Innovative solution for the concrete industry
Multifunctional software for data entry, monitoring, and data analysis on construction projects related to the production, transport and installation of fresh concrete.
Summary
CQC System is developed based on 20 years-long experience in the field of Concrete production and delivery with a team of experts in cutting edge mobile and web technology. Our unique software automates and records all activities of participants in the process of production and installation of concrete. In this way, it can provide all the necessary information to those who is involved in the process. CQC Software solves business challenges where all project participants communicate together. The users of the application are all participants in the project with access to interfaces for their business.
Customization
According to the specified needs in the document CQC Functionalities, we provide a cost estimate related to development and needed *Customization . This shall be further discussed and confirmed at the time of making a cooperation agreement.
Before any programming is started we provide all the interfaces design with the supporting processes for final confirmation. Upon confirmation, we begin preparing the development specification for programming. This specification enables us to define a precise timeline and man-days to complete work. Software customization includes the following work on our part :
- Preparing Business requirements specifications
- Preparing Development Specification
- Programming
- Consulting on the best business solutions
- Project Management.
Implementation
CQC Implementation includes following activities:
Organization and Project Setup – CQC Web Application Setup begins with creating an organization. Your Company needs to appoint a person internally who will be in charge of managing users, adding resources, and generally making changes. Creating a project is based on approved construction projects which are typically larger .
Resources and Users Setup – Your Company has its resources, facilities ,machinery and people , which are entered manually or provided to the Web application. Initially we provide support with users onboarding and follow through to make sure everybody gets started.
Tutorials and User Instructions – Each type of user receives a 1 -2 page document with instructions how to use interfaces available within their scope of work. The materials shall be distributed or presented as agreed with your company.
Integration
CQC software is open for integration with 3rd party solution providers. CQC platform provides open APIs for basic functionality and necessary data exchange. All proprietary processes from 3rd party software which are not by default open to exchange data based on today’s standard will require additional integration processes.
Particle integration starts with your company and us identifying data flow needs. After this, we are able to provide specifications for integration to 3rd party providers. Another option is to take over complete integration, which brings better quality and shortens time to lunch.

Additional services
QR CODE FOR CUBES
The need for Concrete Quality is the number one concern. Cube sampling and testing leaves room for manipulation unless each cube has its own ID. QR code is unique and it prevents misuse or cube Replacement.
Each cube is marked with a QR code connected to the set of delivery notes or specific delivery notes. By scanning the QR code, CQC mobile app shows which delivery note it belongs to. When cube testing is done, results can be uploaded and attached to the exact concrete delivery.
Activation Requires:
1. Implementing a new practice in your organization
2. Developing a module with interfaces for new QR CODe pull and registration..
BUSINESS CHALLENGES
Production, distribution, and installation of fresh concrete is limited because the concrete hardens over time. It is necessary to synchronize several resources and processes where each outage leads to direct and indirect damage. Delays in transport of fresh concrete and problems in installation of concrete on the construction site are regular events that often stay unnoticed at the moment when it is important to react.
Whose fault is it? No evidence to show. What is the damage of pouring concrete in the wrong segment? What is the cost of reputation? Problems with concrete quality and fixing what was done wrong cause serious financial damage.
Ordering concrete is usually done by phone and recording data is done on paper, where human error factor is very high. Analysis of manually entered data is very slow and difficult. If you use program not customized to your needs, in foreign language, and do not cover simple but necessary processes. As a result, a lot of actions and resources remain unattended. Huge amount of time is spent on phone calls where communication is slow and unreliable. In addition to stressful communication, that time is the most precious resource that has been irretrievably lost.
- Imagine now that it is possible to organize and record all communication and events among project participants transparently.
- Imagine an application that enables automatic updates on the order and each delivery note status.
- Imagine having real field data from ordering, production, and concrete installation in real time.
- The application is easy to use, saves time and money by allowing you to focus on quality as well as optimise resources.
CQC includes 5 different user roles which represent different participants in the construction project:
❏ Project Manager on building site
❏ Concrete plant – Concrete production operator
❏ Driver
❏ Laboratory technician who performs product control
❏ Supervision Engineer / Investor
Sensors
There is a challenge to know the exact time when the Concrete pour starts and finishes. Sensors are there to signal the event in real time . However, the sensor alone will not do much if it’s not connected to any communication system. Simply, the event is not recorded anywhere for the delegated person to see.
Implementation : Sensors are of great use if connected to the communication system. The CQC software is open for integrating other devices as long as they have the ability to share information ( API ) In case you wish to include sensor notification, we shall discuss which type of sensors are suitable for implementation.
Story
The production of fresh concrete is a very delicate job with high risks that are overcome by good organization and monitoring of project activities.
No matter how much the concrete industry progresses, we are still semi-automated in the way we work. Symbolic description – we press the button, the bag falls on our back, and we carry it to the destination.
In the end, a building or a road is finished, but many issues stay hidden. The details are the ones that need the most attention because when a lot of small omissions are added up, we are talking about serious financial and business damage.
CQC ADVANTAGES
Availability overview and optimal activation of human resources, mixers and pumps. A way of working that saves time with each delivery.
You have your own database from the field at every step of each delivery. You collect insights for future projects through detailed project monitoring.
Easy interaction and communication through simple and intuitive interfaces. Tracking order progress with minimal need to make phone calls.
Available in different languages according to your needs.
Project analysis are based on data, quantitative and qualitative parameters, for each project. Reports also present areas for improvement with alerts for problematic areas.
Modernization of the communication system raises efficiency and quality. Recording data properly helps anticipate unforeseen costs.
Implementation of new quality standards differentiates you from the competition. Quality and transparency attracts event the most demanding supervisors and investors. Transparency can also reduce insurance premiums.
