Proven at scale with Yanbu Cement, Mastek's solution reduces truck turnaround, eliminates weighbridge disputes, and delivers fully automated 24×7 dispatch - No manual intervention required.

With cement margins squeezed by rising energy costs, decarbonisation pressures, and freight volatility, dispatch remains a critical - and largely manual - gap in the value chain. Connected plant-to-ERP logistics is rapidly becoming the operational standard for bulk manufacturing.

Proof It Works: The Yanbu Cement Story
Major Industry Challenge

Cement Dispatch Still Running on Manual Processes

Most cement plants have invested heavily in ERP - yet dispatch, the revenue-recognition moment, still runs on paper, radios, and manual weighbridge entries. This gap between plant floor and enterprise system is where margin leaks.

In our work across cement and bulk-material producers, the same patterns recur:

  • Trucks waiting at weighbridges

  • Manual data entry causing shipment disputes

  • Incorrect silo allocation

  • No real-time visibility between plant operations and ERP

The cost is real: slower truck turns, customer disputes, idle capacity, and dispatch teams firefighting instead of optimising. Closing the gap between OT and ERP is no longer a technology project — it is a margin lever.

Intelligent Logistics Solution

Connecting the Plant Floor to the Enterprise

Leading cement producers are moving from people-driven dispatch to system-driven dispatch — where the weighbridge, silo, yard, and ERP act as one connected flow.

When OT and IT converge at the dispatch layer, plants unlock:

Real-time visibility
Automated truck processing
Improved shipment accuracy
Faster dispatch cycles

Mastek enables this through two intelligent accelerators.

Unmanned Weighbridge + IoT + ERP Integration | How Mastek Digitised Cement Dispatch End-to-End

Discover how Mastek transformed cement dispatch operations using IoT, ANPR, unmanned weighbridges & real-time ERP integration.

The cement industry moves millions of tons every year - but for decades, the journey from plant to customer ran on paper, manual queues, and guesswork. Mastek changed that.

In this video, see how Mastek's Connected Enterprise Services (CES) delivered a complete end-to-end sales digitalization solution for a leading cement manufacturer in Saudi Arabia - reimagining the entire order-to-dispatch lifecycle.

What We Built for Intelligent Manufacturing Logistics

Mastek's Smart Accelerators Turning Dispatch into a Competitive Advantage

Together, SmartBulk™ and SmartPlant Connect™ enable:


Faster truck turnaround


Zero manual weighbridge intervention


Higher dispatch throughput


Higher dispatch throughput


Real-time operational visibility


Reduced disputes and errors

Dispatch stops being a cost centre to manage and becomes a throughput lever that compounds — more tons shipped per shift, fewer disputes per thousand loads, and a step-change in customer experience at the gate.

How Mastek Enabled Zero-Touch Dispatch at Yanbu Cement (YCC)

Yanbu Cement, one of Saudi Arabia's largest producers, set out to remove manual touchpoints from dispatch as part of a broader Vision 2030 modernisation programme. With SmartBulk™ and SmartPlant Connect™ live across their operations, the results landed quickly.
