EROAD and the Bulk Construction Materials Initiative (BCMI) are working together in enabling industry-relevant customer-centric solutions. Current initiatives include the integration of EROAD's Drive application with BCMI's dispatch system, supporting business critical insights and improved efficiency and transparency for ready-mix fleets. EROAD's and BCMI's teaming approach toward exploring opportunities for integrated and complementary solutions offers a range of potential benefits for drivers, back-office teams and fleet managers.

Advantages include greater visibility of the status and location of assets, loads and materials for users across the ready-mix supply chain, supporting opportunities for better communication, streamlined workflows and overall fleet management.

Text messages can be sent to and received from the Drive app, displaying seamlessly on drivers' in-cab tablets and visible from BCMI's dispatch system. Customers can look forward to: Greater Efficiency ?
