Product Gallery: Command Alkon Invests $20 million to Accelerate Cloud Native Applications for Agg & Asphalt Customers

Command Alkon is investing an additional $20 million to further accelerate its cloud native applications for aggregate and asphalt customers after the success of its initial 100 ready-mix cloud dispatch customers. This investment accelerates the rollout of advanced features for those customers, and the completion of the development of the company’s Aggregates and Asphalt Cloud software offerings, including Dispatch and Scale Ticketing.

Command Alkon’s Aggregates and Asphalt Cloud solutions will be available in early 2025 for implementation. These products will cover all essential functionality and seamlessly integrate with existing and future plant automation equipment, offering efficiency and integration advantages for vertically integrated businesses.

“Our aim is to simplify and unlock the advantages of a single platform for companies who produce and sell more than one material,” said Martin Willoughby, CEO at Command Alkon. “All Command Cloud products are API-first, reflecting our commitment to interfacing with third party systems and ensuring customer flexibility. We are dedicated to supporting our customers’ transformation journey, whether they utilize our full suite, or integrate with other industry tools.”

This decision represents a major milestone in Command Alkon’s commitment to transforming the way that the aggregates and asphalt markets do business through streamlined workflows and seamless connectivity across their technologies and applications.

“Scalability, flexibility and real-time data insights have become essential in today’s fast-paced business landscape,” said Ranjeev Teelock, chief product officer at Command Alkon. He spoke of extending the benefits of dynamic dashboards, APIs, machine learning algorithms, AI capabilities, and more to customers in the aggregates and asphalt markets.

Command Alkon also announced the acquisition of Marcotte Systems. This strategic acquisition includes all Marcotte’s products, brings their employees onto the Command Alkon team, and reinforces Command Alkon’s dedication to leading the ready mix/concrete, aggregates and asphalt technology industry.

“Joining forces with Command Alkon marks a significant milestone, not only for our company, but for the heavy building materials industry as a whole as it will drive the next generation of fully automated plant solutions,” said Joel Bardier, CEO of Marcotte Systems.

Marcotte Systems, renowned for its substantial investments in plant automation through the Marcotte Batch system and the AI-driven Mintelligent product, is an invaluable addition to the Command Alkon family. This acquisition will bolster the development and global reach of these products.

The Marcotte team, including CEO Joel Bardier, will join Command Alkon, ensuring continuity for customers and projects and leveraging the deep expertise of Marcotte’s employees and new technologies to enhance plant automation solutions.
