Discover how Bouygues Construction Equipment uses Dashdoc.
Can you introduce your company's business?
Bouygues Construction, part of the French Bouygues Group, is one of Europe's leaders in sustainable construction. The equipment entity of the Bouygues Group aims to supply construction sites with equipment for civil engineering and construction. The Transport Department handles an average of 36,000 transport requests to or from construction sites. These transports are carried out by drivers who are part of Bouygues Construction and/or transport suppliers, mainly using flatbed vehicles.
What does innovation mean within your company?
Innovation means being proactive about the needs of our partners, construction sites, but also in response to new regulations.
This translates into the acquisition of new-generation trucks running on biogas and the operation of an electric equipment-hauling truck with our partner Mauffrey.
What are the challenges or obstacles you face at Bouygues Construction?
Our main transport challenge is anticipating carbon regulations: in France, Low Emission Zones (LEZs) will ban polluting trucks, such as diesel, from city centers in the short and medium term.
The second challenge is related to the digitalization of our business.
Finally, there is a challenge related to safety: we equip our vehicles with 360° solutions, allowing drivers to have a comprehensive view of their vehicle's surroundings.
Why did you choose to use Dashdoc?
We trusted Dashdoc because this solution addressed many issues:
Lack of traceability
Loss of information between stakeholders
Inability to calculate the carbon emissions of our transports
Digitalization of our processes
Dashdoc addresses many issues, such as lack of traceability, loss of information between stakeholders [...] but also digitalizing our processes and calculating the CO₂ emissions per transport.
How did your company operate before Dashdoc?
Before Dashdoc, we communicated with our suppliers by email or even by fax. We had to make and receive a lot of phone calls to locate trucks and equipment. The electronic consignment note (eCMR, Europe's equivalent of an eBOL) is therefore a real plus, but it isn't everything.
How do you use Dashdoc on a daily basis?
The Dashdoc solution allows us tocommunicate with our drivers and carrier partners reliably and quickly. It is the link between transport operations and all the drivers carrying out transport services organized by my department.
We observe a real simplification as we can track in real time where the driver is and see a photo of the goods, where the equipment is delivered or loaded on the construction site and at the equipment yard.
What are the benefits with Dashdoc?
100% of transport documents are digitalized;
100% of transports are tracked in Dashdoc;
2,000 text-message arrival alerts.
What does Dashdoc bring to your customers?
Dashdoc guarantees fast and accurate invoicing, instant updates on delivery-related information, and also calculation of carbon emissions per transport.
