BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 6, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Command Alkon, the world’s leading provider of comprehensive supply chain technology solutions for suppliers, carriers and buyers of heavy building materials, is pleased to host a session titled “Building A. Paperless Supply. “Chain: Lauren Concrete Creates Community on CONNEX” with Lauren Concrete at the Austin Build Expo, which takes place on August 11th and 12th from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm at the Palmer Events Center in Austin, Texas, takes place. Hear from representatives from Command Alkon and Lauren Concrete how the entire Austin hardware store can benefit from the introduction of technology that removes paper tickets from heavy building materials delivery processes.
Lauren Concrete currently uses Command Alkon’s CONNEX platform to digitize transactions for their Austin, Texas marketplace to address the challenges paper business processes with their suppliers and customers pose for their day-to-day operations, as well as invoicing and Improve accounts payable processes by reducing payment defaults.
“Traditionally we have worked within our four walls, where we have only worked with paper tickets that we have passed on manually,” said Ryan Bartholomew, CEO of Lauren Concrete. “Our company is probably generating nearly a million or more paper tickets a year, either inbound or outbound, which has created a lot of potential for error.”
CONNEX, Command Alkon’s digital collaboration platform, enables materials suppliers, buyers and shippers to share digital processes and simplify supply chain transactions.
“CONNEX helps us streamline the process for incoming materials and invoices, and enables our customers to do the same,” said Matt Jetmore, general manager, Central Region, Lauren Concrete. “By removing paper from the process and making all information immediately available in the cloud, productivity and transparency are significantly improved.”
CONNEX enables Lauren’s material suppliers and buyers a new way to receive and approve material delivery tickets to save significant time – both in the field and in the office – as well as improve data accuracy, operational transparency and collaboration.
“When our suppliers realized how easy it is to integrate CONNEX, any reluctance was removed,” said Bartholomew. “They benefit from this as much as we do, and it’s a much faster and more effective way to communicate with us electronically.”
