How Precast Solutions Went From a Dry-Erase Board to Full Dispatch Visibility
Shane Barnhill
CEO, Precast Solutions
About Precast Solutions
Precast Solutions is a single-plant precast and ready-mix concrete operation dispatching 8 trucks and pouring 200 to 250 yards per day. Like a lot of operations their size, they built their workflow around what worked — until it didn't. When the whiteboard stopped keeping up, they started looking for something better.
The challenge
Before Dispatch360, Precast Solutions was running on a dry-erase board. No software. No GPS. Just a whiteboard, some markers, and a lot of institutional memory. For a while, it worked — but as volume grew, the cracks started showing.
Scheduling changes meant stopping everything, erasing, and starting over. There was no way to know where trucks were without picking up the phone. And when something went sideways — a late load, a missed delivery window — there was no system to fall back on. Just confusion.
They weren't looking for a massive overhaul. They were looking to save time and stop the chaos. That's exactly what brought them to Dispatch360.
“With technology now, going from pen and paper to Dispatch360 makes things seamless and efficient.”
— Shane Barnhill, CEO, Precast Solutions
The results
After switching to Dispatch360, scheduling — which is the heaviest part of their daily operation — became fast and reliable. What used to mean erasing and rewriting now takes seconds. And with GPS tracking live on every truck, dispatchers finally had the visibility they’d been missing.
The team took to it quickly. Minimal friction, no steep learning curve. Just a cleaner way to run the day.
Truck tracking went from zero visibility to near real-time GPS across the fleet.
Scheduling — their most critical daily task — is now fast, clear, and reliable.
Less time chasing information means more time actually running the operation.
The team adopted it quickly with minimal training required.
Would they recommend it?
Yes — without hesitation. For any operation still running on paper or a whiteboard, the Precast Solutions team puts it simply: the technology is there, and the switch is worth it.
