Kost Materials has grown from one plant, 12 trucks, and 15 employees in 2013 to 5 ready-mix concrete plants, 80 trucks, 90 employees, and their own cement and fly ash storage terminals in 2021 with Sysdyne

In the early years, Kost Materials quickly realized the need for a dispatch program to follow its growth trend. Once they learned about Sysdyne and their dispatch program ConcreteGO, they were sold. The main factor that helped in their decision was the reduction in various fees they had been experiencing with their previous program. Every time they needed to add a truck or user, there would be fees associated with each item, and they would have to rely on a support member to make these additions.

Recently, Kost Materials has also added Sysdyne’s iStrada GPS Truck Tracking to its arsenal. With their plants and trucks being so spread out, it was getting more challenging for them to keep tabs on so many moving parts and utilize their assets to the best of their abilities.

“The geofence and auto-status features have helped cut down on radio chatter and constant back-and-forth between the drivers and dispatch. ConcreteGO and iStrada have helped streamline our dispatch and GPS processes.” – Mandi Yurecko, General Manager at Kost Materials |
Kost Materials noted their appreciation of Sysdyne’s sales, support, and tech team members – Anytime they have needed anything they are there to help and offer solutions. The ability to get help almost instantly is beyond words. With their previous program, it would take hours to get through to support and it was a constant waiting game.

Kost Materials realizes changes are happening in the industry as far as technology is concerned, and appreciates seeing Sysdyne moving with it and adding features.
