BRISBANE, Australia - AussieJournal -- Brisbane, Australia — Samurai CMMS has launched a maintenance management platform designed specifically for earthmoving, civil construction, plant hire and mining operations, addressing a long-standing issue in the industry: systems that do not reflect how maintenance is actually performed on site.

The platform was founded by Anthony Murphy, a mining maintenance leader and industry advisor with more than 30 years' experience. It was developed in response to consistent challenges observed across heavy equipment operations.

"Most systems are built for the office, not the job," Murphy said. "Work gets done in the field, but the system expects it to be filled in later. That's where the gaps start."

Samurai focuses on capturing maintenance as it happens. Fitters record work, inspections and parts on mobile devices, while supervisors can track job progress in real time across site. Work orders, downtime and asset history update immediately, reducing reliance on post-shift reporting and manual data reconstruction.

This approach is designed for environments where equipment is mobile, crews are distributed and time is limited. Instead of adding additional administration, workflows guide users through tasks so data is captured once and used across maintenance, reporting and compliance.

The platform also addresses a common barrier to CMMS adoption: implementation time.

"Getting a system live is where many implementations stall," Murphy said. "Teams spend weeks structuring data before they see value."

Samurai applies structured automation, including targeted use of AI, to assist with system setup. Asset lists, parts and maintenance tasks can be uploaded in unstructured formats and automatically mapped, validated and approved before being applied. This reduces manual configuration and reliance on external consultants.

The timing reflects a broader shift in the market. Many fleets have outgrown spreadsheets but remain cautious of ERP systems due to cost, disruption and implementation risk. Samurai is positioned to provide structured maintenance control without requiring a full system replacement.

Early adoption highlights this approach. ASG Equipment deployed the platform across 40 sites to standardise inspections, integrate contractor work and improve component tracking, resulting in more consistent data capture and improved operational visibility.

Samurai has secured seed investment from Matolin Group to support product development and growth.

"If the system doesn't work on site, nothing else matters," Murphy said. "Capture the work properly, and everything else follows."
