Introduction

In today’s fast-paced construction and infrastructure industries, efficiency is paramount. Yet, many businesses still rely on outdated, paper-based tracking systems for aggregate deliveries, leading to costly inefficiencies, compliance risks, and revenue losses.

With millions of euros worth of materials transported annually, it’s time to consider a smarter, more efficient approach. In this blog, we’ll explore the hidden costs of manual tracking and how digitisation with Hub360 can help businesses cut costs, enhance compliance, and improve efficiency.

The True Cost of Paper-Based Tracking

1. Compliance Risks and Regulatory Challenges

Governments and environmental agencies have tightened regulations on material tracking, with the EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan requiring businesses to maintain audit-ready documentation for waste management and sustainability.

Manual tracking systems increase the risk of:

• Non-compliance fines

• Higher administrative workload

• Inaccurate or missing reports

2. Operational Inefficiencies

Paper dockets and spreadsheets are outdated and prone to human error. The inefficiencies add up quickly:

• Time wasted on manually recording and verifying deliveries

• Delays in processing invoices and payments

• Increased administrative costs due to error reconciliation

3. Revenue Loss from Lost Dockets

Every misplaced or incorrect docket translates to lost revenue. Consider this:

• A business operating 10 tipper trucks, each making 2 trips per day over a 5-day workweek, results in 100 trips per week.

• At an average revenue of €500 per trip, the annual revenue potential is €2.6 million.

• A 3% revenue loss due to lost dockets means €78,000 in lost revenue annually—money that could be saved with automated tracking.

4. Sustainability and Market Expectations

Today’s construction clients expect transparency and sustainability. Companies still relying on paper-based systems risk:

• Losing out on green funding opportunities

• Falling behind competitors that offer digital tracking and compliance reports

• Failing to meet sustainability targets under EU and national regulations
