Maintaining a balance between high transport efficiency, reliable procedures and ecological requirements is a challenge for many companies. Green logistics must also pay off. For this reason the building materials company K.H. GAUL has decided to support its economically and ecologically efficient transport planning with the help of the software system SyncroTESS and to continue working on their road to success.
In the first stage, the SyncroTESS system will optimise the despatch of bulk materials transport from the despatch site at Sprendlingen/ Germany. Among other things, SyncroTESS offers the possibility to dynamically select the delivery plant whilst taking into account the transport costs and material costs of each plant. In order to support the plant managers, SyncroTESS has been integrated at K.H. GAUL via an interface into the existing ERP and HGV telematics systems.
Founded as a one man company in the mid fifties in Sprendlingen/ Germany, the company K.H. GAUL GmbH & Co.KG now runs 25 plants in the Rhine-Main and Nahe region with around 300 employees and their own well-equipped vehicle fleet. The company’s core competence is in the supply of services related to construction sites. The goods and services offered include suplly of aggregates and sands, ready-mix concrete, asphalt, disposal and cleanup operations, recycling of construction waste, transport and freight services, as well as land restoration.
In K.H. GAUL’s company strategy economic efficiency is just as important as environmental awareness. Today, the proportion of recycled goods in the yearly output of the company amounts to more than 25%. Many of the plants are prime examples of intact ecosystems. The first steps towards success have been noted within the vehicle fleets with the cutting down of fuel use via optimised transport management.
