CraneIQ
Founding Design Partner
Founding Design Partner Program

Help shape the future of crane operations.

We work with one design partner at a time — a single exceptional crane company brought inside the build before CraneIQ reaches the wider industry. This isn't a beta test — it's a partnership between a crane company that knows the industry and the team building the next generation of crane-operations software. Built for Australian crane hire by an operator.

What we ask of you

  • Real-world access. How your yard actually books, quotes, allocates, schedules, runs crews, tracks fleet and moves payroll & billing — the real operation, not the theoretical one.
  • Active use. Put the parts of CraneIQ that matter to your yard on real jobs, and tell us what genuinely works.
  • Honest feedback. The good, the bad and the ugly. If it's confusing, or takes three clicks when it should take one, say so.
  • Regular collaboration. A short session every couple of weeks — what's working, what isn't, what's next. We work with your team, not just send software and wait.

What you receive

  • A direct voice in the product. Your operation shapes the workflows, scheduling, fleet & crew management, mobile, reporting, billing, lift intelligence and AI.
  • Early access. New capabilities in your hands before the wider industry.
  • Shaped around your operation. Configured to how you work — your terminology where it fits — not a bespoke one-off.
  • A direct line to the team. Not a ticket number; your feedback goes straight into product decisions.
  • Founding pricing, in writing. Preferential commercial terms, agreed with you before the program begins.
  • A head start. Modern, connected operations while the rest of the industry runs on spreadsheets and phone calls.

How it works

1

We talk. Understand your operation — and whether it's the right fit, both ways.

2

We set you up. Your fleet, crew, EBA & hire rates, and load charts digitised — by us.

3

You run real jobs. Live work, on the parts that matter to your yard.

4

We review & shape. Regular sessions; your feedback goes into the build.

This isn't for everyone — and that's the point

Not a fit if you just want free software, expect an entirely bespoke system, or haven't the time to give meaningful feedback. We're looking for a company that genuinely wants to help shape what comes next. At the end, both sides should be able to say: this has made our operation better.
