A Giatec Case Study
Stoneway Concrete, a leading ready-mix producer in Seattle, faced a highly competitive market where it needed to differentiate itself from lower-priced bidders. Their challenge was to find new ways to add value and appeal to a new generation of tech-savvy contractors who demanded modern, technology-enabled solutions over traditional concrete testing methods. To address this, they turned to the SmartRock™ Plus solution from vendor Giatec.
Giatec provided the SmartRock™ Plus system, which uses wireless sensors and a mobile app to deliver real-time concrete strength and temperature data directly from the job site. This solution allowed Stoneway to distinguish its bids, strengthen client relationships by becoming an information hub, and generate new high-margin revenue. The measurable impact for contractors includes significant time and cost savings; one high-rise developer, for example, was able to accelerate its schedule by one day per floor, leading to huge project savings and earlier occupancy.
