Variation & Claims Portal

Perth mining suppliers typically miss 10-20% of legitimate variation opportunities — work performed outside the original scope that is never claimed because the notification deadline passed, the documentation was incomplete, or nobody flagged it as a variation. For a $20M supplier, that's $50,000-$100,000+ per year in lost revenue.

Most Tier 1 mining contracts require variation notices within 7-14 days of the event. Miss the deadline, and you lose the right to claim — regardless of whether the work was legitimate. DrilLedger's Variation Agent tracks notification deadlines and alerts project managers before they expire.

The agent links variation claims to supporting evidence — site diary entries, photos, supervisor logs, client instructions, and cost records. When a variation event is identified, the system generates the formal notice in the client's required format, attaches the evidence, and tracks the claim through to resolution. No more assembling claims from scattered emails and spreadsheets.

Yes. BHP, Rio Tinto, FMG, Roy Hill, and MinRes each have different variation notification requirements, approval processes, and documentation standards. The agent is configured per client contract — correct templates, correct deadlines, correct approval chains. A variation on a BHP contract follows a different workflow than one on an FMG contract.

Every variation maintains a complete audit trail — when the event occurred, when it was identified, when the notice was submitted, client responses, supporting documents, and financial impact. This trail is timestamped and immutable, providing the evidence needed for dispute resolution or escalation.

Perth mining suppliers using the Variation Agent recover $50,000-$100,000+ per year in previously missed variation revenue — through better identification, timely notification, and comprehensive documentation. The agent pays for itself with a single recovered variation claim.
