The importance of real-time visibility (RTV) in the construction and building materials industry
The key trends of digitalisation and sustainability are not lost on the construction and building materials industry – in fact, they have been key drivers in transforming how the industry operates, starting with logistics processes.
Real-time visibility is a pivotal technology when it comes to achieving sustainability, digitalisation and operational goals. By providing key insights in real-time, RTV helps inform decision making and problem solving to create more efficient operations, as well as helping reduce emissions.

Key takeaways
Lack of visibility leads to unsatisfied customers
Not knowing when transports are arriving at your construction site makes it very difficult to proactively plan and schedule labour accordingly and often results in long wait times and unsatisfied customers
Sustainability becomes more prominent
RTV not only helps optimise routes but allows businesses to be transparent about their CO2 emissions by ensuring accurate tracking based on actual driven routes. Generated data can also be used to identify a baseline from which advancements in sustainability can be measured and quantified.
Managing unprecedented disruptions with RTV
Access to the right data at the right time helps businesses to proactively react to disruption. RTV data can help improve speed, accuracy, and flexibility of supply chain risk management, giving businesses all the information they need to successfully navigate disruptions, no matter how big or small.
