In construction logistics, the last mile is often seen as the most critical phase of the delivery journey. And understandably so—it’s where operations meet the end customer. But focusing solely on this final step overlooks a much bigger opportunity. At Qonnected, the vision goes further: not optimizing the end of the chain, but orchestrating the entire journey. From fragmentation to orchestration Traditional logistics models are typically built on separate components: carrier

What if you could flexibly lease out your unused warehouse space? Maximize every square meter and generate stronger returns from your real estate. And if you already have also warehouse staff in place to handle cross-docking, why not put that capacity to work as well? From Process Efficiency to Supply Chain Orchestration Over the past few decades, organisations have made major strides in optimising their supply chains. Through lean practices, more advanced planning systems, a

For many manufacturers and suppliers in the construction chain, push is still the standard: producing based on forecasts and delivering according to fixed patterns. However, in an increasingly dynamic market, this leads to surpluses, rush deliveries, and unnecessary costs. The shift to pull requires something different: real-time insight into actual demand from projects. When you are closer to the demand of builders and clients: you align production more effectively with what

We at Qonnected are very proud that we have won the tender from the Municipality of Eindhoven, with the goal of making better use of the existing construction hub (Bouwhub) in Eindhoven. In this project, we will work closely with the municipality to optimize construction logistics in the city and surrounding region. Not only for the short term, but as a structural and scalable solution. This tender falls under the Startup in Residence Intergov program, which brings together g

For Construction companies, suppliers of building materials and carriers How can you gain better insight into the needs of builders and project owners? This is a question we heard time and again during the VSK+E trade fair. Qonnected offers a construction platform that provides a direct answer. One central place for ordering, planning, and delivery (logistics). No more separate deliveries. No more fragmented planning.But one platform where manufacturers, construction companie

For Construction companies, suppliers of building materials and carriers Just a few days ago the Dow Jones Transport Index LOST $17 BILLION in market cap overnight.  The stock exchange realised suddenly that AI was taken over.... The fact that this is now spreading into AI should not be a surprise to the logistics industry. 3 Years ago on the GS1 Summit was said that AI was coming for our jobs and the response was deer-in-the headlights.  We live in a time when companies like

Transport as a Key Factor in Circular Construction In a circular construction economy, the focus is on preserving material value. Transport largely determines whether reuse is practical, economical, and environmentally viable. Without well-organized transport, circular ambitions remain theoretical: materials still need to be moved, stored, inspected, and redeployed. Qonnected has already done its part in the circularity principle! Read more. Transport in the Circular Construc

The upcoming Dutch truck toll calls for action.It pushes companies to take a critical look at their logistics — but at the same time, it opens up new opportunities. By combining trips and eliminating empty mileage, both costs and emissions go down. Those who invest in electric trucks benefit from lower tariffs, reduced maintenance, and greater control over the price per kilometer. Better insights into routes, load factors, and driving behaviour immediately reveal where effici

this article was also published in Bouwtotaal (Dutch) Ten Years Ago: A Call for Change Ten years ago, TKI Dinalog (Dutch Institute for Advanced Logistics), TNO, and TLN stated that construction logistics urgently needed to catch up in the areas of supply chain management and 4C (Cross Chain Control Center).The message was clear: current construction logistics are too fragmented, inefficient, and place unnecessary strain on cities. Only through close cooperation between compan

Construction circularity is still in its infancy. Although sustainability is now high on the agenda, the construction industry is only at the beginning of its transition from a linear to a circular system. The sector — responsible for nearly half of all raw material consumption in the Netherlands — has the potential to make a huge difference, but in practice the shift proves difficult. Yet, movement is slowly emerging within the chain. And interestingly, it’s not only innovat

In the construction sector, multiple parties often work together: contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and logistics service providers. This chain is complex, with many interdependencies. One weak link can have far-reaching consequences for a project. One of the biggest risks is the bankruptcy of a subcontractor or supplier. Direct impact of bankruptcy When a subcontractor or supplier goes bankrupt, projects can come to a halt or face significant delays. Materials may no l

The Strategic Importance of Integrated Planning in Construction Projects: Efficient Use of Machinery Summary The performance of construction projects depends on the coordinated deployment of three critical resources: labor, machinery, and materials. While each area must be managed individually, an isolated approach leads to inefficiency, cost overruns, and delays. The most successful projects adopt an integrated planning approach, combining labor availability, equipment sched
