A new e-ticketing service designed to save contractors time and money – as well as enable contactless transactions – will hit the market in the new year.
Soil Connect is launching the new e-ticketing service as part of its strategy to become a one-stop shop for contractors who need to buy or sell dirt and other haul materials, says company founder and CEO Cliff Fetner, who is also a third-generation builder and developer.
“It’s time to get rid of these old-school, manual, handwritten tickets,” Fetner says.
The new service is all conducted by software and mobile app, requiring no paper. All delivery tickets are stored digitally and can be viewed and approved by Android or Apple mobile device without the delivery driver, workers on the jobsite or back office administrators having to come in physical contact with anyone.
Soil Connect joins a growing marketplace of e-ticket providers, but Fetner says what sets his company apart is its focus on small to mid-size contractors, while others go after the departments of transportation and the large aggregate producers and asphalt plants. “We here at Soil Connect have chosen to not compete with any of them,” he says.
Fetner says his company can save this segment of the market thousands of administrative dollars and hours by eliminating the paper ticketing process, from order to delivery.
