Because Construction Logistics is not about filling storage zones

In the traditional way, materials are managed separately by each company and delivered to the site. It is estimated that a product is moved an average of 8 times after delivery (source: Aalto 2019) and that more than half of all workplace accidents occur while a worker is handling materials.

Mutualized allows to improve lorry fill rates, while ensuring that you have the material needed when it is needed. In practice, this generally involves using a CCC (Construction Consolidation Centre). This makes it possible to drastically reduce on-site storage problems and the nuisances associated with transport (pollution, noise, loss of management time).

A CCC (Construction Consolidation Centre) is a warehouse generally managed by a specialized logistics operator offering warehousing, delivery to site and repackaging services. A CCC can also be used for prefabrication or pre-assembly. There is no single CCC model. On our website you will find a directory of specialist service providers and feedback (coming soon).

TwiSCO is based on the experience of pioneering worksites in Europe, to offer customised functionalities specifically adapted to the need for optimised on-site flow management. In particular, TwiSCO makes it possible to manage kits in a collaborative and simplified way, with data on the corresponding products and by optimising the entire delivery route, not to the entry of the site but to the workstation.

Kitting is a change in worksite habits towards greater anticipation and collaboration, but it can be implemented simply step by step. To help you along the way, we can offer you progressive support based on over 12 years' experience of change management and operational excellence in construction.

The actual cost of construction logistics is mostly unknown as it is made of a lot of hidden costs. Pilot projects and case studies enabled however to make some measurement and in our pilots logisitcs accounted for 14% of the turnover of the considered tasks. Thanks to mutualized logistics and kitting, this could be reduced to 9% (logistic services included). Our website proposes a first and FREE rough estimation based on state of the art data.We can also help you for a more detailed estimation.
