About

Right people, right place, right time.

Data Informatics is a rostering technology built specifically for FIFO operations. While others optimise hours and compliance, we put consistency and reliability at the centre to improve throughput by ensuring all roles are present and planned for.

Built from the ground up for FIFO

Data Informatics was built by people who have seen what happens when a crew gap hits at shift change. The scramble. The calls. The plan that does not move. We built this platform to prevent that, giving site managers and workforce planners the tools to roster smarter, reduce unplanned absences, and keep the right people turning up swing after swing.

Fewer gaps, less scramble

Automated standby cover and backfill alerts mean one absence does not derail the shift. Positions are recovered fast, not through panic calls but through pre-cleared replacements who are ready to step in.

Rostering built for FIFO

Rotation aware scheduling, cross site crew pooling, and qualification tracking built around how mining operations actually work. Not a generic HR tool with a roster bolted on.

People at the centre

Consistent crews build safer, higher performing sites. This platform respects the human side of FIFO, not just the roster. Predictable swings, fair rotations, and clear communication before every fly-in.

Traceability

Accountability moves from memory to system

Today, the superintendent builds the roster, distributes it, chases confirmations, handles backfills, and is the only person who can explain what happened and why. When they leave site, the proof leaves with them. Data Informatics changes that. The superintendent still makes the decisions, but every action is recorded, versioned, and traceable without relying on one person's recollection.

The superintendent still decides. The platform holds the proof.

The plan runs when your people show up.

Fewer disruptions. More predictable rosters. A roster room that is not running on calls and spreadsheets. When the superintendent knows who is confirmed for the swing before the bus leaves, everything downstream gets easier.

Attendance is a strategy, not just a metric.

More attended days means more tonnage moved, processed, and shipped. Data Informatics gives FIFO managers smarter rostering tools to plan crews with confidence, reduce unplanned absences, and keep the mine plan on track swing after swing. Research into Australian FIFO mining workers found that 1 in 5 workers miss shifts due to health related reasons in a year. In a workforce of thousands, that is not a people problem. It is a planning problem. Better rostering is one of the most direct levers available to reduce it.

Our Mission

To make FIFO workforces more reliable, swing after swing, so site managers spend less time filling gaps and more time running the plan.

Build a workforce that shows up.

Start with one crew. Measure the difference. Scale with confidence.
