Utilization of Construction 4.0 Technologies in Small-Scale Supply Chain Management: An Approach for Enhancing Productivity

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of Construction 4.0 technologies in small-scale construction supply chain management through a web-based application. Developed using the MERN stack, the platform enhances material tracking, inventory management, order forecasting, and credit management. A 30-day trial involving small-scale contractors and suppliers demonstrated significant improvements in workflow efficiency, communication, and financial tracking. The system streamlines operations, reduces manual errors, and enhances decision-making, contributing to higher productivity and transparency. This research highlights the potential of digital transformation in small-scale construction projects and paves the way for further advancements in supply chain management.
