From Our Clients
"Rio Tinto Alcan - Gove has seen a significant savings in taking over the day to day management of accommodation through SAM, back in house rather than relying on the Catering Contractor.
"Current figures show that day to day management of the accommodation by the principal rather than the contractor keeps costs in line.
"In July 2007 Alcan Gove began to utilise the Site Administration Management (SAM) system at its two camps containing in excess of 2400 units. By booking all travel and accommodation through one central business unit, teamed with onsite administration of the system by the Accommodation Department, the company was able to better manage their assets and interests.
"The company found substantial overcharges from the Caterer in the first month of use alone. SAM allows us to audit the Caterer of the mandays used, rather than the Caterer dictating usage to the company."
Rio Tinto Alcan
"The SAM management system was implemented in late 2005 to provide a means of electronic management for a 1,500-bed camp running at 99 per cent capacity and associated travel thereto.
"The system has provided invaluable room management support in an environment that operates multiple roster and transport systems for the employees accommodated at the project accommodation facility and ensured accurate verification of availability and occupancy for both actual and forecasted reporting.
"SAM is a highly flexible system that can be, and has been, adapted to suit specific site applications outside the accommodation and travel arena.
"The system is well supported from Australia where Osmotion, the originators of the program offer professional desktop support and address queries from new and existing users relating to applications and features.
"We have found Chris Woods and his team in Townsville extremely helpful and very easy to do business with during our association with them."

"SAM was installed at our site in 2002 primarily to replace the many and varied systems that we were using with one system.
"Prior to the installation of SAM, we employed three people full time to support these systems. After the SAM implementation, the resources required were halved - providing increased productivity in this area.
"I have always found Osmotion service prompt and their extensive knowledge of camp management enabled us to improve our procedures."

Case Studies
BHP Billiton Ravensthorpe
The Situtation
Ravensthorpe was moving from Construction phase to Production phase.
The company was using a manual process to manage key tasks associated with transport and accommodation management.
For example, a basic Excel spreadsheet was being used to track staff and their transport requirements. Manifests were produced manually, which required approximately 30-60 minutes per manifest. Around 200 manifests per week were needed. This very manual method was time consuming and costly.
Staff transport plans were posted on a noticeboard, which staff were required to check regularly, in order to confirm when they were to be transported and how.
The Problem
The manual system of generating schedules, printing manifests and posting them on a noticeboard was time consuming, labour intensive, open to errors and costly. If a mistake was noticed, it was costly to fix, given the time required to do so.
Staff were required to be able to visit the noticeboard to receive their travel plans, or to make telephone calls to the administrators to retrieve information about their transport and accommodation bookings. This was costly and time consuming for all involved.
The Solution
BHP Billiton installed SAM for use at Ravensthorpe. SAM provided an immediate and significant cost saving. Manifests are now produced automatically, in a fraction of the time. Travel itineraries can be accessed directly by staff, removing all of the manual labour of printing and posting on noticeboards.
Staff can simply logon to any internet access point, to check their travel and accommodation schedules, via the SAM Kiosk. They can print their itineraries if they wish, or take an electronic copy.
The number of errors in scheduling and bookings have been reduced to zero, as SAM provides automatic checking to ensure there are no booking conflicts, before anything is confirmed.
