The move is the latest of the company’s efforts to enhance the sustainability of its operations and reduce carbon emissions as part of its dedicated climate action strategy Future In Action.
From 5th September 2022, readymix customers will receive digital delivery tickets via CEMEX Go, the end-to-end platform that allows users to check the status of jobs, place and track orders, access records, pay invoices among other things. This will be a phased roll out by market area, beginning with the North West of the UK.
Deliveries will now be signed for via a mobile device, which CEMEX says offers further safety and efficiency benefits in addition to the sustainability savings. Digital tickets will ensure a contact free delivery and reduce the requirement for operatives to move around on site.
Additionally, it will be easier for sites to manage their administration and reduce the potential for errors. After signing, delivery tickets will be immediately available for customers to view in the CEMEX Go Track app and stored securely in the cloud for instant, transparent, and real-time access.
Lex Russell, MD for CEMEX UK Materials, commented: “CEMEX Go Paperless is the latest in our efforts to increase the sustainability of our business while enhancing customer experience and further improving our safe and efficient operating model.
“This move saves the equivalent of 13 trees every year and 0.6 tonnes CO2. We strive to make CEMEX easier to do business with and this change has been welcomed by our customers and employees.”
Further rollouts of CEMEX Go Paperless are planned to incorporate CEMEX UK’s other business units. A trial for Packed Cement is currently underway, with an aim for this to be launched by the end of 2022. A
