FiveCubits

In the world of heavy construction, managing the moving parts of a supply chain is a complex dance. FiveCubits, a Chicago-based technology company, stepped onto this stage with a clear mission: to synchronize the moving parts for contractors, suppliers, and haulers. The company developed a suite of web-based, SaaS products to bring efficiency to the bulk materials industry through software. Their products, like TrackIt and HaulIt, offered solutions for fleet management, mobile computing, and logistics. Using GPS technology, their software provided tools to maximize productivity and offer crucial proof-of-delivery information. The core of their business was connecting buyers, haulers, and suppliers on a single platform, creating a unified source of data for quoting, dispatching, and billing. A significant chapter in the FiveCubits story was written on August 11, 2014. On this day, the company was acquired by Command Alkon, a major software firm in the construction industry. This acquisition was a strategic move for Command Alkon, allowing it to integrate FiveCubits' logistics and fleet management expertise into its own offerings. The combination aimed to create a more comprehensive, integrated supply chain platform for the heavy construction market, ultimately benefiting customers with streamlined, real-time collaboration tools.
