Haulage
Every concrete mixer truck that goes out and every cement or aggregate lorry that comes in has a cost. Gesthorm manages concrete delivery and raw material haulage: vehicles, drivers, hauliers, rates and a forecast of the invoices you're going to receive.
Transport weighs on two fronts. On the way in, because cement, aggregates and admixtures arrive in lorries that also cost money, and that cost is part of the real price of each mix design. On the way out, because every concrete truck that goes to site is carried by one of your own vehicles or by a contracted haulier.
If hauliers' invoices are checked by eye, it's hard to know whether what they charge matches the trips that were made. And if raw material haulage isn't allocated to each purchase, the cost per cubic metre comes out lower than it really is.
Gesthorm works out the future invoices that concrete hauliers, raw material hauliers and raw material suppliers should send you. When the real invoice arrives, you compare it with the forecast.
In addition, each incoming raw material delivery note stores the haulage cost based on the haulier that made the trip. That cost feeds into the cost per cubic metre of each mix design, which updates itself.
This is how transport fits with everything else:
Vehicles, drivers and hauliers, which reach the plant on their own.
The delivery note goes out with its vehicle and driver.
The invoice each haulier should send you.
The invoice you receive against the forecast, before you approve it.
If you want to measure how long the mixer truck sits idle on site and how to agree it with the customer, the blog explains how: Mixer truck waiting times on site: how to control them (in Spanish).
And if you also have to issue the transport control document, the supply delivery note can be issued as a DeCA: DeCA for concrete plants, also by Infonet, is integrated with Gesthorm. You invoice your customers with the invoicing wizards.
