How Zone Manager works

Zone Manager goes beyond a construction deliveries booking system

R

Efficiency

In addition to logging vehicle details, arrival times and departure times, Zone Manager can be used to efficiently track materials and delivery quantities.
R

Control and up to date

It is a real-time management tool used to control and manage events as they happen.

Analysis

All events, both planned and actual, are logged onto the system which provides an invaluable resource for automated reporting as well as follow up and analysis.

The Zone Manager software allows dedicated time slots to be scheduled giving the Logistics Manager or Site Manager a thorough plan of activity.  It also enables contractors and suppliers to request delivery slots online for site managers to confirm or reject.  Furthermore, Zone Manager can also give selected approved contractors and suppliers, at your discretion, the authority to register and manage their bookings directly online.  

Unlike other delivery management software solutions, both off-site and on-site truck holding areas can be managed with Zone Manager with the added benefit of potential consolidation of deliveries.

Bookings

Zone Manager enables:

-Trade Contractors and Suppliers to enter requests or, if permitted, fully manage their bookings on-line.

-Site Managers to manage, change or delete bookings and provides the function to confirm or reject requests.

-Project Managers to check that the right materials are coming in at the right time.

-Project Managers to book vehicles on or off-site via the interface. This includes the control of remote holding parks away from the site meaning as vehicles arrive and depart from either the holding park or site the on-line diary updates to show their status.

-Double-bookings to be avoided as the diary has in-built intelligence.

Material tracking

Zone Manager lets you:

-Check and control contractors to ensure they are bringing in the right materials at the right time.

-Minimise the number of deliveries to site by identifying unnecessary ‘regular’ trips and finding opportunities for consolidation.

-Control or prevent disruptive unplanned deliveries.

Reporting

Zone Manager provides users with:

-Comprehensive reporting, allowing for real time monitoring and reporting of all on-site activity.

-Export of on-site activity data providing detailed analysis informing future decision-making processes.

-Accurate tracking of materials and delivery quantities through the software’s tracking capacity.

-It also provides logging of arrivals and departures of deliveries in real time which enables users to react and plan accordingly.

Ease of Use

Zone Manager includes:

-Optimisation for all devices including desktop, tablet and smartphones.

-Dashboard with instant reports and live ‘Arrivals’ boards

-Plan based booking where users pick their destination from a site layout.
