Strategic partnership proposal · For Cam Buzzacott, Zancott · 9 November 2026

Hand the admin to AI. Keep the know‑how at Zancott.

A 12-month partnership. A dedicated BusinessAI engineer builds the automations, starting with BHP training compliance and quoting, while three or four of Zancott's long-term people learn to run and change them.

“It's all well and good to outsource it, but I still want our guys learning and improving.”
Cam Buzzacott, on our call of 5 November
$100k/yr
The BHP training compliance role, salary and super. Mostly reminders and record checks.
200+ hrs/wk
Time spent on quoting, by Cam's estimate.
10 hrs/mo
Dedicated engineering, plus three strategy and coaching sessions a month.
Month 12
The team owns the systems and changes them without BusinessAI.

The short version

Twelve months, three stages.

  1. Months 1–301

    Quick wins

    Automate compliance and land a first quoting win around month 2. Connect to the BHP portal by API, or build a bridge if there isn't one.

  2. Months 3–902

    Bigger priorities

    Map bottlenecks with site teams and department heads, build what saves the most hours, and measure the return every quarter.

  3. Months 9–1203

    Your team owns it

    Hand everything over. Champions make changes themselves, and Zancott decides what happens next.

Your challenges

What we heard on 5 November.

≈ $100k/yr · one role

Compliance runs through one role

Reminders, course links and record checks for 200 people sit with one job. Most of that job is follow-up.

“It's just all reminders and sending links and stuff. I can't see how you can't automate that.”Cam
200+ hrs/week

Quoting eats a team's week

Cam puts quoting at more than 200 hours a week. Most of it is reading scopes and pricing them against the same rate card.

Remote workforce

The people with the problems are on site

The best ideas for what to automate sit with crews and supervisors on BHP sites. They don't have spare days for workshops, so we go to them.

“They're just busy doing their job.”Cam
Single point of failure

Know-how leaves when people do

A process only one person understands is fragile, whether that person is on staff or at an agency. The fix is documentation and more than one person who can change it.

“I don't want to invest in someone to a point where they're the only ones with the knowledge.”Cam
Integration

Training records sit in BHP's systems

Completions live in BHP's training portal, not Zancott's. We connect by API if BHP offers one, and build a bridge if it doesn't.

“Whether you can get access from the BHP portal, that's probably the only challenge.”Cam
Leadership time

Your own hours are spoken for (projects, tenders, travel)

There isn't much room left for a side project. This needs a few hours a month from you, not a few days a week.

“So there's a bit happening.”Cam

How the system responds

One fix per problem. Each one is in the demo.

  1. Compliance runs through one role

    Training compliance agent

    Chases, checks rosters and sets up new starters for all 200 people. A person handles the exceptions.

    See compliance
  2. Quoting eats a team's week

    AI quoting assistant

    Drafts from the rate card and past jobs. Drafts under 80% confidence can't go out without sign-off.

    See quotes
  3. The people with the problems are on site

    Mapping sessions with site teams

    We go to the crews and department heads, find the bottlenecks and rank them by hours saved.

    See the partnership
  4. Know-how leaves when people do

    Documented, team-owned workflows

    Every workflow is written up, and Zancott's champions change the settings themselves.

    See workflows
  5. Training records sit in BHP's systems

    Connect by API, or build a bridge

    If BHP offers an API, we use it. If not, we build a bridge that reads the portal on a schedule.

    See the architecture
  6. Your own hours are spoken for

    A light, fixed rhythm

    Two strategy calls and a coaching session a month, plus a quarterly review.

    See the command centre

Meet your compliance agent

It does the chasing, for all 200 people, every day.

It won't get bored of refresher reminders. That's the point.

  • Answers questionsWho's due, who's cleared, which link to use.
  • Chases in orderA reminder with the course link, then a second nudge, then the supervisor. Zancott sets the timing.
  • Checks the rosterAgainst the area rules, before the swing starts.
  • Sets up new startersTraining list built from role and area, induction booked first.
  • Hands off the awkward onesDisputed records, exemptions and portal mismatches go to a named person. Anything under 80% confidence waits for approval.Needs a human
