Project Overview

Loquient developed a comprehensive migration plan to move Kansas Asphalt, Inc. (KAI) away from technologies that created business disruptions. These new integrated technology solutions needed to be scalable, reliable, flexible and cost-effective. The challenge was implementing new technologies while maintaining the existing infrastructure to ensure no downtime or loss of productivity.

KAI is an award-winning contractor that provides best-in-class asphalt paving services nationwide for retail, distribution, restaurant and convenience store companies. KAI gains competitive advantage in its industry by leveraging feature-rich technologies that give clients the ability to plan maintenance, forecast budgets, manage assets, and report progress in real-time. KAI wanted to improve its remote service capabilities by increasing the availability and reliability of its technology infrastructure.
