Daniel Avard, Crane/Rigging Manager, CSI
Due to the rapid growth in our business within the mining sector over a short period of time there was a need for a web based data base. That data base would incorporate the daily running requirements of our equipment as well as more technical information that could be used from service personnel on remote sites right through to Managers based in Perth. After contacting several data base designers within Perth the decision was made to contract One IT to develop a comprehensive system to link all key elements together and generate reports that was user friendly and would allow data to be entered easily and efficiently and still capture all relevant information. Personnel on site had a brief run through on how to use the system and were able to navigate around to source the information they required. In the maintenance section of the data base were site personnel are required to fill out hours, Km's and faults less than five minutes training was needed. To enter hours on ten cranes only took five minutes using a good internet connection.

The challenge
With the mining boom increasing demand for Crushing Services International (CSI), there was a pressing need for a web-based database that could grow with the business. At that time, there was no system to easily record and track the daily usage, location, and availability of vehicles and machinery.
The solution
When we met up for the first meeting session, CSI were specific with their system requirements and that they were under time restraints to develop their online database asset management system. After studying their requirements, OneIT developed and launched a powerful web based system within two months, which was an excellent fit to their growing business needs. The new user friendly solution fulfills their requirement by enabling them to track their projects and asset details accurately.
The benefits
Day-to-day improvements
During training, it took less than five minutes for site staff to learn how to record their hours, kilometres and faults in the maintenance area of the database. Now, it takes just five minutes on average to enter all the hours for ten cranes.
Business benefits
Managers in Perth can easily locate any crane and immediately see when they are available. On the ground in remote WA, it has brought about significant improvements in asset usage, maintenance, training, and health & safety.
