Q Plant - Essential
The entry-level solution for mixing plant optimization.

This Q Plant edition is the entry-level solution for optimizing the mixing plant. The focus is on the digital ordering and delivery process as a basis for optimizing the production sequence. Every customer of the mixing plant can be provided with a digital ordering solution (usable via app or web portal). The digital mix orders created with this are managed in the Q Plant Essential ordering portal, and communication with the construction site is also done digitally and at any time. Changes in the ordering process are automatically documented and can be viewed by everyone.

For "Delivered At Place" deliveries, Q Plant Essential provides planning options and up-to-date information about the delivery process available. Q Plant Essential also includes an interface for importing digital delivery note information, which is then not only provided in Q Plant but also forwarded to the customer.
