The construction industry plays an important role in the world economy, with $1.23 trillion spent in 2017 in the United States alone. Construction will continue to experience growth in coming years, and one key opportunity to maximize that growth is through digitization and adoption of new technology.
“It’s essential that innovation and adoption of new technology is at the forefront of how we do business, to continue to progress and grow as an industry,” said Jamie M. Gentoso, CEO of U.S. cement operations. “At LafargeHolcim, we challenge ourselves to think of new ways to drive efficiency, time savings and ease of communication to make it as easy as possible for our customers.”
To that end, LafargeHolcim is transforming its customer experience with the launch of three key digital solutions. Each of these new platforms are part of an ongoing strategy to improve engagement, streamline interactions, optimize projects, and bring added convenience.
- ConcreteDirect: A free smartphone app, available on iOS and Android, ConcreteDirect is a project coordination tool that helps customers save time, increase transparency with orders and deliveries, and increase crew utilization.
