About The Customer
Aussie Excavators Plant Hire is a family-owned business operating in the earthmoving industry. They have been serving the Brisbane and South East Queensland region for over three decades. Their commitment to exceptional customer service, reliability, flexibility, and safety has helped them stand out in a competitive market. To ensure their continued success and future-proof their operations, the company recognized the need to integrate technology into their processes. The company was looking for a comprehensive digital solution that could streamline their allocation, compliance management, and safety processes.
The Challenge
Aussie Excavators Plant Hire, a family-owned business in the earthmoving industry, was facing operational inefficiencies due to outdated technology and manual processes. The company was using a server-based allocating software that was becoming inefficient and limited in its capabilities. Communication was primarily reliant on calls and texts, while essential safety forms and timesheets were paper-based. The office was inundated with physical paperwork, making information management challenging. Additionally, compliance management, involving safety documentation and competencies, was a manual and paper-driven process. The need for a more flexible, efficient, and modern solution led them to explore cloud-based options.
The Solution
Aussie Excavators Plant Hire identified Assignar as the ideal solution to address their challenges and enhance their operations. Assignar offered features such as digital timesheets and forms, compliance management, asset management, and real-time allocations. The cloud-based nature of Assignar allowed the team to access critical jobsite information on-the-go, eliminating the need for office-bound updates. Assignar facilitated the company’s transition to a paperless environment by centralizing all safety documentation, including licenses, tickets, and verification of competency (VOC) records. The platform’s mobile app enabled operators to access their competencies, safety forms, maintenance history, and plant risk assessments conveniently. To ensure compliance, safety forms became compulsory upon timesheet submission, resulting in real-time data availability. Assignar’s mobile capabilities transformed the allocation process, allowing allocators to access live scheduling data anytime, anywhere.
