The Challenge
A regional quarry operation in North Texas was experiencing significant discrepancies between their book inventory and physical stockpiles. Annual audits revealed 8-12% variances, creating financial reporting issues and operational uncertainty.
The Solution
We implemented monthly drone volumetric surveys across their 15-acre site with 8 active stockpiles. The Inventory Partner program included:
- Monthly aerial surveys
- Belt scale reconciliation
- Material-specific pricing integration
- Trend analysis dashboards
The Results
Within six months:
- Variance reduced from 10% to under 2%
- $50,000+ annual savings from eliminated phantom inventory
- Financial audits completed 60% faster
- Belt scale calibration issues identified and corrected
"We finally have confidence in our inventory numbers. The monthly reports have become essential for our operations planning." — Operations Manager
