The partnership will give real-time visibility to site operators to enable quicker decision-making, improved maintenance planning, and optimised resource allocation for heavy machinery fleets, ultimately leading to enhanced operational efficiency.

“With the construction and mining industries facing significant business and technology challenges caused by equipment and skilled labor shortages, increasingly short project schedules and rising costs, we know that our customers need digital infrastructure that focuses on the overall employee, customer, and operational experience,”

said Andrew Borthwick, Managing Director, Australia and New Zealand at Orange Business.

By combining the expertise of the respective businesses, site operators can now be equipped with the tools they need to thrive in today's competitive landscape, while also minimising their environmental footprint and better utilising their heavy vehicle fleets.
