Sakrete launches new site and app upgrades
Concrete brand Sakrete, celebrating its 85th anniversary this year, has launched a new website designed specifically for the concrete pro.
The new site includes a clean, modern design, simplified navigation, helpful tools, and enhanced educational content.
“We know that pros are super busy, so our number one goal with the new site is speed,” said Dave Jackson, senior brand manager for Sakrete. “We’ve streamlined navigation and our communication strategy for every piece of information pros need. Less searching, less reading, more pro-grade information – all wrapped in completely updated Sakrete branding.”
The site includes:
- One-click access to the most important tools & resources;
- Improved product organization, now grouped by category: concrete work, masonry work and repairs;
- Upgraded concrete calculators for every project type;
- A library of Project Pro Tips videos and articles;
- Enhanced dealer locator and “Buy Online” functionality with select retailers;
- Coming Soon: Ability to chat with the 866-SAKRETE team in real-time.
Sakrete has also upgraded its industry-exclusive mobile estimating app to help pros tackle more projects than ever before.
Designed around a phone’s Augmented Reality (AR) capabilities, the Sakrete App allows the user measure, estimate, find and buy the right product – in the right amount – straight from the phone.
The upgraded app adds Spanish language and metric measurement units, several new products, enhanced product recommendation algorithms and an all-new “Repairs” category to the existing slab pour and post-setting capabilities. These new features make it easier than ever to ditch the tape measure and switch to the Sakrete App..
Sakrete, part of Oldcastle APG, a CRH company, invented the original bagged concrete mix in 1936 and is a leader in bagged concrete materials.
