Losses due to logistics and delivery scheduling inefficiencies
Limited unloading areas in built up urban centers
Increase in compliance needs on construction project for local authorities, developers, and security
Reactive approach to booking that limits flexibility and planning
Low profitability in construction
Logistics can be 10-20% of costs
Voyage Control helps General Contractors improve site productivity through a reduction in wasted or failed deliveries and reduced queuing for trucks.
Voyage Control allows you to replace your whiteboard with a calendar that is updated in real time, making morning meetings much more effective.
Know the origin of deliveries so that you can prepare for any needed inspections of materials.
We help Sub Contractors improve their productivity through a reduction in wasted or failed deliveries to a site.
Provide visibility into the usage of resources, such as cranes and forklifts, so that different subs aren’t waiting idle to use them.
Drivers hit a traffic jam and all arrive at the same time where half of the drivers are unproductive and have to sit idly while the rest unload.
Developers benefit by using the Voyage Control system because it gives them improved management through the build and operation phases, cut costs through a reduction in failed deliveries, and demonstrate compliance with local municipality requirements.
During a project, developers have access to time-stamped delivery information which can be used as evidence for noise and emissions compliance issues.
On-site safety is increased due to vehicles being checked in and out during every delivery.
The local community benefits when Voyage Control is used because it reduces traffic congestion and impact on the surrounding areas throughout the construction process.
Reduce scenarios where trucks queue on the street causing traffic jams.
Ensure that any construction related activities are occurring inside the confinement of the site.
Voyage Control’s platform has been used at numerous construction sites across various geographies and project types. Our software has been used at vertical builds, healthcare facilities, stadium renovations, train stations, and everything in between. Our core functionality lies in helping General Contractors gain visibility into the deliveries coming on site, to enhance security and drive accountability amongst all parties involved.
Laing O’Rourke draws on its experience of delivering major, complex projects in the aviation sector, meaning they know how to work with an airport’s many safety and security requirements during construction. Given the requirement for a thorough logistics platform, LOR looked to Voyage Control to tackle these challenges together.
They knew how important it would be to achieve the maximum throughput of the loading gates around the multiple project sites at the airport, and how valuable the Gate Clerks and Project Managers time is. Also, the security benefit of having an easily accessible record of exactly who was on site and when comes in handy for airport security.

Robins & Morton was looking for a tech partner to help them work towards lean construction goals. Their challenge? Building a new children’s hospital within a working hospital campus in downtown Charleston’s medical district, without disrupting ongoing medical operations. They had little visibility into their deliveries and resource requirements, which on a complex job site leads to chaos and headaches.
We joined forces to help them solve these issues and more, in the hopes of lowering their monthly Tylenol bills and increasing their time available for putting work in place. Good news, the results have been superb. Superintendents and Foremen are saving hours of time every week, and reallocating those hours to more time spent on their core project responsibilities.
