01The Challenge

What was holding the business back online

Prospects couldn't estimate a pour or cost without calling — every question started with a phone call that many never made.

Phone-based quotes were inconsistent and easily lost — numbers lived on sticky notes and in memory, not in a system.

Inquiries weren't separated into sales vs. dispatch — everything landed in one mixed inbox and got tangled.

No after-hours coverage — leads that came in nights and weekends went cold before anyone could respond.

Reviews weren't requested systematically — happy customers came and went without ever being asked.

No dashboard to track review outreach status — no one knew who had been asked or who still needed a follow-up.

The company's scale and 75-year track record were under-communicated online — the website undersold the business.

02Our Solution

The platform we built

We built an instant concrete calculator with project-type presets — enter length × width × depth and get cubic yards in seconds, no phone call required.

The calculator returns an automatic PSI mix recommendation with indicative pricing, so visitors understand what they need and what it costs up front.

A one-click “Request Official Quote” button turns any estimate into a saved, structured record — nothing gets lost on a sticky note again.

A 24/7 AI site assistant answers concrete and service questions and captures interested visitors' contact details around the clock.

Incoming inquiries are automatically routed to sales or dispatch with email notifications, so the right team sees the right lead immediately.

A reputation-management dashboard lets the team send and track Google review requests — with clear sent / reviewed / pending status.

A fast, mobile-first 8-page site with a multi-location map and a 30-photo portfolio finally communicates the company's scale and 75-year credibility.

03Key Features

Everything a brochure site can't do

Instant Concrete Calculator

Project-type presets turn length × width × depth into cubic yards instantly, with automatic rounding so customers order the right amount.

PSI Mix Recommendation Engine

Recommends the right PSI mix for the job and shows indicative pricing, so visitors understand both spec and cost before they ever call.

Structured Quote Capture

One-click “Request Official Quote” saves every estimate as a structured record — no more lost numbers or inconsistent phone quotes.

24/7 AI Site Assistant

A language-model-powered assistant answers concrete and service questions, helps with calculations, and captures leads around the clock.

Sales / Dispatch Routing

Inquiries are automatically separated and routed to the right team — sales leads and dispatch requests no longer collide in one inbox.

Email Notifications

The right people are alerted the moment a qualified lead or quote request comes in, so nothing waits and nothing goes cold.

Reputation Dashboard

Send and track Google review requests with sent / reviewed / pending status, integrated with the Google Business Profile.

Multi-Location Map

An embedded map shows all plant locations and the full service area — built without a paid map API key.

30-Photo Portfolio Gallery

A 30-photo project gallery with lightbox showcases real pours and finished work, communicating scale and craftsmanship.

Fully Responsive Design

A fast, mobile-first 8-page site that looks and performs beautifully on every device — where most contractors actually browse.

04The AI Layer

An honest front-line helper — not autopilot

Genuine Language-Model Chat Assistant

A real LLM-powered assistant answers concrete and service questions in plain language, available 24/7 on every page of the site.

Calculation & Quote Help

The assistant helps visitors work through calculations and quote requests conversationally, guiding them toward a structured, saved estimate.

Around-the-Clock Lead Capture

It captures interested visitors' contact details day and night — turning after-hours traffic that used to go cold into qualified, saved leads.

An Honest Front-Line Helper — Not Autopilot

The assistant does not autonomously price jobs, dispatch trucks, or make commitments. Final quotes and scheduling stay with the team — it's a helper and lead-capture tool, not a decision-maker.

saved vs. agency + chatbot + reviews SaaS

Southern Ready Mix received an agency-grade lead-generation and operations platform — comparable to roughly $13,500 at retail — for a $4,000 all-in investment (~140 hours of custom development). One platform delivers a self-service quoting funnel, a 24/7 AI site assistant, and a reputation-management back office, replacing what would normally require a separate web agency, a chatbot vendor, and a reviews SaaS subscription.

08Who This System Is For

Built for service-area materials & trade businesses

Ready-mix concrete suppliers and material/aggregate yards that field inbound quote requests and want to capture them automatically.

Regional, service-area construction-materials businesses that need leads routed to the right team without manual sorting.

Contractors and trade businesses that want 24/7 lead capture without adding after-hours staff.

Service-area companies that need to grow their online reputation systematically instead of by chance.

Established suppliers whose scale and track record deserve to be communicated far better online.
