SlotIQ for Construction & Materials

Right materials. Right place. Right time.

On a construction site or equipment depot, timing is everything. Materials arriving too early or too late block the operation — and that costs more every time than the delivery is worth.

Construction and materials face a unique logistical challenge: deliveries are project-bound, time-critical and often dependent on external factors like crane capacity, weather conditions and shift changes. Without a coordinated system, supply quickly breaks down.

Common challenges in Construction & Materials

These problems cost time, money and employees every single day.

🏗️

Crane time as a bottleneck

Concrete mixers, steel structures and prefab elements require crane capacity for unloading. When multiple deliveries arrive simultaneously, the crane stands idle — and costs keep running.

📦

No space on the construction site

Materials arriving too early occupy the limited storage space on site. Later deliveries have nowhere to go. Work falls behind.

🔄

Project-bound complexity

Every phase of a construction project requires different deliveries at different times. Coordinating this by phone and email doesn't scale.

📞

Suppliers don't know the schedule

Material suppliers plan on their own initiative. Coordination goes via the site manager who is also out on the building site. That leads to miscommunication and delay.

Internal logistics & Lean waste

Internal chaos from uncontrolled material supply (Lean waste)

Materials arriving at the wrong time are put wherever there's space — not where they're needed. Workers move material multiple times. That costs hours, increases the risk of damage, and directly delays the build schedule.

How your dock operation changes

From manual and reactive to automated and predictable.

What SlotIQ handles for you

Built for the operational reality of Construction & Materials.

🗓

Supplier portal for construction logistics

Suppliers independently book their delivery slot via the portal. The site manager sees the complete schedule for the day or week and can prioritise.

Crane capacity built into planning

Configure dock positions based on crane capacity. The system automatically blocks overbooking of positions requiring a crane.

📍

Live site overview

See at any moment which vehicle is where on the site. Site manager and depot manager work from the same screen.

📊

Project reporting

Report on delivery times, wait times and post-delivery per project or per phase. Insight for project management and post-calculation.

Internal logistics & Lean waste reduction

Materials directly at the right location

By linking deliveries to the build schedule, material arrives exactly when and where it's needed. No temporary storage, no unnecessary moves — direct deployment at the worksite, shorter throughput times per phase.
