Protech Cuts Injuries by 65% with PredictFit
How digital health screening delivered faster onboarding and lower injury risk.
Client
Protech, one of Australia’s largest workforce providers, operates across mining, infrastructure, and construction. They needed a digital, predictive health screening tool that could identify risk early and reduce injury and claim rates, all without slowing recruitment.
The Challenge
- A national, mobile workforce meant candidates couldn’t attend centralised medical sites.
- Slow turnaround times were delaying onboarding and causing candidate drop-off.
- Traditional screening wasn’t predictive enough to drive down injuries or claims.
Protech needed speed, scale, and smarter risk prediction. All at once.
The Solution – PredictFit
Assessments are fully digital, enabling nationwide screening with <3hr turnaround.
