Savings and costs
Read about the huge savings we make or you and what it costs you to get those savings....(spoiler; its free...)
construction companies and their subcontractors save up to 50% on their logistic costs (and with this raise their ebit by average 7%)
you save us much money, how?
The way construction logistics are organised today is often complex, fragmented, and inefficient.
Materials are moved and stored multiple times before reaching their final destination, while numerous suppliers send separate, partially filled trucks to the same site. The result is unnecessary costs, avoidable emissions, and a logistics process that operates far below its potential efficiency.
These costs add up to average 15% of the building sum today. (Beware that some logistic costs are hidden in your purchasing price or incoterms)
Qonnected handles all logistics the most efficient way and can save up to 40% on these costs! This will reduce your logistic cost by 6% and immediately raise your ebit by the same 6% on any project!
You don't pay us in the traditional sense. There is only one thing we ask: order your materials excluding transport costs.
In other words, purchase your materials at the net product price*. There is no such thing as "free delivery"—transport costs are simply built into the price.
From that point on, we take over. We organise transportation and warehousing in the most efficient way possible and invoice you only for the actual logistics services provided. The result is a significantly lower overall logistics cost.
We manage the entire process: negotiating transport-free pricing with suppliers, coordinating pickups, scheduling dates and times, consolidating loads, and arranging deliveries.
You don't have to worry about any of it. Simply monitor the progress through your Q-Platform dashboard while we take care of the logistics.
*Net product price excluding transport costs.

what is not
Runner Service
Need materials delivered to a specific location on-site, such as the 4th floor or a particular work zone? Our Runner Service can take care of this for you.This service is available at an additional cost and is quoted based on the project's requirements.
However, these costs are typically more than compensated by the savings generated through our efficient transport and logistics approach.We simply want to ensure complete transparency—no surprises.
Shuttle Service
If parking at the construction site is challenging due to limited space, high parking costs, or because your employees do not have access to emission-free transport, we offer a practical and efficient solution for your construction workforce and other project staff.
Employees can park their private vehicles at one of our strategically located construction hubs outside the city centre. From there, we arrange group transportation to and from your project locations within the city.
Long-term storage
Long-term storage is not included in our standard service, as our logistics model is designed to keep storage to a minimum in order to achieve maximum efficiency.
While we do have storage capacity available, it is primarily used to support short-term, flow-based logistics rather than long-term warehousing.
For dedicated long-term storage needs, we offer flexible solutions including indoor and outdoor storage space, as well as both floor storage and racked storage options.
In addition, we can manage your materials and arrange shipment to other locations when required.
All long-term stock is fully visible and trackable via the Q-Platform.
Software integrations
We can integrate the Q-Platform with your existing systems, including ERP software, planning tools, and BIM environments.
If a ready-made integration is available, we charge a one-off implementation fee.
For more specialised or less common (“exotic”) software systems, we can develop a custom connection, which is billed at cost.
For all system integrations, we apply a small usage fee of €0.01 per API calls (GET and POST requests).
As an alternative, you can also use simple uploadable spreadsheets per project—this option is always free of charge.
You are free to upload spreadsheets yourself at any time. For your first implementation, we provide full support at no cost to ensure everything runs smoothly.
By estimate only
You pay
-
nothing upfront
-
no installation fees
-
no subscription fees/month/year.
-
no support fee

You pay the logistic invoices you get from us, up to less than 40% what you pay now.
You pay additional services when chosen:

so, in short, what do you pay?
You have
-or are-
a subcontractor
It makes no difference, as we combine projects. A subcontractor can simply create their own project.
As the main contractor, you should encourage your subcontractors to use the Q-Platform. It saves them both time and money while giving uou full overview in one go..
Not only main contractors, but subcontractors as well often purchase materials through wholesalers. We offer them the opportunity to buy directly from the source—the manufacturer—since we already collect materials there.
This approach can result in significant additional savings.
