Heavy machinery.
Light apps.

Fulton Hogan has been a leading construction firm in Australia and New Zealand for over 88 years. But today they don’t just pour concrete and erect bridges. Fulton Hogan has also built over a dozen iPhone and iPad apps to modernise every aspect of their business, from recording jobs to managing workers to finishing timesheets. The improvement in day-to-day operations in the field has resulted in an enormous reduction in paper, better efficiencies, and safer operation of machinery because general maintenance needs like leaking oil valves can be quickly reported.

Safety

Maintenance made manageable.

Safety

With heavy, dangerous machinery at the centre of most job sites, it’s important to make sure all inspections are up to date. With the Plant Prestart custom app, site supervisors can report issues ranging from leaking oil to worn safety gear, upload photos, and submit any issues so they can be resolved quickly by maintenance teams.

Productivity

Get work quality on the record.

Productivity

The Daily Job Record custom app records all activities on the job site, from labour to equipment to materials. It also functions as a site diary with the ability to capture the quality of work in photos and comments. It even integrates with the eTimesheets custom app for up-to-the-minute worker data, saving time and manual entry for the team.

Timesheets

iOS helps timesheets save time.

Timesheets

Fulton Hogan needed to transform its timesheet process, which for years consisted of paper, pen and fax machine. They moved time and wage spreadsheets and databases to the cloud to digitise and simplify the entire process, developing the eTimesheet iOS app using the Salesforce SDK for iOS. Now workers can spend less time doing paperwork and more time on the tools.

Efficiency

Apps meet asphalt.

Efficiency

Fulton Hogan developed an app to optimise the delivery of asphalt to the job site. With the Asphalt Delivery custom app built with the Salesforce SDK for iOS, the team can be certain the asphalt arrives at the right time and at the right temperature to get the job done. The app also allows the team to trace asphalt laid onsite back to its original batch, ensuring quality control from start to finish.

Only with Apple

Partnership

Apple’s partnership with Salesforce allows Fulton Hogan developers to create powerful experiences for workers on iPhone and iPad. The apps are built using the Salesforce Mobile SDK for iOS and powered by Salesforce Service Cloud to modernise communication at the job site.
