Built for Tasmania's long drives
From the west coast mines to Bell Bay, Burnie and Hobart, SprintSuite runs jobs, workshop work, rosters and payroll for contractors who work hours from the office with no signal on the way.

Tasmanian contractors do not work in a compact market. The state's mining activity is concentrated on the west coast — underground and open-cut metalliferous operations around Rosebery, Zeehan, Queenstown and Savage River — while the workshops, staff and suppliers are mostly in Burnie, Devonport, Launceston and Hobart. Getting a crew to the job is often the biggest single cost in the job.
Add winter road conditions across the highlands, mobile coverage that disappears for long stretches, and Bass Strait freight sitting between you and every major parts supplier, and the result is a business that cannot afford guesswork about who is where, what is on order and what a job actually cost.
West coast mining
Zinc, tin, copper, gold and iron ore operations serviced from hours away. Jobs planned around travel windows, not optimistic drive times.
Weather and access
Winter access across the highlands changes the plan. Reschedule crews and notify clients without rebuilding the week from scratch.
Bass Strait lead times
Parts visibility tied to the job that is waiting, so freight delays are planned for instead of discovered on the day.

Schedule a demoHow a Tasmanian contractor runs a west coast trip
A three-day trip from the north-west to the west coast is a completely different planning problem to a suburban service round. This is how our customers structure it.
- Before the trip: jobs are batched by location so one run covers every client on the coast, and the schedule accounts for travel and accommodation.
- Parts check: procurement confirms components have actually landed before the crew commits to the drive.
- On site, offline: hours, pre-starts, photos and client sign-off captured on the device with no signal required.
- On the way home: everything syncs the moment coverage returns, so the office is not waiting until Monday.
- After the trip: travel, accommodation and on-tools time are costed against the job, and payroll applies the right allowances automatically.
Workshop control in Burnie, Devonport and Launceston
Tasmanian workshops usually serve several industries at once — mining components on one bay, forestry or harvesting gear on the next, and marine or agricultural work behind that. Mixed work makes job costing hard unless every hour and part lands on the right job.
- Quote, job and invoice on one record, with actual hours against estimate
- Parts on order visible against the job that is waiting on freight
- Bay and technician capacity planning across mixed-industry work
A field app that assumes there is no signal
Most field service software quietly assumes a connection. In Tasmania that assumption fails between towns, underground, in the highlands and on the water. SprintSuite treats offline as the normal case.
- Full offline capture of timesheets, forms, photos and signatures
- Travel time recorded separately so long trips are billed and paid properly
- Documentation and WHS records that hold up when a client asks about a job from last quarter
The Tasmanian mix: several industries, one business
Very few Tasmanian contractors can specialise in one sector and stay busy year round. Diversifying is sensible — but it makes reporting a mess if each client type lives in a different spreadsheet.
Mining and mineral processing
Underground and open-cut maintenance, plant shutdowns and shutdown scopes on the west coast and north-west.
Forestry and harvesting
Mobile plant servicing in coupes with no coverage, where the machine cannot wait for a second visit.
Industrial and processing precincts
Bell Bay, Burnie and Hobart industrial work with formal contractor management and documentation requirements.
Marine, aquaculture and agriculture
Seasonal peaks that need extra crew fast, with staff records and tickets current before they start.
