TruckIT

Moving asphalt, aggregates and other bulk materials from plant to job site generates a stream of paper tickets, phone calls and reconciliations. TruckIT is a technology platform that digitizes that short-haul part of heavy construction, replacing paper with electronic tickets and giving dispatchers, drivers, scale houses and back offices the same live picture.

E-ticketing and proof of delivery

AirTicket is TruckIT's automated electronic ticketing product, which runs at the scale house and keeps records, reconciliation, billing, hauling project management and material inventory in step. The version 2.0 release delivers real-time tickets and proof of delivery to every participant, whichever vendor's system they use. A customer in waste disposal described spending many hours each week keying in and reconciling paper tickets before moving to digital ones.

Dispatch, including for small fleets

The platform includes optimized dispatching that gives dispatchers the data they need to fill orders quickly. For owner operators who take calls and emails about loads while driving all day, TruckIT offers Dispatch Daisy, a virtual dispatcher that works without breaks and lets a small operator decide quickly whether to take extra work for the day.

Fleet, material and payment tools

The current site lists several connected functions:

• fleet management and visibility over trucks and projects
• material management, covering monitoring, yield, pacing, orders and delivery
• payments, linking digital tickets to invoicing and payment through its own platform, accounting software or payroll
• business intelligence and reporting for key measures and anomalies
• mobile apps for iOS and Android, with views tailored to the driver or the back-office role

One network, open integration

Attune is described as an e-ticket and dispatch network that lets participants work with all others in an area, whichever platform each uses, rather than forcing drivers to carry several apps. The platform is built around an open API, so a customer can use one component, feed its own data warehouse in real time, or adopt the whole system. It connects to scale houses, accounting systems, ERPs and IoT devices.

Who uses it

Contractors, haulers, material producers and intake facilities in heavy highway and civil work use it, including asphalt producers and large haulers.
