Key People data into a format that suited our client was proving to be problematic , and we could also see opportunities to improve our efficiencies and capture our own data better ,” Fidock explains .
“ For instance , each of our contracts has different conditions around payment , and at the end of each month , we need to collate data accurately to ensure claims are provided to our clients efficiently and effectively . We now have a program to capture the right data and provide our customers with the information they need quickly , consistently and efficiently , while also leveraging that information to continue improving our own processes .”
There remains “ a whole range of opportunity out there ” to adopt further technologies , to enable processes within their business that have historically been largely paper-based , and Fidock is exploring opportunities to streamline day-to-day operations .
All of these elements , which have been focused on driving excellence in operations and continually improving processes , have combined to put the company in the position of strength it is in today .
“ The driver behind these programs is the fact that we ’ re preparing ourselves to be absolutely match fit , for when new opportunities come along and market conditions improve ,” Fidock says .
The relatively new ownership structure is also helping HSE Mining to build upon a firm foundation for future success .
