The concrete industry relies on precise coordination between ordering, batching, and fleet management. Yet, many suppliers still face manual processes, disconnected systems, and inefficiencies that slow down operations. Integrated Concrete Systems (ICS) is helping concrete businesses overcome these challenges by providing seamless integrations—connecting the tools and software they already use to create a unified, efficient system.
Two leading suppliers, Eureka Concrete and Frankston Sand and Soil, recently partnered with ICS to modernise their operations—each with different challenges and unique integration needs.
Case Study: Eureka Concrete – Simplifying Online Ordering Across Multiple Plants
The Challenge
Eureka Concrete operates six batching plants across Victoria, supplying high-quality ready-mix concrete to a wide range of customers. With such a large-scale operation, manually handling orders via phone was causing:
Time-consuming order processing Miscommunication between customers and plants Errors in batching due to manual data entry
Eureka needed a more efficient way to handle orders without disrupting their existing batching system.
The ICS Solution
ICS worked with Eureka Concrete to develop an online ordering system that links directly to their Axibatch batching system. This means:
- Customers can place and modify orders online instead of calling.
- Orders automatically sync with the batching system, eliminating manual re-entry.
- All six plants receive real-time order updates, improving coordination.
The Result
Since implementing ICS’s online ordering solution, Eureka Concrete has seen:
- Fewer batching errors – Eliminating manual data entry reduces costly mistakes.
- Faster order processing – Customers can place, track, and adjust orders effortlessly.
- Improved plant efficiency – Orders are instantly available at the correct batching location.
Eureka now has a modern, efficient order system that keeps customers happy and operations running smoothly.
Case Study: Frankston Sand and Soil – Integrating Systems for a Single Plant
The Challenge
Unlike Eureka’s multi-plant operation, Frankston Sand and Soil needed a complete integration solution for its single batching plant. They faced challenges with:
Disconnected systems for orders, fleet, batching, and invoicing
Manual data entry across multiple platforms
Delays in processing orders and payments
They needed one streamlined system that could bring everything together.
The ICS Solution
ICS developed a fully integrated system that connects every part of Frankston Sand and Soil’s operations, including:
- Online ordering – Customers place orders directly through a single system.
- Fleet tracking & scheduling – Ensuring deliveries align with production.
- Batching system integration – Orders flow directly into the batching software.
- Automated invoicing & payments – Reducing administrative workload.
The Result
With everything fully integrated, Frankston Sand and Soil now operates far more efficiently, benefiting from:
Reduced admin workload – No need to enter the same data into multiple systems.
Real-time tracking – Fleet, batching, and payments are now seamlessly connected.
Faster order fulfillment – Customers get their deliveries quicker and with fewer errors.
By integrating all systems into one, Frankston Sand and Soil is now running smoother, faster, and with fewer manual processes.
ICS: The Future of Integrated Concrete Operations
Whether managing a multi-plant operation like Eureka Concrete or optimising a single facility like Frankston Sand and Soil, ICS provides tailored integration solutions to:
- Connect order management, fleet tracking, batching, and invoicing
- Eliminate redundant data entry and reduce costly errors
- Improve operational efficiency and customer satisfaction
