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: carrie

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,

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 effectivel y with wha

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 l

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 effic

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
