Contractor and Supplier Hub

Your central access point to verified, high-performance mining service providers across Australia

The Contractor and Supplier Hub is the operational core of Northline Advisory Group. It is a structured, compliance driven ecosystem that connects mine owners with trusted, fully verified contractors, machinery suppliers, specialist service providers and labour resources. Every participant is carefully vetted, monitored, and supported to ensure that projects run smoothly, safely and to standard.

This hub removes uncertainty from the mining supply chain. It provides mine operators with a reliable, accountable network and gives contractors a streamlined pathway to secure work while ensuring they are paid correctly through The Trust Wallet payment system should they select that service.

Why the Northline Contractor and Supplier Hub Exists

Mining operations succeed when the right people and the right equipment arrive on-site at the right time. But industry fragmentation creates challenges:

• inconsistent contractor performance

• compliance gaps

• unverified suppliers

• late payments

• communication delays

• operational risk exposure

• disputes between mines and service providers

Northline’s Hub solves these issues by creating one centralised talent database that manages onboarding, compliance, allocation, communication, and payment assurance.

​

How the Hub Works

1. Supplier Onboarding and Verification

Every contractor and supplier undergoes a structured onboarding process including:

• identity and ABN verification

• licence and qualification checks

• insurance review

• WHS documentation audit

• capability assessment

• safety and environmental history review

• availability validation

Suppliers who meet Northline standards are added to the active directory for deployment.

2. Capability and Service Categorisation

Each supplier is placed into a defined category:

• labour hire

• heavy machinery suppliers

• EPCM specialists

• environmental consultants

• geologists

• drill and blast teams

• maintenance personnel

• support services

This allows Northline to rapidly match project requirements to the right provider.

3. Compliance Monitoring and Renewal Tracking

Northline’s internal compliance engine tracks:

• insurance expiry

• licence renewals

• competency refresh dates

• WHS and environmental documentation currency

Automated follow ups are issued when anything approaches expiry. A provider cannot be assigned to a project if they fall below compliance requirements.

4. Project Allocation and Coordination

When a mine submits a scope, Northline:

• reviews capability needs

• assigns vetted contractors or suppliers

• confirms availability

• obtains induction details

• schedules mobilisation

• verifies pre-start compliance

• coordinates machinery and labour to site

Everything is handled through the operational workflow to reduce downtime and prevent scheduling conflicts.

5. Operational Oversight and Performance Monitoring

Once deployed, Northline ensures suppliers continue to meet expectations through:

• performance reviews

• reporting checks

• incident intake

• communication updates

• attendance verification

• KPI tracking

• capability reassessment when required

Poor performance is documented and may lead to removal from the active directory.

6. Payment Assurance via The Trust Wallet

Suppliers benefit from transparent, reliable payment through Northline’s integrated The TDCR system:

• mines deposit USDT into the trust wallet before work begins

• milestones are verified by Northline

• funds are released instantly once terms are met

• suppliers can off-ramp to fiat within twenty-four hours

This removes payment uncertainty, cash flow risk, and dispute escalation.
