Case Study
Savings and Security for FIFO Client
A leading Energy Services and Infrastructure company needed to ensure accommodation for their FIFO staff was secure and affordable.
Challenge
Our client's team of Fly-in Fly-out (FIFO) workers encountered difficulties in securing suitable accommodation while traveling to remote regional sites.
While standard hotel accommodation sufficed for the majority of travellers, last-minute shift changes presented a significant challenge in terms of both availability and cost.
Our Approach
To address this challenge, we conducted a thorough analysis of our client's project and permanent site locations. By examining various accommodation options, we identified the need for a more sustainable solution to ensure consistent access to quality accommodation.
Results
Our proposed solution involved securing a rental property, thereby mitigating the issues of availability and cost associated with last-minute shift changes.
By renting a centrally located 3-bedroom property in Victoria for $550 per week, we successfully reduced the average nightly rate from $220 to below $80.
With a total expenditure of $57,200 for 260 nights in standard accommodation, the rental property provided significant savings, totalling $28,000.
After factoring in the cost of furnishing the property and employing a weekly cleaning service, our client still realised savings exceeding $15,000 for the year.
What our client had to say
"We were impressed with the innovative solution Orbit World Travel provided for our accommodation challenges with our FIFO workers. They are able to manage a high volume of bookings and last minute changes seamlessly."
