Industry
Quarry and Construction
Control production, weighbridge, fleet and project cost across heavy operations.
Sector overview
Quarrying and construction are capital-intensive businesses where margins are won and lost in the field — at the weighbridge, in the fleet, and across projects where material, fuel and labour costs can quietly overrun. Without accurate, timely data, operators sell blind, pay for leakage they cannot see, and discover project losses only at month-end.
Transformation in this sector brings discipline to the point of transaction — the weighbridge ticket, the fuel bowser, the plant hour — and connects it to project cost accounting and executive reporting. The result is accurate sales, controlled fleet and fuel cost, and clear, current visibility into project profitability.
The challenge in this sector
- Manual weighbridge processes vulnerable to error and leakage
- Uncontrolled fuel, tyre and maintenance cost across vehicles and plant
- Project cost blind spots with no current view of margin by job
- Dispatch, stockpile and sales data not reconciled with finance
- Billing delays and disputes over quantities and rates
- Equipment utilisation unknown, leading to over- or under-investment
The Nowills transformation approach
We start at the transaction points that determine your margin — the weighbridge, the fuel bay, the project cost line — and trace how data flows, or fails to flow, into finance. We design a controlled operating model and deploy Nowills SQC ERP with the BI layer that turns field data into executive insight.
Field staff training and ongoing support ensure the controls hold up under real operating pressure, day after day.
