Sheppard Mining Contracting Case Study
Client Overview
Sheppard Mining Contracting is a civil construction and mining services
company based in Kalgoorlie, WA. As the business expanded
from a single division into multiple service lines, leadership pri
oritised better financial visibility, project control, and scalable
processes to support growth across the organization.
Key Challenges
Before MYOB
Acumatica
As Sheppard Mining Contracting grew, running separate project and ac
counting tools created gaps in visibility and control. Systems
were not fully aligned, creating reconciliation variances and
time consuming month-end tasks. The team could not easily
view profitability by division or project, which slowed deci-
sion-making. Leadership wanted a single platform that would
centralise data, support proactive weekly and monthly reviews
and set a strong foundation for scale.
Evolving Operational Needs
The existing setup worked in the early stages, but expansion across multiple divisions required a modern, unified approach.
The goal was clear reporting at project and divisional levels, stronger cash flow oversight, and less reliance on manual processes.
Time-Intensive
Reporting
Preparing accurate management reports required multiple tools
and extra checks. This delayed insights and made it harder to
set targets and track performance in real time.
Limited Field-to
-Office Flow
Capturing time and materials from field crews needed to be
easier and more dependable to support timely invoicing, com-
pliance, and cost tracking.
Finding the Right Partner
Sheppard Mining Contracting chose AlphaBiz Solutions for deep MYOB Acumatica ex-pertise, consistent consultant support, and a structured
training approach suited to regional operations. The objective was to deliver one source of truth and raise operational confidence
as the business scaled.
ERP Implementation That Delivered
AlphaBiz implemented MYOB Acumatica tailored to Sheppard
Mining Contracting’s multi-division structure, with a phased rollout and
hands-on training. The solution centralised finance and proj-
ects, introduced divisional and project profitability reporting,
and simplified month-end processes. Field capture was ex-
tended through an integrated tool like TOKN, allowing crews to
submit timesheets and materials from site so office teams
could view accurate data in real time. Consistent consultant
support ensured quick issue resolution and knowledge transfer,
helping users gain confidence and adopt new workflows.
Key improvements included:
- One unified system for finance and projects
- Project and divisional reporting for weekly and monthly reviews
- Faster and clearer management insights with KPI tracking
- Streamlined field capture of time and materials via integrated mobility
- Structured training and ongoing support for sustained adoption
“Working with the same consultant throughout gave us continuity and confidence.
The system is powerful, and once the team got familiar with it, the benefits became
clear.”
-Tamara Sheppard, Co-Founder, Sheppard Mining Contracting
