The Thiess Group is committed to providing transparent and trusted governance. Operating across many sites in Australia and overseas, Thiess employs in excess of 5,000 field-based workers in Australia alone. A critical aspect of our business is ensuring transparent governance and consistency in our established core processes.

Upon identifying inefficiencies and risks associated with paper-based processes, Thiess explored options to connect frontline workers to core head office systems through enterprise mobility. The anticipated outcomes of this initiative included enhanced workforce safety, improved quality of execution, and increased efficiency.

Key considerations included:

• Software Development vs. Partnership: We weighed the potential of internally developing and maintaining software against partnering with an established, field-proven solution.
• Offline Capability: Given the limited connectivity at many sites, offline operation was a major requirement.
• Safety Insights: Enhancing insights from safety protocols, such as Safety Take 5s, was essential.
• Getting to a field based trial early

This presentation will delve into our journey with enterprise mobility, partnering with Obzervr, highlighting the benefits realised in safety, risk management, and maintenance efficiency for our field workers and clients.
