Qonnected Expands into Germany: Next Step in European Construction Logistics

Rotterdam / Düsseldorf – Qonnected is taking an important step in its European growth strategy by expanding into Germany. As the developer and operator of its proprietary AI-driven Q-Platform for construction logistics, Qonnected brings together all stakeholders within the construction supply chain in a single digital ecosystem. Through its expansion into Germany, the company aims to contribute to more efficient, sustainable, and better-connected construction logistics processes across Europe.

Construction logistics account for approximately 15% of the total project costs of a construction project. By organizing logistics processes more intelligently, significant cost savings of up to 50% and substantial efficiency improvements can be achieved. At the same time, challenges related to labor shortages, mobility, sustainability, and available logistics capacity continue to increase. Qonnected addresses these challenges through an approach that connects the entire construction supply chain

The Q-Platform Connects the Entire Construction Supply Chain

Qonnected offers an integrated, nationwide, and independent AI-driven IT supply chain platform that enables all parties involved in construction logistics to collaborate within a single ecosystem. The Q-Platform is based on the innovative Service as Software (SaS) principle, where artificial intelligence automates a large part of traditional logistics services.

Where planners, coordinators, and intermediaries were previously required to organize logistics processes, the platform now performs much of this work automatically. This creates a scalable logistics network capable of planning, optimizing, and coordinating operations 24/7 for the following four key stakeholder groups:

1. Main contractors and subcontractors

2. Transportation and storage companies

3. Construction material manufacturers and suppliers

4. Waste management, demolition, and recycling companies

   
   

The platform is supported by a nationwide network of physical construction hubs operated by affiliated transportation, storage, and construction companies. By intelligently utilizing the available warehouses, vehicles, and workforce of all connected logistics partners, network capacity can be maximized.

The platform is free to join for all supply chain partners. Users only pay for the services they actually use, such as storage, transportation, on-site construction logistics, labor, or equipment.

Circularity is an integral part of the Q-Platform. Even during the preparation phase of a construction project, the platform supports the use of reused materials and circular resources. By combining reverse logistics, storage, transportation, and project planning, surplus materials and second-chance products can be effectively deployed in new projects.

From Construction Hub to Mobility Hub

In addition to managing material and equipment flows, Qonnected also supports workforce mobility. As municipalities increasingly impose parking restrictions around construction sites, affiliated construction hubs also function as mobility hubs from which construction workers and other service providers can be efficiently transported to project locations. This reduces traffic congestion, parking pressure, and disruption in residential areas.

One Platform for People, Equipment, and Materials

The Q-Platform brings together the three critical flows within construction logistics: materials, equipment, and workforce. Thanks to this integrated approach, projects can reduce logistics costs by up to 50%.

In addition, the platform seamlessly integrates with ERP and BIM systems and supports organizations in achieving their ESG, BREEAM, and circularity objectives.

German Market and European Ambition

Like the Netherlands, the German construction sector faces rising logistics costs, labor shortages, and increasingly stringent sustainability and efficiency requirements. With the opening of its German office on Kaiserswerther Straße in Düsseldorf, Qonnected can now support customers locally in optimizing their logistics processes.

A fully German-language version of the platform makes Qonnected’s services immediately accessible to German construction companies, suppliers, and logistics service providers. This provides them with access to an innovative ecosystem in which logistics capacity is utilized more intelligently and efficiently.

The expansion into Germany aligns with Qonnected’s broader European growth strategy. The company aims to further digitize, consolidate, and optimize logistics processes within the construction sector, ultimately becoming Europe’s leading construction logistics platform.
