TRKR technology streamlines concrete ordering and ...
Surface Tech has applied its strength in innovation to create an e-tool that converts the fragmented ready-mix concrete buying process into one streamlined, user-friendly platform. Available for desktop with a mobile app feature, TRKR is a premier online ordering system designed specifically for the concrete industry. (The company reports TRKR for asphalt and aggregates is currently under development.)
Surface Tech designed TRKR based on real world experience for concrete contractors, logistics providers and ready-mix suppliers. It combines the best practices in supply and building with the particular needs of the concrete industry. The result is an elegant interface that simplifies common administrative tasks and improves onsite job safety and compliance.
For contractors, TRKR provides a direct link to RMX suppliers, allowing you to shop mix designs and customize the perfect concrete for your specific project. You can then schedule, pay and track the order from truck start to placement completion. Press Done and document all project data and media into one able repository.
As your order progresses, you’ll receive comprehensive reports on a daily or project-basis that you can share with clients or subcontractors. Simply put, TRKR takes the guesswork out of ordering. Moreover, TRKR improves ordering efficiency and compliance by providing documentation and performance measures.
The TRKR mobile app provides drivers the ability to capture all exchanges from pickup, to delivery, to completion — all in real time. Built-in safety features provide the ability to capture photos, video, notes, forms and test data that import into the project portfolio, also in real time. Drivers especially appreciate the auto-routing feature and the Safety Check List at each point of delivery.
TRKR Mobile also offers an easy-to-use documentation management and compliance system that improves job site visibility, efficiency and safety and also reduces the risk of construction defects.
Contractors and concrete producers alike can now automate ordering, scheduling and manage payments with ease through TRKR. Customers can pay with credit/debit cards up front, and even those who have RMX credit can pay using their normal invoicing routines. Add improved safety and job site performance, and you have a winning system for making your business run smoother.

E-tools from Surface Tech benefit both Contractors and RMX/Logistics suppliers
Take one look at the user-friendly interface, and you’ll be sold on how e-tools from Surface Tech can make future ready-mix ordering and delivery so effortless.
For Contractors, TRKR and TRKR Mobile provide a direct link to RMX/Logistics suppliers, allowing you to shop mix designs and customize the perfect concrete for your specific project. You can then schedule, pay and track the order from truck start to placement completion. Press Done and relax.
When your order completes, you’ll receive a comprehensive report on a daily or project-end basis that you can e-share with clients or subcontractors. Simply put, TRKR and TRKR Mobile take the guesswork out of ordering.
The software also works well if you’re a ready-mix supplier, because you’ll gain an invaluable logistics tool. It allows you to approve orders and schedule dispatches, including the assignment of drivers.
For your drivers, TRKR Mobile is a dream come true. It provides auto-capture of comprehensive weather conditions that may affect pick-up, delivery or completion of the load on a project-by-project basis. Drivers especially appreciate the auto-routing feature, and the Safety Check List at each point of delivery.
They also appreciate the media capture ability, which allows them to grab live or camera roll photos and video, then dictate notes to add to the images. A variety of forms and testing reports can also provide feedback. Best of all, the data captured relays back in real time and is shareable. And like the Contractor, you’ll receive comprehensive progress reports on a daily or project-end basis.
“Contractors and RMX/Logistics now have an online and transparent means to track orders and save all pertinent data to a single project repository that is shareable and will integrate with any software capture system,” said Steve Santa Cruz, Surface Tech president.

Take an opportunity to Test Drive the Revolutionary New E-platform for the Concrete Industry
Every three years, early March brings one of the largest gatherings in the construction industry to Las Vegas - the CONEXPO - CON/AGG Convention. Surface Tech will be a part of this exciting event and attendees will have the opportunity to demo its revolutionary e-platform.
“The e-platform is more than your average order fulfillment software,” said Steve Santa Cruz, President, Surface Tech. “Our platform helps improve margins, improves customer relations and streamlines processes right from the very start of a project and is designed to fit the unique needs of the concrete industry. This is in addition to the numerous other benefits the e-platform offers such as documentation and safety compliance, logistics improvements and overall increased transparency.”
The e-platform works to unite processes unique to the concrete industry (from engineering, specifications, estimating/delivery through placement, testing and back-end practices) and includes three modules focused on e-content, e-commerce and mobile applications.
Through the use of these modules, clients will see opp//surface-tech.com/landing-page-asmbl/vortunities to increase margins, enhance efficiency, reduce construction defect claims, and improve job safety.

Surface Tech Makes an Impact at World of Concrete
WOC attendees were invited to the Surface Tech Suite at the Wynn Encore for the unveiling of the groundbreaking e-platform.
The glitz of Las Vegas set the stage for Surface Tech’s unveiling of its groundbreaking e-platform at the Wynn Encore Las Vegas during the World of Concrete trade show event.
Attendees at 2017 World of Concrete were invited to see first-hand the rollout of the e-platform tooklkit.
“Many likened it to Uber or Amazon for the concrete industry,” said Bryan Goerger, Vice President/General Manager of the Concrete Division. “The excitement for this tool and how it will reinvent the concrete industry was contagious. I lost count of how many times we heard the word, ‘wow!’.”
The three components of the platform, TRKR™, CMPLYNC™, and ASBML™, were shown through a series of demos over the course of three days.
ASBML™, a module of the e-platform and first for the concrete industry, simplifies and enhances the bidding process for concrete contractors and estimators while providing engineers, designers and owners e-content to use for specifications to benefit from by selecting concretes that offer distinctive performance characteristics.
“I lost count of how many times we heard the word, ‘wow!’,” says Bryan Goerger.
The TRKR™ module eliminates many of the common jobsite and administrative challenges faced in the concrete industry today including ordering, delivery, measuring job site performance, billing/collection and more. Contractor orders through the supplier are kept up to date in real time and provides an added layer of transparency.
CMPLYNC™ is a Mobile App that is an active compliance management system which improves jobsite & transportation safety, and reduces the risk of construction defect claims.
“The industry is excited about this relevant and groundbreaking technology that will result in increased profitability and efficiency across the industry,” said Steve Santa Cruz, President, Surface Tech. “We are looking forward to the next phase of implementing our E-Platform and are motivated by the excellent feedback we received from industry peers at World of Concrete.”
