“I spend 2 hours every week copying timesheet data into Word docs for client reports. Each client wants a different format—BHP wants tables, Roy Hill wants charts. Last month I sent BHP a report with Rio Tinto's header. That's the kind of mistake that damages relationships.”

Common questions about DrilLedger's AI Document Control Agent
Manual client report generation for BHP, Rio Tinto, or FMG typically takes 1.5-2 hours per report — pulling data from multiple sources, formatting to client-specific templates, checking headers and revision numbers. DrilLedger's Document Control Agent generates the same report in under 30 seconds with zero formatting errors.
The Document Control Agent stores approved templates for each Tier 1 client — BHP, Rio Tinto, FMG, Roy Hill, MinRes. When generating a report, it automatically applies the correct logo, header format, numbering convention, and distribution list. No more accidentally sending a BHP report with an FMG header.
Yes. The agent supports batch generation — select multiple projects or clients and generate all reports in one action. Each report uses the correct client template, includes project-specific data, and follows the right numbering sequence. Weekly reporting for 4-5 Tier 1 clients drops from a full day to under 30 minutes.
Every document revision is tracked automatically with full audit trail — who changed what, when, and why. The agent maintains revision numbering sequences per document type and client, flags when documents are overdue for review, and ensures only the current revision is accessible. No more searching shared drives for the latest version.
The agent handles all standard mining contractor documents: progress reports, daily reports, safety reports, transmittals, inspection reports, test certificates, RFIs, and compliance documentation. Templates are configured to match each Tier 1 client's specific requirements.
Perth mining suppliers generating 5+ client reports weekly typically spend $18,000-$21,000 per year on document control admin — formatting, template management, revision tracking, and transmittal logging. This excludes the cost of errors: wrong headers, missed revisions, and rework that damages client relationships.
