Light vehicle operations. Safer. Leaner. Proven.
FieldCheck reads the data you already collect to find what's putting your people at risk and costing you money across your light vehicle fleet. Then it tracks the fixes for 90 days to prove they worked.
Utes and 4WDs in mining, civil, utilities, energy and remote field work, anywhere in Australia.
The same problems keep coming back with a new date on them.
Most sites already hold the data to explain their next light vehicle incident, and where their fleet is leaking time and money. Incident reports sit in one system, telematics in another and maintenance in a third. Each one makes sense on its own, but nobody's job is to read them together.
So investigations stop at the immediate cause and the fix lands on the symptom. Idle utes, repeat repairs and downtime get written off as the cost of doing business. And the default answer is another driving course, thrown at a problem that might be a roster, a road or a procedure.
Data in five places
Incidents, telematics, maintenance, rosters and training all live in different systems. Nobody reads them together, so nobody sees the full cost.
Training as a band-aid
A ute gets rolled, so everyone gets sent on a course. The real cause is still there on Monday.
Reports that stop short
A dashboard or a report lands on your desk and that's where it ends. Making the fix work is left to you.
How a job runs
Six stops from the first phone call to proof it worked.
- 1
What's going wrong
We start with what your drivers, supervisors and fleet team deal with, not what the last audit reckons.
- 2
Why it's happening
We read your incident, fleet, maintenance and roster data together until we find the cause.
- 3
What it's costing
We put a dollar figure on the problem and on doing nothing, so the fix has to make business sense.
- 4
The fix
Three to five fixes ranked by risk and cost, designed with your people.
- 5
Putting it in
Your team runs the fixes, or we help with the training and vehicle systems side. Either way, no report left on a desk.
- 6
Proof it worked
For 90 days we keep reading the data against the baseline and show you what moved.
The usual consultancy
- Starts with a template and a site walk
- Finds what's non-compliant, not what's wrong
- Hands over a 300-page report
- Invoices by the hour
- Gone before implementation starts
- Success = the report was delivered
Ridgeline
- Starts with what your drivers deal with
- Reads your data together to find the real reason
- Designs fixes that are safer and cheaper to run
- Prices the outcome, not the hours
- Stays on until the fixes hold
- Success = the problem's gone, and we can prove it
One focus. Three ways in.
If your people drive dirt roads to get to work, we speak your language.
Mining
Civil
Utilities
Energy
Infrastructure
Transport
Waste
We work with businesses where "she'll be right" is not an acceptable risk-control strategy.
Most of the people we talk to run fleets, operations, HSE or field crews. If your people drive utes and 4WDs to get the job done, this is for you.
We don't hand over a report and disappear.
Safety should protect people and make the operation run better. If it only does the first, it's a cost. Done properly, it's both.
Yes, we go looking for problems. Then we stick around until the fixes hold.
Vehicles are our home ground
We don't try to cover every hazard on site, just light vehicles and fleets. Jay trains drivers with Performance Driving Australia.
Safety and the bottom line
A fix that makes people safer but slows the job down won't last. We look for changes that do both.
Proof, not promises
Every job gets a baseline, then 90 days of monitoring to show you what moved.
Honest about what we don't know
When a job needs a specialist, we bring one in. If the data can't support a conclusion, we say so.
Your data stays yours.
Handing over incident and fleet records is a big ask. Here's how we handle them.
Works from exports your team pulls and sends. Nothing touches your live systems.
Personal details are de-identified before analysis unless a finding genuinely needs them.
Findings point at conditions and systems, not at drivers to blame.
When it's done we return your data or delete it. Your call.
FieldCheck. Your data, finally read together.
Four weeks of analysis that links the data your site already collects to find where your light vehicle risk and cost really come from, then 90 days of monitoring to prove the fixes worked.
Four weeks to answers. Three to five fixes, ranked by risk and cost, each traced back to the records behind it.
Nothing to install. We work from exports you can pull today. No integration project and no site visit.
90 days of monitoring. We keep re-running the numbers against the baseline so you can see what moved.
Most ute damage happens in the last two hours of night shift.
- Incidents
- 23 of 38 vehicle damage events happened in the last two hours of night shift
- Telematics
- Most were low speed reversing in the crib room car park
- Rosters
- 17 involved drivers on their fourth night in a row
- Maintenance
- $46,000 in panel repairs and 61 vehicle days off the road
The fix
Drive-through parking at the crib room, a spotter rule for reversing after 3am and a look at the four night swing with the roster team.

Tell us about your operation. The short version is fine. One of us will read it and come back to you, usually within one business day.
Worst case, you get a straight answer.
