Cru Software
Rostering and scheduling software built on mathematical optimisation for complex mining workforces.
About Cru Software
Cru Software was founded in 2018 as a spin-out from the Biarri Group, originally under the name Biarri EMI, focused on bringing prescriptive analytics to the resources industry. Backed by Biarri's team of mathematicians and software engineers, Cru uses proprietary optimisation engines to automatically generate compliant, efficient rosters for large-scale mining workforces. The company is headquartered in Brisbane with offices in Melbourne, the UK, Asia, and the US.
Key mining clients include Harmony Gold (2,800+ employees in Papua New Guinea), Field Mining Services, Wisely Group, Minprovise, and Ellico. CEO Jason Cameron was named Most Influential CEO 2025. The platform's mathematical optimisation differentiator — automatically creating rosters that comply with fatigue rules, EBA requirements, skill matrices, and worker preferences — sets it apart from manual or spreadsheet-based alternatives used at many mine sites.

by Cru Software
A cloud-based intelligent rostering platform that manages entire workforce rosters from a single interface across multiple locations. Features include automated and optimised rostering, fatigue and EBA compliance management, skills-based resourcing, horizon and scenario planning, and self-service for workers (availability submissions, shift swaps, and roster viewing). The optimisation engine dynamically creates compliant rosters by simultaneously considering fatigue rules, break requirements, certifications, employee preferences, and site-specific award conditions.

Built for managing large, intricate teams and scheduling thousands of operations and maintenance activities across multiple sites. Offers three levels of automation — manual, semi-automated, and fully optimised automatic scheduling — allowing operations to adopt the level of automation that suits their data maturity and planning processes.
