Lauren Concrete
Lauren Concrete is a leading provider of ready mix
concrete in Austin, Texas and has been serving the area
since 1986. While Austin is their main market, they have
a large footprint in central Texas with 23 plants spanning
from Mason in the west to Waller in the east. Lauren
Concrete covers many different projects ranging from
residential to commercial placements.
The Challenge
Lauren Concrete's ultimate goal is to completely digitize
their paper transactions for their Austin, Texas market.
One of the major pain points that they want to address is
dealing with paper in their business processes involving
their materials suppliers, as well as improving invoicing
and payables processes.
Traditional paper processes deliver virtually zero visibility
into the arrival time and order information of inbound
deliveries.
Having no insight into delivery status wreaks havoc if
materials arrive at the plant and do not meet project
specifications, or if they are running late it can potentially
affect the producers' ability to provide exceptional service
to their customers.
"We work within these four walls, our suppliers are
over here and our customers over here, and yet we did
not collaborate except with tickets that we pass share
person-to-person," said Ryan Bartholomew, CEO at
Lauren Concrete. "I think our company generates probably

has made us
more efficient
because we
don't have
to waste time
going through
paper processes
and everything
is tracked all the
way up to the
plant.
