Software for crews that work in the heat and the dust

I was a boilermaker and then a maintenance supervisor at an iron-ore port before I built software. I know what a prestart looks like at 5am and why the shutdown schedule lives in one person's head. I build the systems I wished I had: prestarts and permits on a phone, maintenance planning that survives a roster change, and workshop quoting that shows the margin before the job goes out.
The problem

Whatusuallybreaksfirst

  • Prestarts and permits on paper, photographed and filed late
  • Maintenance planning in a spreadsheet that one person understands
  • Shutdown schedules rebuilt from scratch every time
  • Workshop quotes that take days and hide the margin
What I build

WhatIbuildforminingandindustrial

Prestarts and permits

Daily prestarts, take-fives and permits completed on a phone, signed, time-stamped and stored against the plant and the person.

Maintenance planning

Work orders, service intervals and KPI reporting that supervisors can actually use on the floor.

Shutdown planning

Scope, crew, parts and timing in one plan that everyone sees, with changes tracked rather than re-sent.

Workshop quoting and jobs

Quotes from saved assemblies with live margin, through to job tracking and invoicing in Xero.
