Asset Tracking Dashboard

Field-grade ops UI for a mining & logistics group.

VERTICALAI.COM.AU · PERTH · WESTERN AUSTRALIA
01 · The situation

A Word doc
was the system.

A major ASX-listed mining & mining-services group in Western Australia tracks ship-to-ship ore transfers where every minute of delay costs ~$3,000. The manager had no dashboard, no analysis, no way to know where to look first. Just a Word document, emailed around.

02 · What we built

A system the crew actually uses.

Live in production

Spreadsheet → S3 → daily report

Vessel crew tap a cell to timestamp each activity, add a comment, hit send. Data lands in S3, fires an email notification per submission, and rolls up into an automatically generated daily report for the manager.

Every minute of delay costs ~$3,000.

$3,000 / min

We took visibility from zero to daily. One avoided delay event per week pays for the system many times over.

AI Enablement

One-on-one enablement, tailored to the person.

VERTICALAI.COM.AU · PERTH · WESTERN AUSTRALIA
01 · The situation

Everyone wanted
to build their own.

A large mining company saw demand spread from developers asking about Git and CI/CD to logistics planners wanting to automate workflows against Salesforce, Coupa, and internal databases. They needed someone to actually meet people where they were.

02 · What we built

One-on-one enablement, tailored to the person.

Two tracks, one philosophy

Sit beside them. Then automate the setup.

For developers: a structured runbook on agent frameworks, MCP servers, and CI/CD. For non-technical staff: an hour beside them with Claude Code and Claude for Excel, plus scripted setups so the next person self-serves. The rule for everyone — if there's a CLI path, take it.

03 · The numbers

Logistics planning saves 70 hours / week from autonomous automations alone.

70 hrs / wk

On top of that, on-the-tools work runs roughly 3× faster per team member. Non-technical staff now ship their own automations.

ServiceNow Agent

An agent in front of ServiceNow — for an enterprise IT org.

VERTICALAI.COM.AU · PERTH · WESTERN AUSTRALIA
01 · The situation

$32 a ticket.
Three days to close.

A large mining & mining-services company ran ServiceNow for ~150 IT staff against 74,000 tickets a year — 20k by phone, 65k at the tech bar, 47.5k in the portal. Vague tickets like "my computer has a blue screen" forced manual triage on every one.

02 · What we built

An agent that sits in front of ServiceNow.

Hackathon build · 8 people · AWS Bedrock

Diagnose first. File a ticket only if it has to escalate.

We wrapped the ServiceNow API as an MCP server and built an agent on top, shipped as a Next.js app pinned in Microsoft Teams for everyone in the company. The agent asks follow-ups, attempts a fix, and only escalates with a properly-triaged ticket routed to the right group. Managers action approvals through the same surface.

Common requests resolved in ~10 minutes, down from 3+ days.

3 days → 10 min

Cost per ticket cut ~50%. Many requests never become a ticket at all — the agent resolves them inside the chat.

AI Workshop

A 3-hour, in-codebase workshop for a Perth software consultancy.

VERTICALAI.COM.AU · PERTH · WESTERN AUSTRALIA
01 · The situation

6 repos. 900k lines.
Four months to ship.

A Perth-based software consultancy for mining, construction & engineering. Designs took 4–5 months to reach production and dev-env setup ran into hours.

VERTICALAI.COM.AU · PERTH · WESTERN AUSTRALIA
02 · What we did

A 3-hour workshop, in their codebase, on their tickets.

One session · real repos · real tickets

Install. Connect. Ship something live.

We installed AI tooling in their environment, wired it to Jira and Figma, then live-built a receipt-scanning feature in their PHP app inside the session. Then we pulled their MVP epic and planned the full execution order across the team — in one sitting.
