Construction Company

A leading construction company specializing in cement logistics needed a robust technology solution to optimize truck delivery times and reduce downtime. To achieve this, the company engaged Sonatafy Technology during project set-up and initial development through to ongoing monitoring and support. The aim was to implement a GPS tracking system and logistical software that would precisely time truck arrivals and cement deployment, thereby minimizing costly delays and inefficiencies.

The
Challenge.

The client faced critical operational challenges: every minute a truck waited to deploy cement incurred additional gas and manpower costs. They needed to quickly build a development team that could design and implement a solution to track truck locations in real time and streamline the entire delivery process. With multiple teams operating across the United States, Texas, and Germany, the client required a cohesive, global development strategy to support their construction operations around the world.

Our
Solution.

Sonatafy Technology responded by rapidly sourcing a team of highly qualified developers from Latin America, augmenting the client’s disparate teams in the United States. Within six short weeks, Sonatafy hired and trained a team of 13 engineers and a team lead who worked directly with counterparts in Texas and Germany. The new team built a technology solution using .NET and custom deployment scripts, integrated automated testing tools, and set up MySQL databases and reporting tools to track key performance metrics. This agile, nearshore collaboration enabled a seamless integration with the client’s existing operations, ensuring a quick and efficient rollout.

Key Technical
Contributions.

Sonatafy’s team developed a system that leveraged .NET technologies to create a scalable backend solution, while custom deployment scripts streamlined the release process. The use of automated test tools ensured that defects were quickly identified and resolved, significantly reducing downtime. MySQL and reporting tools were integrated to monitor and report on delivery metrics in real time, allowing precise coordination of truck arrivals and cement deployment. This comprehensive technical approach directly addressed the client’s need to minimize delays and lower operational costs.

The
Outcome.

Over the course of two years, Sonatafy’s dedicated team of 13 .NET engineers and quality assurance professionals consistently met or exceeded the client’s internal project timelines. Their agile and integrated approach significantly reduced the time between defect identification, notification, maintenance, and deployments. Even after several restructurings on the client’s side, the Sonatafy team remains a vital component of the global development effort, now led from Germany, supporting construction teams around the world.
