Command Alkon Leadership Talks AI, Cloud, and the Future of the Industry
We’re excited to share the latest episode of the Said in Stone podcast, hosted by Ozinga CEO Marty Ozinga. In this episode, Marty sits down with Command Alkon CEO, Martin Willoughby, and Chief Product Officer, Ranjeev Teelock, for a wide-ranging discussion about the future of technology in the heavy building materials industry.
As we approach our 50th anniversary, we are navigating one of the most significant shifts in its history. With our recent acquisitions of Marcotte and Digital Fleet, we’re accelerating innovation across the industry while staying true to our mission of customer service and trust.
Highlights from the conversation:
- Cloud & AI Transformation: We’re guiding the industry through a generational technology shift, moving from on-premise systems to Command Cloud — an open, secure platform that connects ready mix, aggregates, asphalt, and more. Hundreds of customers are already live, and momentum is building as more producers embrace the benefits.
- AI-First Vision: Our philosophy is to design products where AI is the first experience, not an add-on. From Batch AI that optimizes production to omnichannel tools that simplify workflows, we’re helping teams work smarter. In fact, our own developers see 30–50% productivity gains using AI in their own operations, so we realize the benefits of tools like these first hand.
- Global Growth: With customers in more than 80 countries, we’re building Command Cloud to be the global platform for heavy building materials, supporting producers at scale wherever they operate.
- Leadership Insights: Martin and Ranjeev emphasize a leadership approach rooted in transparency, trust, and accountability — starting with leading yourself well so you can lead others effectively.
- Building Trust in Technology: Whether it’s phased migrations to Command Cloud or our strict approach to data privacy and security, we’re committed to delivering transformation that is seamless, reliable, and always customer-focused.
