About Us

FTP was founded in 2012 and was originally known as Forces Transitioning Personnel. Originally, the company’s purpose was to help former military personnel transition to jobs in the mining industry. Very quickly, we became an important source of skilled labour for large and prestigious mining companies. Today the company is simply known as FTP.

Noticing a gap in the market, the mining industry has and continues to rely on data collection in order to remain efficient, yet many companies used cumbersome programs to represent and analyse that data and often don’t fully utilise them. Through the knowledge and experiences of the founders, this gap was better realised. At that point, key personnel were brought into the business and significant investment was made to create IMS (Integrated Management System) to bridge this gap. IMS is positioned to provide companies with better operational intelligence over their operations and gives them the tools to maximise their productivity and better inform business intelligence decisions.

IMS is a vendor agnostic digital platform. It collates data from a variety of third-party systems and presents them in an easy-to-understand, single window interface. Shortly after its development, OTSC (Operational Technology Support Centre) was created; a team of experienced engineers and support workers who are trained in our software. They are tasked with making sure that you get the most out of our platform.

In the years since we first developed IMS, FTP has expanded into several more industries. We aim to use our ground-breaking technology in as wide of a context as possible, so that businesses everywhere can stop working blind.
