Features of the Osmotion SAM System

• Accommodation Management

  SAM accommodates multiple camps at multiple sites. Rooms may be set up and allocated against the available room types for each of these locations. SAM has the capacity to record maintenance issues for each room, allow the allocation of rooms to permanent staff, and temporarily allocate accommodation to camp visitors. The accommodation management functionality includes a cleaning roster. The cleaning roster allows for everyday cleans, weekly cleans or roster cleans (i.e., the room is cleaned according to an individuals roster). The accommodation functionality also includes a waitlisting feature for staff on a waiting list to acquire a specific accommodation type.

• Travel Management

  For each mode of travel to and from site, transport is set up in SAM outlining the ports of departure and arrival, the direction of travel, the departure and arrival times, the number of seats available on each transport and the valid date range for which the service operates.

  Some flights consist of multiple legs of travel. SAM accommodates this situation easily, with the introduction of Flight Sectors. The individual legs of the flight are set up via the Transport Types Active screen. The user then creates the flight sector, grouping the individual legs together. Users are able to build flight sectors using any of the available flights in the SAM system. System validation manages flight order and times to ensure that departure and arrival times do not conflict.

  SAM easily handles flights that travel over multiple time zones. Functionality to deal with multiple time zones and daylight savings is a core feature of SAM, and once set up, requires no action on the user's behalf.

• Resources

  Employee details are set up via the people menu option. The person’s profile captures information such as the department and employer s/he is working for, his/her commence date, the commute base, the cost code for his/her fights and other associated charges are to be allocated to, what type of an employee s/he is (for instance, permanent employee, visitor) and so forth. SAM can also record other information such as training details and competency expiry dates. SAM easily handles the bulk upload of employee data from CSV files. This feature is handy during shutdown operations at mines where at times, in excess of 300 short-term contractors are on site, and for whom employee profiles as well as accommodation and travel information are required.

• Rostering

  SAM allows the set up of multiple roster types. Once a roster is set up, it is available for use by allocating it to individuals via their profile screen. SAM uses the roster details to determine the person's travel and accommodation when a roster booking is run.

• Automated E-mail Notification

  SAM notifies department heads and system administrators when events occur to an employee’s travel or accommodation. The type of events that trigger these notifications may be transport reschedules or cancellations.

• Reporting

  SAM has in excess of a 150 reports, providing camp managers with the necessary information to assist them in effectively managing their camp. Using these reports, they are able to forecast transport and accommodation usage more effectively, thereby reducing site costs.

• Security Module

  This module allows SAM to govern camp security via the use of programmable swipe-cards. The security module allows the following: boom gate control, access to specific locations on site, meal allowance tracking, visitor’s movements and transport usage.
