Three regions
Komatsu Mining Corp. Australia is the Australian division of global heavy equipment manufacturer Komatsu Ltd. — providing machinery, technology, and support services to construction, mining, energy, government, and quarry industries across the country.
The challenge
Before GO! Site Ready, Komatsu’s compliance processes were fragmented and dangerously fragile.
Critical information lived across scattered spreadsheets, email inboxes, and — most problematically — individual memory. When the person managing the system left, institutional knowledge left with them. Staff couldn’t locate required client portals, couldn’t find where documentation was stored, couldn’t track expiration dates they weren’t aware existed.
The consequences were immediate and operational. Teams were turned away at gates because certifications had lapsed. Managers couldn’t understand why projects couldn’t commence. The organisation was constantly reactive — chasing paperwork rather than getting ahead of it.
The system worked until it didn’t. And when it didn’t, it really didn’t.
The solution
GO! Site Ready consolidated everything — credentials, certifications, medicals, inductions, supporting documents — into a single platform. Every worker got a unified profile. Every credential got an expiry date and an owner.
The system’s alerting changed how the team operated. Quarterly reports created visibility into upcoming compliance needs. Alerts notified workers before certifications expired — giving enough runway to act rather than scramble.
The shift wasn’t just technical. It was operational: from manual and scattered to automated and predictable.
The results
The key-person risk dissolved. The knowledge that previously lived in one person’s head now lives in the system — accessible to anyone with appropriate access, at any time, from any device. Three regions now report that inductions have become routine rather than a recurring problem.
- 7 hours returned per week — time previously spent on compliance chasing and administration
- 99.7% reduction in gate turnarounds — over a six-month period, only one turnaround occurred, attributed to user error
- 100% company visibility — every person, every credential, every site requirement visible in one place
I don’t worry about gate access anymore — GO! Site Ready keeps us ahead, so the work starts on time.
What changed day to day
Documentation now routes directly to the correct worker profile — no more attachments going to an email inbox and staying there. Expiry dates become visible before they’re a problem, not after.
The operational cadence shifted. Instead of spending the beginning of each week chasing paperwork for that week’s mobilisations, the team is working on the ones two weeks away. The difference is composure.
Nikki anticipated recovering an additional four to five hours weekly once the alerting and reporting system was fully deployed — on top of the seven already recovered.
Tina is always approachable — even if I ask the same question multiple times. That support makes the whole thing work.
