Stanmore: centralising workforce management and people logistics

Learn how Stanmore delivered a full Workforce Management and people logistics transformation in under 90 days — improving visibility, coordination and worker experience across its Queensland mining operations.

The challenge

As Stanmore’s mining operations expanded across three major sites, managing travel, rosters and camp bookings for more than 8,000 workers became increasingly complex. Multiple spreadsheets and outdated legacy tools made it difficult to coordinate flight changes, room availability, and shift patterns across six accommodation locations.

Any disruption — a delayed roster update or missed room allocation — risked confusion, worker fatigue, and reduced productivity. For an organisation operating across remote, complex and high-risk environments, the lack of a unified system limited efficiency and visibility, and added pressure to maintain compliance and control.

The solution

Stanmore partnered with Quartex to implement a full Workforce Management and people logistics solution, delivering a complete deployment in under 90 days.

Key capabilities included

Automated rostering for thousands of workers across multiple shifts and sites
Centralised accommodation management for more than 2,200 rooms
Real-time dashboards for camp occupancy and workforce movements
Integrated flight and travel booking synchronised with rosters
User-friendly workflows to manage late changes and priority allocations

By consolidating data into one scalable, practical system, Stanmore gained the agility to adapt rapidly to operational change — from unplanned absences to large-scale crew movements — without compromising governance or worker experience.

The result

In just three months, the business moved from disconnected spreadsheets to a fully integrated platform — achieving measurable improvements in efficiency and workforce visibility.

Rapid deployment – full rollout completed in less than 90 days
Greater accuracy – the system eliminated double-handling and version errors
Enhanced worker satisfaction – seamless check-in, clear communication, and predictable accommodation
Operational resilience – flexible rostering and real-time data enabled faster responses to change

Stanmore now manages logistics for thousands of workers with confidence — ensuring everyone is in the right place, at the right time, and ready for safe, productive work. That’s what it means to Run Every Site Right™.
