In their ongoing efforts to bring their operations into the 21st century, Cemex UK and Cemex Germany have both turned to CheckProof’s user-friendly digital platform to improve maintenance routines, streamline reporting, and improve overall productivity. From digitizing maintenance processes to optimizing fuel usage, CheckProof has proven to be a game-changer for both teams.
Cemex UK: A game-changer for maintenance and reporting
Cemex UK, a leading building materials provider with a wide range of quarries, wharves, and production plants across the country, aimed to eliminate paperwork, reduce administrative time, and reinforce its maintenance processes. Their solution? CheckProof, an all-in-one platform offering checklists, deviation reporting and more for maintenance, quality, environment and health & safety routines.
Kevin Cage, Head of Aggregates Operations at Cemex UK, reflects on the decision to implement CheckProof: ”In short, we wanted to bring our sites into the 21st century. We chose CheckProof because it’s easy to use from an operator’s perspective.”
Before the adoption of CheckProof, deviations such as minor equipment issues would often go unaddressed for days, resulting in costly damage. Mark Gould, Finished Product Manager at Cemex UK, shares the transformation: ”A truck knocking itself out of gear could lead to thousands of pounds worth of damage. Now, defects spotted by frontline staff are addressed before they turn into major problems.”
”We’ve not yet found a problem we can’t solve with CheckProof.”
The seamless integration of CheckProof across Cemex UK’s operations has brought unprecedented benefits, according to Kevin Cage: ”We’ve not yet found a problem we can’t solve with CheckProof. It’s changed our world and brought more than we ever expected.” The platform has delivered exceptional results, and Cage is confident that it can solve problems in any industry: ”Pick an industry, pick your problem, and CheckProof will solve it.”
Cemex Germany: Savings on fuel costs & incredible production gains.
At Cemex Germany, the story is similarly one of transformation. Gina Becker, Coordinator of Project Materials Operations Services, was tasked with overseeing the digitization, process optimization, and implementation of CheckProof in their ready-mix and aggregates business.
The rollout started with Prostein quarries in north-eastern Germany, where feedback from close-knit teams guided the implementation. ”I visit every site and provide ongoing support, ensuring seamless implementation,” Becker explains.
The use of CheckProof expanded to cover production diaries, mobile equipment checks, maintenance tasks, and even tracking fuel refills, which allowed Cemex Germany to analyze fuel consumption trends and identify discrepancies.
”We increased daily output from 2,000 to 3,500 tonnes”
The impact on Cemex Germany’s operations has been profound. Previously reliant on paper-based processes, their teams now benefit from instant digital reporting, reducing delays and improving visibility. ”The platform has transformed how we manage maintenance. Deviations are recorded digitally, and tickets can be closed immediately,” says Becker.
One of the most notable outcomes has been a significant increase in daily production. ”We increased daily output from 2,000 tonnes to 3,500 tonnes— a significant improvement we initially thought was impossible,” Becker shares. This achievement was made possible by data from CheckProof, which allowed the team to optimize production settings and improve efficiency without overburdening equipment.
Shares benefits – From Efficiency to Employee Engagement
Both Cemex UK and Cemex Germany have reported improvements in key performance metrics thanks to CheckProof’s platform. Cemex UK’s unified approach has delivered continuity across their operations, while Cemex Germany has seen major increases in efficiency and productivity.
Gina Becker highlights some of the standout features of CheckProof: ”The deviation management feature is invaluable for maintenance, and the platform’s gamification elements make it engaging for workers to use.” In Cemex UK, the platform’s ease of use has led to a full adoption across operations, with no desire to return to paper-based methods.
Both companies have also benefited from enhanced collaboration across teams, improving audits, compliance, and decision-making. Furthermore, CheckProof’s alignment with sustainability goals, such as reducing CO2 emissions and enhancing operational efficiency, ensures that the platform will continue to play a vital role in their future strategies.
