Diraro, a prominent transport company in the mining industry, is renowned for its substantial fleet of approximately 250 owned vehicles dedicated to transporting commodities to and from their mines. Despite this impressive fleet, the high demands of their workload have led them to subcontract an additional 1,200 vehicles from around 400 different companies, each possessing unique vehicles designed for the rigorous tasks at hand.
The nature of their work, inherently high-risk due to frequent hijackings targeting coal, copper , and chrome loads , prompted Dora to Dara to seek a reliable solution for enhanced visibility and control over their extensive network of subcontractors. Their initial attempt with a solution priced in dollars and when compared to Bridge fell short, as it failed to provide the necessary onboarding and visibility, leading to its abandonment by Diraro after a mere two weeks.
Enter Rowan, a former tire vendor for Diraro’s fleet, who initiated contact and introduced them to Bridge—a platform that would address their needs precisely. After a thorough demonstration of Bridge’s capabilities, Diraro was convinced and swiftly integrated Bridge into their operations and subcontractor agreements . The mandate was clear: no subcontractor could operate without being on Bridge, ensuring strict adherence to the platform for work allocation.
Bridge not only facilitated improved oversight but also allowed Diraro to obtain advanced reporting over all their subcontractors and how they operate while working for Diaro. Bridge’s telemetry aggregation capabilities enable data consolidation of all their subcontractors into one unified space allowing GoMetro to construct performance metric dashboards customized to Diraro’s preferences this comprehensive dashboard showcases key performance metrics such as kilometres travelled, average dwell time, average drive time, and speed infringements, among others. This data-driven approach empowered them with a robust reporting tool to monitor and optimize operations.
The versatility of Bridge as a security tool was undeniable. It provided Diraro with the ability to generate detailed reports on vehicle activity, crucial in the event of hijackings or other suspicious activities. This not only strengthened their security protocols and insurance claims process but also ensured seamless visibility throughout the entirety of their operations.
In summary, the adoption of Bridge by Diraro has been transformative, bolstering their security measures, operational efficiency, and subcontractor management. This case study serves as a testament to the power of strategic technological integration in high-risk industry sectors.
