Quotation:
“As a vertically integrated civil construction company with wholly owned subsidiaries, the continued growth and success of the business was at risk from a reliance upon outdated internal software systems and paper-based processes that were no longer fit for purpose. Zampa was recommended and engaged by the organisation during the initial search for a solution to future proof the business”.
Civil Construction Company’s Business Challenges
This civil construction company is comprised of several wholly owned subsidiaries with centralised head office support for corporate governance, human resource management, health safety and environment oversight, vendor and contractor management and payroll services. Each individual operating entity needs to satisfy and support a range of WHS & E, Duty of Care, FSC and Chain of Responsibility legislative requirements.
Business challenges that needed to be addressed included:
- A reliance upon manual and paper-based processes to manage corporate, project and workforce or contractor onboarding, inductions and project mobilisation.
- Ongoing management, oversight and verification of workforce accreditation, competencies and training records.
- Transitioning from paper-based management systems and processes to better support and comply with ISO standards, CoR legislation and FSC audit criteria.
- Identifying and matching the appropriate workforce resources, expertise, and capabilities with organisation-wide projects.
