“BHP called—monthly progress meeting is tomorrow. I've got 3 projects with them and no idea which milestones we hit. Now I'm spending tonight digging through emails and timesheets trying to build a report. This happens every month.”

Common questions about DrilLedger's Client Progress KPI Portal
Perth mining suppliers typically spend 2-4 hours per client progress report — pulling data from multiple systems, formatting to client-specific templates, checking KPIs against targets, and generating budget vs actual comparisons. For suppliers with 3-5 Tier 1 clients, that's 6-20 hours per week on reporting alone.
The Client Progress Agent tracks KPIs automatically from your operational data — metres drilled, tonnes moved, hours worked, safety statistics, and budget performance. KPIs update in real time rather than being manually compiled at report time. When it's time to generate the client report, the data is already there.
Yes. Each Tier 1 client has specific reporting requirements — different KPIs, different templates, different submission frequencies. The agent is configured per client contract with the correct template, metrics, and scheduling. A BHP monthly progress report looks different from an FMG weekly update, and the system handles both.
The agent compares actual costs (labour, materials, equipment, subcontractors) against contract budgets in real time. It identifies variances early — before they become surprises at month-end — and tracks trending to forecast whether the project will finish over or under budget. This visibility is critical for variation identification.
Most suppliers manage multi-client reporting manually — separate spreadsheets, separate templates, separate data pulls for each client. The Client Progress Agent consolidates all project data in one dashboard, then generates client-specific reports automatically. Managing 5 clients feels the same as managing 1.
Perth mining suppliers with 3-5 active Tier 1 contracts save $25,000-$50,000+ per year by automating progress reporting — reduced admin hours, fewer report errors, faster submission, and improved client relationships from consistent, professional reporting that arrives on time every time.
