What is ready-mix concrete software?
Ready-mix concrete software manages the commercial and logistical work between a concrete producer and its customers: taking orders, approving them, planning which truck delivers which load and when, tracking each delivery, and producing delivery notes and invoices. It replaces phone calls, whiteboards and paper tickets with one shared system.

Who it is for
Linkoper is built for producers with one to around twenty plants who deliver with their own trucks, hired hauliers or both.
Independent ready-mix producers
One or a few batching plants, a dispatcher who also answers the phone, and customers who want to order without calling.
Regional multi-plant producers
Several plants sharing trucks and customers, where planning across depots and consistent product data matter most.
Producers that also run asphalt or aggregates
The same ordering, dispatch and delivery workflow works for asphalt and bulk materials.
Haulage companies working for producers
Transport firms that receive delivery assignments and need their drivers on one app with clear status updates.
How it works, from order to delivered load
1. Set up your products once
Your products and the questions each one needs (application, strength class, exposure class, consistence and so on) live in a product catalogue with version history and translations. Customers only see questions that apply, so orders arrive complete.
Product editor: the questions a customer answers when ordering concrete, with a live preview. 2. Customers and your team place orders
Orders come in through the customer portal or are entered by your sales team: single loads, several products in one request, several delivery dates or recurring daily, weekly and monthly schedules. Every order goes through an approval step where it can be edited or cancelled.
Orders overview: what needs attention today, with calendar, table, list and kanban views. 3. Plan the day's deliveries
Approved orders become delivery plans. The planner takes truck capacity, delivery time windows, site operating hours, priorities, driver availability, time off and truck maintenance into account, splits large pours into truck-sized loads and shows conflicts before you commit. Dispatchers can adjust any plan by hand.
Order calendar: one day of deliveries by site and time slot. 4. Drivers deliver and update status
Each driver sees assigned deliveries in the mobile app, updates the status at every step, shares location and attaches delivery documents. The office and the customer follow progress on the same data, without phoning the driver.
5. Documents and reports follow automatically
Delivery notes, order confirmations, quotations and invoices are generated from the order and delivery data. Reports cover truck cycle time, load fill rate, first-load punctuality, waiting time and cost to serve per customer, compared with your own previous periods.
Phone and spreadsheets vs ready-mix software
| Task | Phone, whiteboard and spreadsheets | Linkoper |
|---|---|---|
| Taking orders | Calls and messages written down by whoever answers | Customers order in the portal; product questions make orders complete |
| Order changes | Another call, a crossed-out line on the board | Edit or cancel through the approval workflow, with history |
| Planning the day | Dispatcher's experience and a whiteboard | Generated plan from capacity, time windows and availability, adjustable by hand |
| During delivery | Phone the driver to find out where the truck is | Live status and location from the driver app |
| Delivery notes | Paper tickets collected and filed by hand | Digital delivery note attached to the delivery |
| Invoicing | Retyped from tickets, loads get missed | Created from what was actually delivered |
| Reporting | Built by hand at month end, if at all | Cycle time, fill rate, punctuality and waiting time on demand |
Integrations and what Linkoper does not do
Linkoper sits above your batch plant control system: it manages orders, planning, delivery and documents, and does not control batching systems, PLCs or plant production. Data reaches your ERP or accounting software through the REST API or exports (CSV, Excel, PDF). It also does not cover raw-material inventory, laboratory quality control or sensor monitoring, so you can keep the specialist tools you already use for those.
- REST API for ERP, accounting and other business systems
- CSV, Excel and PDF exports, with scheduled reports by email
- Spreadsheet import of customers, sites, products and trucks during onboarding
- SaaS, private cloud or on-premise deployment
How to choose ready-mix concrete software
Most producers compare two or three systems before deciding. These are the questions that separate a tool your dispatchers will use every day from one that ends up next to the whiteboard.
Does it cover the whole order-to-delivery flow?
Ordering, approval, planning, the driver app, delivery notes and invoicing should share one set of data. Every hand-over between separate tools is a place where loads, changes or prices get lost.
Can customers order without calling you?
A customer portal only reduces phone calls if ordering is quick and the form asks the right questions for each product. Check how product questions, recurring orders and several delivery dates are handled.
How are real constraints handled in planning?
Ask whether the plan uses truck capacity, delivery windows, site hours, driver time off and maintenance, and whether dispatchers can still change any plan by hand. A plan nobody can adjust will be ignored.
What do drivers need on their phones?
Drivers should see their next delivery, update the status in a few taps and attach documents. If the app is slow or complicated, the office goes back to phoning drivers.
What does it cost and how fast is it live?
Look for a published price, a clear statement of what is included and a realistic go-live date. A single plant should not need a six-month project to stop taking orders by phone.
Who owns your data and how do you get it out?
You should be able to export orders, deliveries and reports at any time, and connect your ERP or accounting system through an API instead of retyping.
Pricing
Starter costs $799 per month for one plant with unlimited trucks, drivers and users, billed monthly. Standard onboarding is included and a single-plant rollout typically takes two to four weeks. Multi-plant producers get an Enterprise quote.

Common questions about ready mix concrete software
- What is ready mix concrete software?
- Ready mix concrete software is a digital platform that manages dispatch, delivery scheduling, and order processing for concrete producers. It replaces phone-based ordering and manual dispatch boards with live delivery tracking from the driver app, automated delivery planning, and a self-service customer portal.
- What is concrete dispatch software?
- Concrete dispatch software coordinates which truck delivers which order, in what sequence, based on truck capacity, delivery windows, priorities, and travel distance. It gives dispatchers a live view of delivery status and driver locations, and shows conflicts and unassigned orders before a plan is generated.
- What is concrete scheduling software?
- Concrete scheduling software plans truck and driver assignments ahead of and during the day, splitting large quantities into truck-sized trips and timing loads so deliveries arrive within the required pour window.
- What is concrete ordering software?
- Concrete ordering software lets customers place and track orders themselves through a self-service portal instead of calling in orders, reducing the transcription errors and delays that come with phone orders.
- What is concrete ticketing software?
- Concrete ticketing software (electronic ticketing) generates digital delivery tickets and proof of delivery at the point of drop-off, replacing paper tickets with records that sync automatically to invoicing and accounting.
- How long does it take to start using Linkoper?
- A single-plant producer is typically live in two to four weeks: setup of products, customers, sites and trucks in the first week, then training, a short parallel run and go-live.
- Does Linkoper control my batch plant?
- No. Linkoper works above the batch plant control system. It manages orders, planning, deliveries and documents, while batching, PLCs and production stay in the systems you already use.
- Can customers order concrete themselves?
- Yes. Customers get access to an ordering portal where they place orders, answer the product questions you configure, follow deliveries and download their documents.
- Does it work with hired hauliers?
- Yes. Loads carried by haulage partners can be planned alongside your own fleet, and subcontracted loads and their cost are shown separately in the reports.
- What does it cost?
- Starter is $799 per month for one plant with unlimited trucks, drivers and users, billed monthly with no long-term contract. Multi-plant producers get an Enterprise quote.
