Case Study: INX Software achieves streamlined management of thousands of FIFO workers at remote mines with Snowflake

INX Software streamlines management of thousands of FIFO workers at remote mines with Snowflake Secure Data Sharing

INX Software, a Perth-based provider of the INX SAM Suite, helps mining and other industries manage large fly‑in, fly‑out (FIFO) workforces and complex logistics. Clients asked for data-as-a-service and faster, secure insights from high volumes of roster, travel and accommodation records to improve safety, wellbeing and operational efficiency across remote sites.

INX partnered with Mechanical Rock to deploy a Snowflake-based architecture using Secure Data Sharing, Dynamic Data Masking, Fivetran and Terraform, enabling near‑instant access to client data (with 15‑minute ingestion) and secure reader accounts for non‑Snowflake users. The result: faster onboarding (from several weeks to ~48 hours), reduced admin and storage overheads, improved proactive workforce and safety management, and a scalable solution marketable to dozens of enterprise clients.
