BetoSys consists of

a number of separate software modules that tap into

a shared master database. Time-consuming multiple

input of data is now a thing of the past.

BetoSys comes with a wealth of functions for the

comprehensive management of autonomous compa-

nies within a corporate group, or independent organi-

sational units in a single system installation.

All modules are multi-client capable.

BetoSys is clever BetoSys assists you in

all aspects of ready-mix concrete production and

delivery.

BetoSys off ers tools for:

► Management of prospective clients, tenders and building projects

► Management of clients, construction sites, suppliers and products

► Order management ► Fleet management ► Plant management and monitoring ► Raw material testing and management

BetoSys is versatile

To ensure smooth in-

stallation and commissioning, we offer you a range of

services from advice and training to start-up support.

On request, DSA acts as a project manager for your

complex IT projects. The modular concept behind

BetoSys allows for flexible adjustment of the solution

to suit companies of any size and structure.

We want to work together with you to develop

powerful and efficient solutions. Our benchmark is

your satisfaction and the acceptance of the system

by your staff.

BetoSys is more As no business is like

the next, BetoSys can be adapted to suit your needs.

Do you miss a function? Would you like to change

the layout of a form? On request, we customise each

module to your requirements.

Rather than running fi les on multiple work-

stations and terminals, the centralised archive

can be managed by a small number of dedicated

administrators.

Customised interfaces guarantee seamless

integration of BetoSys into existing system

environments.

All master data of

BetoSys is managed in a single SQL database. This

facilitates both system maintenance and sharing the

information across the company.

BetoSys is modern

Integrated solutions for the concrete and construction material industries


All BetoSys modules

work hand in hand for optimised effi ciency. If you

wish to use only certain functions and features of

BetoSys, we will customise the modules accordingly.

For the integration of the solution into your existing

system environment, we use existing interfaces.

This makes it possible to operate individual modules

as stand-alone applications, or in conjunction with

third-party solutions.

After you have won the contract, all price agreements

at customer and construction site level can be man-

aged in BetoVis. An overview of existing contracts

can be generated with a few mouse clicks. You thus

have pricing details, forecasts and delivery schedules

at your fi ngertips.

BetoVis thereby uses the net and list prices stored

in your system and supports absolute and percent-

age discounts. Where applicable, plant and area

discounts as well as daily prices can be stored and

used in the relevant calculations.

With BetoVis, you acquire a powerful sales tool for

effi cient customer relationship management, cus-

tomer acquisition and tendering as well as order

confi rmation.

BetoVis has been specially devised to manage

large-scale or long-term projects where meticulous

planning is a must.

Have you been approached by a potential customer?

Or have you become aware of a construction project

that you would like to become involved in?

With BetoVis, you have the option to enter all relevant

data in a database of potential clients and projects

for follow-up. As the details become clearer, you can

update the information and time schedules.

Use BetonPlan to plan your transport and mixing

capacities and to confi rm deliveries. The user-friendly

program caters for large-scale projects as well as for

small collection orders.

Scheduling and planning can be done centrally or

separately at the individual plants.

Thanks to the centralised database, all key infor-

mation is accessible when and where you need it

to respond quickly to customer demands. You can

thus off er a better service while saving money.

This is where BetonPlan comes into play.

Orders for small projects and collection orders can be

entered directly in the BetonPlan order management

system. Customers can place orders by phone, in

writing or via the internet.

All order details entered in BetonPlan are available in

the other BetoSys modules. The data from dockets

accompanying incoming deliveries for cement, fl y

ash, sand, gravel and additives is entered and for-

warded to fi nancial accounting, so that the necessary

commodities are managed automatically based on

stock levels and demand.

BetonPlan enables you to optimise the deployment

of your vehicles, to minimise downtimes and to

meet agreed delivery times. The turnaround times of

vehicles, including loading delays, driving times to

and from the point of delivery, exact unloading times

and potential queueing times are calculated and

logged with great accuracy. The logistics data can be

visualised at a push of a button.

If your vehicles are equipped with telemetric units,

the shipping data can be sent directly to the driver,

while the GPS location of the vehicle is transmitted

to head offi ce and shown on a map.

The automatic dosing and production system BetoCon

enables you to control your concrete production

processes. All relevant information is available at

a glance.

Intuitive icons and a well-designed interface were

among the key requirements for this module.

Thanks to extensive fi eld tests and user feedback,

we have been able to optimise the program inter-

face to make it even more user-friendly. Controls for

the most common tasks are displayed the moment

the program starts. All menu options are easily

accessible and a few mouse-clicks are enough to call

up the information you need. With BetoCon, you can

boost your productivity while resting assured that all

product standards are met.

BetoCon receives the data required for production

from the BetonPlan planning module, which also

generates the relevant delivery docket. Everything

happens automatically so that the concrete mixing

technician on site only needs to monitor the produc-

tion run.

With BetoCon, you are also equipped for emergen-

cies: Should data communication fail, BetoCon simply

compiles a contingency production program.

BetoTrack keeps track of your fl eet. BetoTrack is a

state-of-the art software solution for the

logistics sector, combining the advanced features and

functionalities of our communications and diagnostic

solutions.

The full version of the module consists of three

elements. At the module’s core, we have a telemetric

unit installed in the vehicle. It tracks the movements

and state of the vehicle and might be combined with

an optional car PC. You can access the live tracking

data through the BetoTrack web portal, which also

provides tools and screens for driver rostering and

general fl eet management.

If the vehicle is equipped with an optional car

PC, the job details (including GPS coordinates,

contact details, etc.) can be sent straight to the car

PC, so that the driver has access to the latest data.

The BetoTrack web portal can be accessed from all

current terminal devices (PC, laptop, smartphone).

The module comes with interfaces for the integration

of existing planning systems, thus supporting fully

digitised order management.

BetoLab has been developed specifi cally for internal

and external inspections in concrete testing labs.

Apart from recording all quality-relevant data,

BetoLab evaluates the formulations, with due regard

to limits defi ned in the applicable quality standards

and guidelines.

By devising grade lists for individual construction

sites, all formulations for a project can be saved

under a single name. Concrete formulations can

thus be called up and reproduced with a simple

mouse-click.

New formulations are however only distributed

to other programs after they have been formally

released.

BetoLab also assists you in monitoring the cycles for

the production of test specimens.
