Challenge: An international building solutions provider needed a better way to deliver concrete to building sites. Avoiding delays and interruptions was essential as concrete is highly perishable with a shelf life of just 90 minutes.
Solution: To keep up with tight time frames, the company created an app using location-powered solutions from HERE Technologies, including HERE Routing and location data. The app helps customers place and track their concrete orders for over 30,000 sites across North America. Truck drivers can easily access the app on their in-cab tablets.
Results: With the location-powered app, the company has seen three times more orders through online channels. Drivers are able to easily navigate road restrictions and congestion, saving fuel and delivering concrete up to five minutes faster.
About the Solution Provider: HERE is a world-leading location data and technology platform. The company moves people, businesses and cities forward by harnessing the power of location.
