Case Study: Terra Drilling saves 30 hours a week with CorePlan

How a Family Owned Drilling Business is Saving 30 Hours of Admin Time Every Week

Terra Drilling, a diamond drilling specialist based in Western Australia, faced significant challenges as their business grew. Their reliance on paper plods, emails, and text messages created a cumbersome workflow that required their office team to manually re-enter data into spreadsheets and an Access database for billing and performance tracking. This process became unsustainable with eight rigs operating at capacity, forcing them to consider hiring additional staff in a tight labor market.

CorePlan implemented a complete digital transformation for Terra Drilling, retiring paper plods and automating data uploads from the rigs to a web portal. This solution eliminated double-handling of data for the office team and streamlined reporting and client invoicing. As a result, CorePlan helped Terra Drilling save approximately 30 hours of administrative time every week, allowing them to avoid costly new hires and focus on further digitizing their operations.
