Features

Every module, one set of shared records.

Ordanta is modular. Each organisation switches on the modules it needs, and dependencies are handled for you: enabling Rostering brings in Workforce, and nothing can be switched off while another module still relies on it.

Operations

Getting the right people and plant onto the right job, and capturing what actually happened, cleanly enough to pay and invoice from.

Operations

Timesheets

Workers log hours against projects; supervisors review and approve before they flow to pay and invoicing.

  • Day and night shifts with automatic hour and break calculation
  • Bulk entry for a whole crew, or generate drafts from the roster
  • Digital signature and photo sign-off, configurable per organisation
  • Line-by-line or whole-sheet approval with rejection notes
  • Budget-hour alerts to the project manager
  • Plant usage logged against the entry
Operations

Rostering & scheduling

Drag-and-drop scheduling of people and equipment onto projects, with conflict checking.

  • Matrix and calendar views for people and plant
  • Bulk allocation wizard with rotation cycles and fly-in fly-out flight tracking
  • Conflicts with existing shifts or approved leave flagged and resolved in place
  • One click to generate the week’s timesheets
Operations

Leave management

Workers request time off; approvals keep the roster in sync automatically.

  • Annual, sick, personal, long service, unpaid, RDO and other leave types
  • Approving leave that clashes with a shift prompts the approver to keep or override
  • Approved leave shows on the roster as unavailable
  • Full audit trail and leave analytics
Operations

  • Planned versus actual hours and rates
  • Project health dashboard with red, amber and green status across risk, issues and budget
Operations

Job cards & work orders

Sequenced task lists assigned to workers, and service work orders that track plant, parts and labour.

  • Work orders inherit site and department from the assigned project
  • Parts and labour recorded against the job

What you own, what state it is in, where it is today and what it is costing you over its life.
