Integrated Frontline Work Management and Short Interval Control Software for the Resources Industry
Our suite of connected, frontline productivity solutions is designed to replace the disconnected cluster of manual whiteboards, paper and spreadsheets used in managing day-to-day operations.
Our tools combine to form a ‘Frontline Commitment System‘ that enables teams of people to commit to and execute the right work, at the right time, right across the site.
Experience has shown us that this improves productivity by over 20% on most operations whilst also reducing variability.

Commitment Precedes All Great Achievements
Successful organisations are driven by people that make commitments to each other and then deliver on them.
We believe that the majority of frontline workers want to commit – they want to do a good job, but they are thwarted by uncoordinated spreadsheet and whiteboard systems. When expectations are clearly communicated and agreed through effective coordination and respectful negotiation, teams can commit and be confident of achieving targets.
Commit Works makes this kind of commitment possible by providing all the information required for collaborative decision-making, to the right people, at the right time. We call this our ‘Frontline Commitment System‘.
Connect.
Commit Works connects to your ERP, planning, safety and project systems so that the things that matter to frontline leaders, planners and their teams are in the plan and visible to everyone, every shift.
This makes it easy to connect the targets and work done at the frontline with the intentions of management, technical and engineering teams on site. This improves schedule compliance and makes it easier to plan the mine and mine the plan.
We also embed our software into your management operating system (MOS), BPF, Lean, Six Sigma, 7/21 or “wiring” processes to ensure it supports and improves the way you plan, do, check and act on work.
Collaborate.
Our software helps planners and frontline leaders to collaborate on the work their crews need to do so that it can be properly coordinated into shift plans that can be executed efficiently. This means teams can actually commit to well thought out weekly, daily and shiftly plans before they go to work on them.
It’s important that these plans are visible and make sense to the team at the frontline. Our software is often used for preshift coordination meetings and in handovers and prestarts so that everyone knows what needs to be done before they go to work.
Control.
Our software makes it easy for control rooms, supervisors, foremen, deputies, under managers, shift bosses etc. to keep the work that is being done aligned with the agreed plan for the shift, some people call this short interval control.
Inevitably things change as the work happens. Our software makes it all visible on tablets, phones, big screens, control rooms and even paper that work both online and offline so that decisions can be made to protect the plan, ensuring the most important work gets done and anything important isn’t forgotten.
Our Story
We started out as consultants many years ago, making spreadsheets and whiteboards for mine sites. We realised these tools were not really doing the job: they weren’t sustainable and were hard for people to use.
Commit Works’ founders were commissioned by a mine in Queensland, Australia to develop a properly-architected system. Since the development of our first product Fewzion, the company has been on a mission to replace ineffective whiteboards and spreadsheets with professional software.
We now work with mining operations all over the world with a commitment to helping them reduce variability and improve productivity. Our clients include: Adaro, Anglo American, Barrick, BHP, Glencore, Mastermyne, Oceana Gold, Rio Tinto and South 32.
Reduce Variability, Improve Productivity
Our software has enabled operating management teams to substantially reduce day to day variation in operational productivity, a hugely underrated and misunderstood opportunity to fundamentally lift performance and profitability.
