Top Cloud-Based Construction Software Provider 2025
Backed by nearly 50 years of industry expertise, Command Alkon is redefining its legacy with Command Cloud—a fully cloud-native platform built to power the next generation of connected, agile operations. Designed from the ground up, it unifies production, dispatch, logistics, sales operations, order management, and delivery tracking while automating payment processes for producers and suppliers of ready-mix concrete, concrete products, asphalt, and aggregates. The goal is to deliver a seamless experience that meets the speed, scale, and expectations of modern materials businesses.
Many on-premise systems place the burden on customers to manage uptime, network issues, hardware, and IT support. Smaller producers without dedicated IT staff face additional challenges.
Under CEO Martin Willoughby, Command Alkon’s Command 3.0 vision drives a full-scale transformation from legacy systems to flexible, cloud-based solutions that readily adapt to new technologies and applications. The strategy is not to simply migrate existing systems into the cloud, but to reimagine how work gets done.
“We didn’t just want to lift and shift; we wanted to build something for the next generation of workforce,” says Jeff Newlin, Chief Revenue Officer at Command Alkon.
Building for the Future Workforce
To deliver on this vision, the company focuses on multiple value streams and modernizes heavy building materials operations in the development of the Command Cloud platform. Modern interfaces and mobile accessibility reshape daily operations and address workforce expectations. Many organizations face challenges attracting and retaining employees, as outdated software creates a frustrating and inefficient work environment that no longer matches evolving industry needs.
By adopting a new, mobile-friendly platform, Command Alkon offers employees the flexibility to work from anywhere, at any time. The company’s easy-to-navigate and user-friendly UX is designed by experts who work directly with customers. Real-time dashboards and KPI tracking give teams instant visibility and better control. The unified platform centralizes data management, standardizes workflows, and ensures instant updates at every process stage.
Strategic Partnerships and Real-World Impact
Command Cloud’s first phase rolled out through the company’s Connected Partner Program, supporting integrations with external systems and hardware partners. These integrations enhance system architecture to meet the rapidly changing business needs of the materials industry.
Heidelberg Materials, a long-time client of Command Alkon, is one of the early adopters of this transformation—migrating from legacy systems to a cloud-based model. With roughly 15–20 percent of its sites already live, Heidelberg is gaining a unified, real-time view of operations that drives smarter decision-making and tighter financial control. The full rollout is expected by fall, and integration of Command Cloud for their aggregate and asphalt operations is already underway.
Globally, starting with North America and progressing through Latin America, Western Europe, and Asia-Pacific, Alkon aims to expand this model. Each implementation strengthens security, scalability, and product reliability while providing regionally aligned capabilities.
Security, Compliance, and Customer Confidence
The platform uses multi-factor authentication and other advanced safeguards to ensure secure system access. By aligning with NIST frameworks and maintaining SOC 2 Type 2 certification, Command Alkon invests heavily in data security and compliance. With a full-time CISO and security governance team, the company ensures robust protection across all touchpoints.
Empowering Industry Transformation
Beyond innovation, customers seek assurance that their technology investments will thrive for the long haul. Command Alkon’s evolution from stability builder to industry transformer helps eliminate long-term barriers of outdated systems and inconsistent user experiences.
By bringing its partners and customers together, Command Alkon is shaping the future of heavy materials management—delivering powerful, integrated, and scalable solutions through Command Cloud that redefine what construction software can deliver.
