scheduling truck mixers. The weather dependency of the construction industry leads to short-term order entries and order changes, to which the dispatching must react flexibly, within a few hours or even minutes. In addition, synchronized timing of the individual deliveries must be taken into account to ensure smooth processes on the construction site.
With OPHEO, we offer a dispatching software which fully maps the special requirements of the ready-mixed concrete industry. In addition to truck mixer dispatching, OPHEO also offers dedicated pump dispatching a telematics module, and functions for recipe management and delivery note post-processing. OPHEO also supports the delivery to new construction areas without exact address information.
