■ DIGTIAL TICKETING

No matter what hat you wear in the construction industry, digital ticketing innovations will benefit your business.

Highway construction projects produce massive amounts of valuable data. Historically, information such as materials tickets and as-built plans were communicated via paper. Today’s transportation agencies are improving on these paper processes by integrating them into electronic and digital workflows. Electronic ticketing (e-Ticketing) improves the tracking, exchange, and archiving of materials tickets. e-Ticketing can increase project safety and quality through efficient data gathering and sharing.

The United States Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) defines e-Ticketing as a paperless process for creating, sharing, tracking, documenting, and archiving materials information, accessible in real time via mobile devices, provides all stakeholders with an electronic means to verify materials deliveries while enhancing safety, streamlining inspections, and improving contract administration procedures. Using electronic ticket exchanges enables access via mobile devices and simplifies handling and integration of material data into construction management systems for acceptance, payment, and source documentation.

Material Producers and Suppliers

Producers and suppliers are finding that adopting e-Ticketing not only improves the efficiency of operations, it is also making it easier to do business with them.

Contractors

Contractors are already benefiting from e-Ticketing by saving money on their projects. The foreman can see live loads coming off the scale. Project Managers can track materials for estimates without tracking down paper tickets.

Owners

The majority of Departments of Transportation are adopting e-Ticketing to enhance safety, streamline inspections, and improve contract administration.
