Ontegra Drum Fleet Management Platform:

Revolutionizing Ready-Mix Logistics Through Custom Software Development

Solving Logistics Challenges in Construction

In the fast-paced world of construction logistics, delays and inefficiencies in ready-mix concrete delivery can ripple into costly project setbacks. Ontegra partnered with a leading Canadian transportation company to tackle these challenges head-on, crafting a cloud-based IoT solution that redefines fleet management.

Smarter Fleet Management with Real-Time Insight

The Drum Fleet Management Platform merges real-time tracking, seamless communication, and actionable analytics to optimize operations, enhance safety, and reduce environmental impact, proving that smarter logistics drive success.

The Challenge

Bridging Gaps in Ready-Mix Delivery

Blind Spots in Delivery Tracking

Customers lacked real-time visibility into delivery statuses, leading to missed deadlines and project delays.

Manual Coordination Chaos

Dispatchers and drivers relied on fragmented communication, causing inefficiencies in order scheduling and confirmations.

Driver Distraction Risks

Existing tools compromised safety by requiring manual updates while driving.

Environmental and Cost Pressures

Idling trucks and fuel inefficiencies inflated costs and carbon footprints.

Concrete Quality Risks

Delays in delivery risked the concrete drying or setting prematurely, leading to wasted materials and costly rework.

Without a unified system, the client risked losing customer trust and competitive edge.

The Solution

A Cloud-Powered Command Center

Ontegra’s Drum Fleet Management Platform is a multi-tenant, IoT-driven solution designed to transform fleet operations. Built on a secure private cloud and optimized for Android tablets, it delivers:

Real-Time Visibility with Precision

With our Google Maps Integration, you can track every vehicle’s location, route, and estimated arrival time with live updates. Drivers can receive orders, update statuses, and communicate hands-free via Android-optimized interfaces.

Seamless Communication

Our Dispatcher-Driver Sync protocol ensures instant alerts for order changes, delivery confirmations, and route adjustments. Clients can also monitor delivery progress in real-time through a dedicated Customer Portal, reducing follow-up calls and delays.

Safety-First Design

Voice commands and automated status updates minimize driver interaction with devices to facilitate a distraction-free workflow. With the help of Proactive Alerts, you can also notify drivers of traffic, weather, or site hazards to reroute dynamically without wasting time or money.

Sustainability at Scale

Our Fuel Efficiency analytics identify idling hotspots and optimize routes to cut fuel consumption by up to 20%. You can also access exclusive Carbon Footprint Reports to track emissions and set reduction targets with data-driven insights.

Cost Efficiency

Real-time route adjustments reduce fuel costs and minimize wear and tear on vehicles while our precise delivery timelines ensure that ready-mix concrete arrives before it begins to set. This helps you with costly rework and material waste, leveraging our automated workflows and centralized data to reduce manual labor and administrative overhead.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Our Private Cloud Deployment ensures data protection, scalability, and compliance with industry regulations. We also offer Role-Based Access, making it easier to restrict sensitive data to authorized personnel only.

Better Time Management

We offer optimized routing through real-time route adjustments that reduce fuel costs and minimize wear and tear on vehicles. The more precise delivery timelines ensure that ready-mix concrete arrives before it begins to set, eliminating costly rework and material waste as well as manual labor and administrative overhead.

Advanced Sensor Integration

Our systems include a high-tech Water Sensor that monitors the time until concrete needs to be poured, ensuring optimal delivery timelines and preventing premature setting.

How it Works

From Order to Delivery

Order Dispatch

Dispatchers assign orders via the cloud platform, syncing instantly to drivers’ in-vehicle tablets.

Customers receive automated SMS/email alerts with tracking links.

Live Tracking & Adjustments

Google Maps provides real-time location data, while the water sensor monitors concrete conditions.

Dispatchers reroute trucks dynamically based on traffic, weather, or last-minute site changes.

Delivery Confirmation

Drivers log arrivals via tablet, triggering automated customer invoices and delivery certificates.

Clients rate services in-app, feeding into performance analytics.

Post-Delivery Insights

Generate reports on fuel usage, idle time, delivery accuracy, and sensor data to refine future operations.
