Build a construction materials system around your mixes, your yards and your weighbridge.
A construction materials plant sells weight and volume. Cement, aggregate, blocks, tiles and chemicals all leave through a gate, usually past a weighbridge.
Production is recorded in one book, stock in a second and dispatch in a third. Contractors then phone to ask what they owe and which trucks arrived. Nobody can say.
A system built at GullySystem would tie each batch to its mix, each load to its weighment and each weighment to the contractor’s account.
Construction material makers a system can be built for.
A block yard counts pieces from a curing rack. A tile plant counts boxes by size and shade. A chemical maker counts drums by batch. The system uses the count that your yard uses.

The modules, and what each one covers.
Nothing here is a fixed package. Each module is built, left out or changed to match how your organisation already works.
Products and mix designs
Each product has a mix or recipe, and a change to the mix is recorded with its date.
- Product, size and grade
- Mix design by version
- Cement, aggregate, sand and admixture quantities
- Water content
- Strength grade target

- Crushing machine result
- Pass or fail against grade
- Results by mix and batch
- Retest record
- Batch held on failure
- Test report for the customer
A failed cube points back to a mix, a batch and a day. That chain is only available if the batch was recorded when it was made.
Curing yard and drying
Blocks and precast items spend days in curing, and the yard needs to know what is ready.
- Curing bay or rack allocation
- Start date and curing method
- Water and steam curing log

- Reinforcement cage record
- Casting date and pour
- Lifting and stacking
- Element number and location on site
- Dispatch sequence
- Mould repair and life
Chemicals, paints and batch processing

- Ageing by customer
- Security deposit and retention
Plant maintenance and costing
A plant stops when a mixer, press or kiln stops, so maintenance is planned against production.
- Machine register
- Breakdown log
- Preventive maintenance plan
- Spares and wear parts
- Power and fuel use
- Cost per unit by product
- Production against capacity
- Plant-wise profit
One connected workflow, end to end.
Every stage below can sit in one system, so nobody re-enters what the last stage already captured.
- Raw material receipt
- Weighbridge in
- Batching or pressing
- Curing or firing
- Testing
- Sorting and stacking
- Order and dispatch slot
- Loading and weighment
- Delivery
- Invoicing
- Collection
You do not have to replace everything at once.
Each phase is usable on its own, so the system earns its place before the next part is built.
- 1
Materials, mixes and production
Raw material receipt, weighbridge records, mix designs and batch or press output by shift.
- 2
Testing and the yard
Strength tests, curing yard stock, kiln records and the stock that is ready to sell.
- 3
Dispatch and contractor accounts
Orders, weighment, delivery notes, invoices, fleet trips and contractor ledgers by site.
- 4
Maintenance, costing and reporting
Machine upkeep, cost per unit, plant comparison and links to the weighbridge and batching controller.
How a build actually runs.
- 01
Visit the yard
We stand at the weighbridge for a shift and follow one truck from entry to invoice.
- 02
Read your mixes
Mix designs, test registers and the dispatch book show which numbers are used to make decisions.
- 03
Design for the gate
A weighbridge operator with a truck waiting needs one screen with large buttons, so that screen is designed first.
- 04
Build the weighment
Weighbridge, stock and dispatch come first, because the invoice and the contractor ledger read from them.
- 05
Pilot one plant
One plant runs on the system beside its books until the weights and the stock agree.
- 06
Carry across balances
Customer ledgers, opening stock and mix designs are moved in before go-live.
- 07
Extend to other plants
More plants, product lines and customer portals are added once the first is steady.
What you bring, and when.
The build moves at the speed of the answers. These are the things we ask for, in the order we ask.
- 01
Mix designs, weighbridge slips and cube results
Provide mix design sheets, a day of weighbridge slips, cube test records and the dispatch register. For tiles or fabricated items add a production sheet. Paper formats are welcome.
- 02
Plant, lab and dispatch
The plant in-charge, the lab technician and the dispatch clerk each get a say in their own screens. Lab and plant can differ over a batch. The plant manager settles it.
- 03
Price lists, contractor credit and mix change rights
Customer price lists, credit ceilings for contractors, who may alter a mix design and the accepted material loss must be fixed before billing and production screens are built. Billing waits on these. Plant staff walk through each result.
- 04
Opening stock and the weighbridge link
Stock of cement, aggregates and finished goods and every customer balance move in at go-live. The weighbridge needs some readable output so it can be linked. Management gives approval.

Questions owners ask before starting.
What is custom construction materials software?
It means a system drawn around your own mixes, plants, yards and customers. Its main job is to tie each batch to a test, each load to a weighment and each load to an account.
Can it read from the weighbridge?
Yes, where the weighbridge indicator has a data output. Weights are read straight in, with the vehicle number and the order attached before the truck has left the platform. Otherwise the operator enters them. Each device is checked in design.
Does it connect to a batching plant controller?
It can, where the controller exports actual quantities per batch. Compared with the mix design, those quantities show material variance.
Can strength test results block a sale?
Yes, when you set that rule. A batch can be held automatically on a failed result and released after a retest or a decision.
We run several small plants. Can they share one system?
Yes. Each plant has its own stock, production and dispatch, while owners see all of them together.
Does it handle contractor accounts across many sites?
Yes. Rates, deliveries and ledgers are kept by site, and statements can be sent per project.
Is it suitable for a tile or block plant?
Yes. Tile plants record boxes by size and shade. Block plants record batches, curing and yard stock by age.
Can drivers confirm delivery from a phone?
Yes. A driver can record arrival, the receiver’s name and a photograph of the signed delivery note.
How we work with this trade.
Ready products for this work.
If one of these fits, it is cheaper and faster than building from scratch. We will say so.
Build a materials system that starts at the weighbridge.
The weighment is the one number everyone at the gate agrees on, from the driver and the operator to the clerk who raises the invoice that afternoon. Build stock, invoice and ledger on it.
Send one day of weighbridge slips and one mix design. The written reply follows a single load from the gate to the ledger.
