Case Study: Whitehaven Coal transforms contractor compliance and onboarding with Avetta

Whitehaven Coal reduces workers stopped at log points by 84% with Avetta

Whitehaven Coal, a major Australian coal producer, faced the challenge of quickly onboarding over 1,000 suppliers while ensuring safety and compliance during a period of rapid business expansion. Their manual processes were inefficient and unsustainable. They turned to the vendor Avetta, specifically implementing the Avetta Connect platform, to automate contractor management and gain real-time visibility.

The solution from Avetta automated previously manual compliance verifications and allowed suppliers to manage their own documentation. This enabled Whitehaven to onboard over 800 suppliers in just six months. Key results included an 84% reduction in workers stopped at site log points due to compliance issues, sustaining a 100% compliant workforce, and providing leaders with accurate, real-time data. Avetta's platform integrated with internal systems via APIs, breaking down data silos and supporting further business growth.
