Rio Grande Valley Highway Construction Project to Streamline with E-Ticketing Process
DRAGADOS-Pulice JV, two of the leading construction brands in the ACS Group Construction Division, has selected TruckIT to digitize the E-Ticketing process for the I-2/I-69C Interchange Project in the South Texas Rio Grande Valley. TruckIT’s patented AirTicket™ e-Ticketing solution provides Dragados-Pulice JV with a digital bill of lading for all project stakeholders including owners, Quality Engineers, TxDOT Inspectors, and Haulers—eliminating paper ticketing and automating operational workflows with actionable business intelligence.
The I-2/I-69C Interchange, one of busiest traffic areas in the Rio Grande Valley, is undergoing full reconstruction to reduce travel time, congestion and improve safety and traffic operations.
“We were spending an enormous amount of manpower every week on paper ticket management with manual ticket entry, just trying to track and reconcile piles of paper tickets,” said Rafael Hurtado de Mendoza y Giles, Equipment Director, Pulice Construction, Inc. “We’ve engaged TruckIT to eliminate the burden of paper tickets, streamline our operations to expedite the pacing of our asphalt and concrete deliveries, and ensure this reconstruction project—one that is enormously important for Rio Grande Valley citizens—maximizes every possible efficiency to help us stay on schedule.”
Dragados-Pulice JV operates high-value assets, like mobile asphalt and concrete plants, coordinates personnel in the field at distributed sites, manages complex logistics, and must meet safety and other regulatory requirements. Prior to partnering with TruckIT, Dragados-Pulice JV relied on existing legacy systems with siloed data and lagging visibility into the pacing of material and project performance. TruckIT’s connected digital tools helped to eliminate challenges around real-time operational insights and drove meaningful gains in efficiency and productivity.
TruckIT helps address these challenges by leveraging advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing and IoT connectivity to advance wholesale digital transformation resulting in one integrated platform that is specifically geared toward the demands of heavy civil construction.
“We extensively vetted solution providers for accuracy, reliability, speed, customization, and ease of use. Ultimately, we chose TruckIT for their innovative technology suite and capability to integrate with our existing tech stack including our scalehouses and batch plants, ERP’s, accounting, document management, and telematics,” continued Mendoza y Giles.
TruckIT’s AirTicket E-Ticketing technology combined with its cloud-based web and mobile app for dispatching, construction material management, and business intelligence provides Dragados-Pulice JV with a fully automated paperless system for record keeping, reconciliation, material monitoring and billing, and real-time ticket data accessible for all participating stakeholders within the material chain of custody with functionality for QC’s along with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) inspectors. TruckIT’s AirTicket technology is installed in hundreds of asphalt, ready-mix, and aggregate scalehouse locations, processing thousands of tickets a day with 100% accuracy for some of the largest producers in the world.
“Dragados/ACS Group and Pulice have an exemplary reputation in the construction industry, both in the US and across the world,” said Andrew Lindsay, Co-Founder and CEO, TruckIT. “The I-2/I-69C reconstruction is the perfect project for us to collaborate and showcase the valuable impact of digitizing the manual ticketing and giving Dragados-Pulice JV one source of truth for its project stakeholders—TxDOT, haulers, contractors—across the Rio Grande Valley. We look forward to growing our relationship and partnering on critical infrastructure projects to drive performance and operational efficiency.”
