What we hear
Do you recognise any of these challenges?
Here’s what we hear most often.
Contracting companies
- A master spreadsheet that falls out of date as soon as you add a site.
- Finding out from a 6am phone call that a worker's certificate has expired, whilst they're at the gate.
- Having no idea which vehicles and equipment are going to which client sites.
Mining companies
- Struggling to maintain competency matrix reports in Excel.
- That uneasy feeling that workers are on site without the right competencies.
- Your induction process sitting in staff inboxes, folders, spreadsheets and physical boxes.
If you want more certainty, control and clarity, here’s how we help.
Two products
What are you trying to solve?
Whether you need your people or equipment compliant across every client site you work on (always Site Ready), or you induct a whole workforce onto your own site and keep it compliant (always Site Approved), we built a product for each.
Why PIAGO
How we make compliance easier, and business better.
Two products from one Brisbane team. GO! Site Ready works for the contracting company on its own. GO! Site Approved works for the mine site. Either way, you can get the person who built it on the phone.
Your people and equipment in one place
In GO! Site Ready, plant registrations, servicing and inspections sit in the same register as your team's tickets and medicals. When a site asks whether the crew and the machine are both cleared, you answer once.
Both sides of the gate
Mine sites and the contracting companies that work on them need different things from the same records. We build a product for each, so neither side has to make do with software designed for the other.
An Australian you can actually talk to
Your questions go to Carl, who built it, in Brisbane. You get answers from someone who knows mine sites and works in your timezone.
Written to Australian mining law
Queensland coal sits under its own Act, with its own duty holders and reporting categories. The software is written to those rules, so your records hold up in the situations that matter most.
Manage compliance your way
The compliance core stays fixed, because that is the part that has to hold up. Everything around it is set up to match how your operation runs, so you keep your process and stay compliant.
Records that outlive the job
Investigations and prosecutions can arrive years after the work. Your evidence is still there when they do, with the name of the person who signed it.
Need a feature to match YOUR process? We’ll build it with you.
Most vendors log the request and leave you to work around it. We would rather engineer the answer properly, which is why clients stay, and why what we build for one site ends up in the core for everyone.

About PIAGO
An Australian team, and the person who runs it takes the call.
PIAGO is Australian owned and operated, out of Brisbane. The registered name is Project is a GO!, which is where PIAGO comes from. We have been building software for mining and construction for over thirty years, and enterprise mining clients have run their compliance on our platforms for over a decade.
Carl takes the first call himself. He will walk through your operation, tell you what the platform does and what it does not, and if PIAGO is not the right fit he will say so on the call rather than three months into an implementation.
To make workforce and equipment compliance easier, and business better.
Customer story
140+ workers
across 50+ mine sites
No more 5:30am gate calls.
Frontline Equipment Maintenance ran their whole compliance picture out of Excel. It worked until the master list stopped keeping up with the number of sites, and the first anyone knew of a problem was a phone call at the gate.
Moving it into GO! Site Ready put every ticket, medical and service in one place, checked against what each client site actually asks for.
- recovered every week
- 6 hrs
- gate turnarounds from internal error, figures collected 2025
- None recorded
- faster reporting

“Over the last three to four years with GO! Site Ready, we haven't had a single gate issue that was our fault.”

Compliance
Every credential a Queensland mine will ask for, and how long each lasts
Standard 11, the coal mine workers' health assessment, site induction, VOC, high risk work licences, white card. What each one is, who issues it, how long it lasts and how long it takes to arrange.

Compliance
The credentials that expire on a five-year clock, and why they catch everyone
Standard 11, the coal mine workers' health assessment and high risk work licences all run on five-year cycles, long enough to be invisible to any annual compliance review. What that blind spot costs, and how to close it.

Reading a contracting company's prequalification pack: what to look past
Most prequalification packs are assessed on completeness. Completeness is not the signal. What actually predicts whether a contracting company's compliance will hold up on site.

Compliance
Moving between civil and mining work: the credentials that don't transfer
A white card is not a Standard 11. A WHS incident procedure is not a mining one. What a contracting company working across civil, quarry and coal actually has to hold separately.

Keeping tickets current across a team that works for four clients
Licences, statements of attainment, medicals and site inductions all renew through different bodies on different clocks. Why one list of "tickets" guarantees the wrong lead time on half of them.
