Conca: a concrete calculator for quotes or orders
The fastest and easiest way to calculate the amount of concrete for your quote or order.
The challenge of getting the right amount of concrete
One of the pain points for batching plants happens when a customer orders, for example, 100 m³ of concrete for a job. That comes to 12 full trips of 96 m³ plus one additional trip of 4 m³.
The plant then schedules 3 trucks to serve that customer until noon. When noon arrives, the supplier has done its part and delivered the 100 m³. But the job site realizes it ran short of concrete and starts ordering extra loads.
The plant already had another job to serve in the afternoon with the same trucks, and now it has to choose between two options:
- 1.Send more concrete to the job that has already started and delay the other job;
- 2.Or keep the morning customer waiting until the afternoon job is finished to receive their concrete.
What to do when concrete runs short?
Both options above lead to significant customer dissatisfaction. That is exactly why Conca, by Superbase Concreto, was created.
Conca is a web app that helps you calculate the required volume of concrete and already includes a safety margin in the volume. This way, you request and receive the exact amount of concrete for your project. Just open the Conca page.
