Fleet Management Software for Mining and Resources
Mining and quarry work is the hardest test a fleet system will face. The machines are expensive and abused, the environment destroys hardware that was not built for it, the sites run on contractors who have to be compliant before they reach the gate, and every hour of unplanned downtime is measured in production. TFO Software is fleet management software built around those conditions, with rugged tracking hardware designed and assembled in Australia, maintenance scheduled off real engine hours, digital pre-starts and inductions, and one asset register underneath the lot.
Most fleet software was never built for this environment
The tracker that works fine on a delivery van is the same tracker that fails in a month on a piece of plant living in dirt, vibration and heat. The maintenance module that counts kilometres cannot schedule a machine that does not travel. The compliance tool that assumes a permanent workforce cannot handle a contractor roster that changes every swing. Most platforms cover mining by listing it as an industry rather than by changing anything about how they work, and the gap shows up as re-fitted devices, missed services and inductions being done at the gate.
Hardware built for plant, not adapted to it
TFO Software’s Plant and Equipment tracker is designed and assembled in Australia and has proven itself across fleets worldwide, on everything from typical construction equipment through to mining and even dredging, made for durability and easy fitting. Non-powered and exposed assets such as trailers, water carts and site containers take a rugged, waterproof battery tracker rather than being left off the register. Every device runs on the 4G-LTE network, with a WiFi Tracker available that connects over WiFi and falls back to the 4G-LTE network. Every device is backed by a 24-month warranty.
Cameras configured for BMA requirements
In-vehicle cameras help operators meet industry regulations while improving driver safety and accountability, and TFO Software’s cameras are compliant with BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance requirements and can be configured to capture both the road and the driver. For a contractor working to a major resources client’s standard, that is a specific requirement rather than a general safety ambition, and the cameras pair with any powered tracker so the vision sits alongside the location, behaviour and utilisation data already coming off the asset.
Contractors site-ready before they arrive
A resources site runs on people who do not work for you. FleetSafety delivers inductions, policies and safety content digitally before the worker arrives, so they turn up already inducted rather than losing half a shift at the gate. Inductions can be configured per company, site or position, with questionnaires to confirm retention, and every licence, ticket, certification and permit is monitored with alerts to administrators before it expires. You can filter the workforce by licence or site to see who is actually cleared for the work.
Pre-starts, defects and the plant duty behind them
Pre-start checks and inspections are completed on a phone from the field, with photos attached and time-stamped records stored against the specific asset forever. Faults and defects raised by an operator reach the office as they are logged. Under WHS law, plant must be maintained and regularly inspected, and this is the mechanism that produces the evidence: an inspection trail linked to the machine, not a folder of paper that has to be found before it can be shown.
Servicing counted down on engine hours
An excavator, a crusher feed loader and a haul truck do not wear at a rate a calendar understands. FleetMaint sets the service interval per asset and counts it down on live utilisation, and when tracking is connected the hours triggering the reminder come straight off the machine telematics rather than off an operator’s estimate. Work orders record parts and labour, and every asset carries a full maintenance history. A missed service is cheap. The unplanned failure it leads to, on a site where the replacement machine is hours away, is not.
Fuel, idle and the off-road claim
Diesel on a resources operation is enormous and almost entirely off-road, which makes it both the biggest cost and the biggest fuel tax credits claim. Fuel Logging ties every litre to an asset, logged by card, bowser or manual entry, and shows working, idling and inactive time per machine, so the loader burning twenty percent more than its twin becomes visible instead of averaging out across the site. The on-road and off-road split behind the claim comes from recorded usage rather than a percentage nobody has revisited.
Australian built, supported by the people who wrote it
TFO Software is developed in-house in Mooloolaba, Queensland. Every line of code is written by its own team, hardware is supplied and supported by the same business rather than resold, and when you call you get someone who knows your setup. The platform is modular, so you run the programs the operation needs and add the rest as you go, on a subscription with no lock-in and support included for its full life. You can put it on your own plant with a 14-day free trial before committing. The same platform runs across the other industries we serve, including civil construction, haulage and transport, and plant and equipment hire.
Frequently Asked Questions
Still Got questions?
Will the tracking hardware survive a mine or quarry site?
The Plant and Equipment tracker is designed and assembled in Australia for durability and easy fitting, and has been used from typical construction equipment through to mining and dredging. Non-powered and exposed assets are covered by a rugged, waterproof battery tracker, and all devices carry a 24-month warranty.
Do the cameras meet resources client requirements?
The in-vehicle cameras are compliant with BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance requirements and can be configured to capture both the road and the driver. They pair with any powered tracker.
How does it handle contractor compliance?
Inductions, policies and safety content are delivered digitally before the worker arrives on site, configured per company, site or position. Licences, tickets and permits are monitored centrally with alerts before expiry.
Can we schedule maintenance on engine hours instead of dates?
Yes. Service intervals are set per asset and counted down on live utilisation, with the hours coming from the machine telematics when tracking is connected. Calendar-based intervals and maintenance are also supported where they suit the asset.
What connectivity do the devices use?
Devices run on the 4G-LTE network. A WiFi Tracker is also available: it connects over WiFi where a site has it, with the 4G-LTE network as the backup.
