Large Workers Compensation Team drowning in spreadsheets

A large maintenance business with more than 6,000 field staff struggled under mountains of workers compensation spreadsheets. Each regional team maintained their own monthly Excel workbook. Because of this setup, aggregating data and spotting trends took months—and full-time collation roles existed just to keep up.

Challenge

With 1,500 sites across multiple states, each region tabulated data independently. They created a new tab every month for every site, resulting in hundreds of tabs across multiple workbooks. The business challenge? Real-time analysis was impossible. Trend detection only happened annually, causing delays and limited insight.

Approach & Solution

We were engaged through the Head of Health & Safety to redesign the data process. Rather than relying on disparate spreadsheets, we leveraged the existing TM1 platform to build standardised data cubes. We consolidated three years of historical data, created standard input sheets and aligned hierarchies for all sites and employees.


As a result, real-time data refreshes became possible and the team regained control over their analytics.

Results & ROI

The process, previously requiring a full-time resource per region, now takes just days for the entire organisation. Real-time data means faster, more accurate reporting. Manual effort dropped significantly, freeing resources for higher-value tasks.

Project timeframe: 3 months

Estimated ROI: Process reduced to days instead of full-time roles across regions.
