Mining’s old guard needs strong medicine
A new report details subpar investor returns in the mining industry over the last decade, particularly big cap diversified companies which have not adapted to new realities.
Australia’s most awarded travel management company, Corporate Travel Management (CTM, ASX Code: CTD) has signed an exclusive partnership with leading FIFO technology provider Bright People Technologies.
Under this exclusive agreement, CTM will offer the most well-rounded roster management system available within the resource travel market by partnering their services with the new ‘Enable Deploy’ system of Bright – a completely new way of managing mobile workforces working in remote locations.
CTM General Manager for Marketing and Technology Solutions Tom Clark said the exclusive contract was just another step in the travel management company’s commitment to continuously improving its service offering for clients, especially within the resource sector.
“CTM is always exploring new ways to continue to elevate our technology platform for our clients,” said Clark.
“The announcement of our exclusive arrangement with leading FIFO technology supplier Bright People Technologies is a perfect example of that commitment in action for the resources sector.
“This exciting new step further distinguishes CTM’s specialist Resource Travel Management offering as a leader in the mining and resource travel markets.”
Bright People Technologies’ Managing Director Petra Nelson said her company had selected CTM from a wide range of travel management companies for three key reasons.
“The partnership between Bright and CTM will deliver clients in the resources sector a new, simpler and better way of managing their mobile workforces, and provide a unified roster and travel management capability that is unique to the market,” said Nelson.
“While we were approached by many travel management companies wishing to offer our technology combined with their services to the marketplace, we found CTM to be the most proactive and the best fit for our energy and resource clients, thanks to its expertise in the industry and the high alignment between our two companies when it came to our values and approach to innovation and service excellence.”
With the partnership now official, work will begin on collaboratively developing the technology for delivery to CTM’s customers across the nation.
