“I spend every second Friday doing timesheet admin. Grid gives me Excel, I calculate penalties manually, then enter everything into Xero line by line. It's 8 hours of my life, every fortnight.”

— Perth drilling contractor, $22M revenue, 75 workers

$500K+ in Automation for Perth Mining Suppliers

15 AI agents. Timesheets, invoices, compliance, expenses, client reports, quotes, FIFO bookings—pick the ones you need. Start this week.

What Perth Mining Suppliers Deal With

If these sound familiar, we can fix them this week.

8 hrs

Labour hire timesheets taking 8 hours every fortnight

Timesheet tool exports to Excel with no Xero integration. Manually compare spreadsheets against client records, check discrepancies, correct errors, create expense reports, then manually enter everything into Xero. Repeat every fortnight.

→ Integrated Timesheet Portal
12 hrs

FIFO travel bookings pulling engineers from site work

Book flights and accommodation for mine site rotations. Chase missing receipts. Process travel claims through Concur. Your $180/hour PMs doing $35/hour admin.

→ FIFO Mobilisation Assistant
6 hrs

Weekly client reports stressing admin staff

Chase updates from field PMs by Thursday. Compile drill logs, photos, site progress. Format to template. Deliver Friday COB. Every single week.

→ Document Control Agent

Why Current Solutions Don't Work

Traditional Hiring

  • Position open 4 months while engineers do expense reports
  • $95K salary plus super plus $20K recruitment fee
  • They quit after 14 months, take workflow knowledge with them
  • 4 months training next person who also quits

Generic Software

  • Bought software 18 months ago. $50K investment. Nobody uses it
  • Everyone back to spreadsheets and email within 3 months
  • Still need to hire admin to actually use the software
  • Admin work still taking same amount of time

Offshore VAs / BPO

  • Email Friday afternoon. Response Tuesday morning (Manila time)
  • Can't give access to banking or client systems
  • Expense report errors need local staff to fix anyway
  • $30K/year but quality issues cost more to fix

AI Consultancies

  • $80K for PowerPoint deck. Zero expense reports processed
  • Won't build timesheet portals that integrate with Xero
  • Hand you roadmap, say “implementation is your problem”
  • Engineers still doing admin 6 months later

The market forces you to choose: hiring humans (help now, expensive and temporary) OR buying software (cheaper eventually, but implementation hell). Both are broken.

How This Works

Handle admin this week using deployed AI agents → Customise to your workflows over 3 months → Fully automated

1. Start This Week

Process timesheet data, compare client records, check discrepancies, create expense reports, enter Xero. Book FIFO flights, deliver client reports Friday COB. Working in your current systems.

  • Expense reports
  • Travel booking
  • FIFO logistics coordination
  • Document formatting
  • Client reporting

2. Learn How You Actually Work

Doing the work reveals your actual process—which timesheet fields compare to client records, how you flag discrepancies, which corrections trigger Xero updates, how you format drill logs for each client.

  • Mine site documentation formats
  • Client reporting requirements
  • Compliance protocols
  • FIFO rostering processes
  • Supplier management

3. Deploy Customised AI Agents

Document Control Agent already generating reports in 30 seconds for Perth mining suppliers. Integrated Timesheet Portal syncing to Xero today—no Excel exports. We customise these deployed AI agents to your specific labour hire companies, client templates, and FIFO routes.

  • Weekly reports: 8 hours → 30 seconds (Document Control Agent)
  • Timesheet processing: 8 hours/fortnight → 30 minutes (Integrated Portal)
  • FIFO compliance: AI-powered suggestions (FIFO Mobilisation Assistant)
  • Fully automated by month 3
  • See live demos →

Why Every Other Solution Fails

Staffing Agencies

Can't build automation — it threatens their labour margin model

Software Companies

Won't do the work — doesn't scale, destroys their margins

BPO Firms

Can't automate — profit from labour arbitrage, automation reduces their spread

AI Consultancies

Won't do admin — sell advice, not operational delivery

This works because we do both:
handle admin this week+build automation for next year

Engagement Timeline & ROI

Week 1

Immediate Relief

Your $180/hr PM stops doing admin today. We handle timesheets, FIFO bookings, expense reports immediately. No training, no handover docs—just forward the work.

Value: 15-20 hours/week back on billable work = $2,500-$3,000/week

Month 1-2

First Agents Deployed

Document Control Agent generating BHP/Rio/FMG reports in 30 seconds. Timesheet Portal syncing to Xero—no more Excel exports. FIFO Mobilisation handling compliance checks automatically.

Cumulative ROI: $15K-$25K in time savings + prevented errors

Month 3

Core Automation Complete

All 15 agents customised to your templates, your clients, your processes. Admin that took 8 hours now takes 20 minutes. Site rejections eliminated. Compliance alerts automatic.

Cumulative ROI: $125K-$200K (varies by agent selection)

Month 6+

Scale Without Hiring

Take the new Roy Hill contract without hiring admin. Add 3 more sites—same admin cost. AI handles edge cases: disputed hours, complex variations, client format changes.

Annual ROI: $500K-$800K+ in admin costs avoided + revenue protected

The Alternative

What You're Losing Now

Keep paying $180/hr PMs to chase timesheets. Keep hiring admin who leave in 6 months. Keep scrambling before every client audit. Keep losing variations because nobody tracked the 24-hour notice window.
