WorksLink is a software that integrates project information to simplify management and reporting for construction projects. It has been used on over 15 major sites for 10 years. WorksLink modules include invoices, quantities, safety, client reporting, and more. Example projects include Argyle Diamonds Underground Expansion, BHP Billiton RGP5 Rail Duplication, and Cowal Gold Mine Construction. For these, WorksLink automated weekly reports, S-curves, data transfers, and other tasks to reduce administration workload. WorksLink aims to bring order and efficiency to project administration.
