Case Study: Australian Railway Leader achieves 80% lower labor costs with Avetta

Australian Railway Leader reduces labor costs by 80% with Avetta

The customer, Australian Railway Leader, faced significant challenges in manually prequalifying and managing its vast network of approximately 3,500 contractors. This inefficient, paper-based process was labour-intensive, lacked automation, and resulted in duplicated efforts, leaving the company unprepared for proper oversight and safety audits. The railway operator partnered with vendor Avetta to automate its supply chain risk management and contractor prequalification.

Avetta implemented its solution, which included Avetta Connect and Workforce Management, to automate and streamline the process. The vendor provided a collaborative and easy-to-use platform. As a result, Australian Railway Leader reduced its labor costs by 80%, cutting the time spent on prequalification from an estimated six full-time employees to just 10 hours per week. Furthermore, the company passed a critical safety audit with a score of 99 out of 100, a dramatic improvement from a previous failing grade.
