A word from a SAM client
"SAM was installed at our site in 2002 to replace the many and varied systems we were using at the time.
"After the implementation of SAM, we have increased productivity and halved the administration resources required to run the project.
"I have always found Osmotion service prompt. Their extensive knowledge of camp management has enabled us to improve our procedures."

People tracking software has become a critical tool for managing people, rosters, travel and accommodation during the construction and operational phases of many industries.
Osmotion has a range of products that provide the best possible living environment and the most efficient operating conditions in camp administration right down to streamlining managerial approval processes, removing the need for seemingly endless paper trails.
Effective profiling will enable you to quickly identify positions, commute bases, departments, employers, cost codes, flight groups, crew rosters, site contacts and even accommodation preferences for people working away from home.
Osmotion SAM not only makes organising travel and accommodation more convenient, it helps with campsite and operations management. Whether creating bookings or running rosters, Osmotion SAM uses profile information to secure appropriate travel and accommodation arrangements for each individual.
For remote sites that are reliant on FIFO workforces, Osmotion SAM provides an easy solution to organising multileg travel, as well as flight waitlisting, flight check-in, seating allocation, weight management, and the creation of load and trim sheets.
An automated e-mail feature provides specified people with e-mail notification of all major events.
Shutdown management has never been easier with functionality that enables the bulk import of personnel details and group reservations.
Osmotion SAM provides a single solution for managing financial access information, simplifying employee management and budget forecasting.
