Today, ready-mix producers manage sales and production in separate systems: quotes live in Slabstack (or a spreadsheet), while what actually gets dispatched and poured lives in ConcreteGo. With no connection between the two, a VP of Sales can show a full pipeline of awarded projects while the plant quietly underdelivers against it — often 30% below quote — with no early warning.
Backlog fixes this by mapping Slabstack quote and award data directly against ConcreteGo dispatch and delivery data, creating a live forecast-vs-actual view by project, customer, plant, or region. Sales and operations get a shared number, and leadership can catch underperforming projects before they become missed revenue.
