AI-powered platform to disrupt defence industry procurement

A new era of technology is unlocking the opportunity for businesses positioned to deliver works to Defence projects via a mapping system working in real time. The Australian Defence Digital Industry Matrix is the first of its kind, designed to speed up and address operational gaps when working within Australia’s Defence industry. The platform, which is AI (artificial intelligence) powered, has been built specifically for industry, and in support of Australia’s strategic demands set out by the government. The platform launch, which already has more than 2,000 businesses signed up to its portal, coincides with the Federal Government’s new Defence Digital Engineering Strategy. The Federal Government, by launching this strategy, has recognised the very issues the Australian Digital Defence Industry Matrix (ADDIM) is already addressing. Created by parent company BenchOn, founder Tim Walmsley said users of ADDIM have already begun experiencing the business benefits of the portal which streamlines processes by better connecting people, capability and data. “Up until now, companies haven’t known where to go to access work within the defence industry,” said Walmsley. “ADDIM has removed the barriers to accessing work by democratising the business landscape. “The portal gives businesses the opportunity to apply for work on-demand.” The Australian Digital Defence Industry Matrix is free to suppliers and various subscription options available to companies with project requirements. “ADDIM allows suppliers and project teams to connect seamlessly through the system’s ability to rapidly map industry projects with the businesses needed to help deliver them,” Walmsley said. “It provides market capability insights to users and automatically notifies suppliers when a project fits their people, product or materials.” For Editorial Inquiries Contact : Editor Kym Bergmann at [email protected] For Advertising Inquiries Contact: Group Sales Director Simon Hadfield at [email protected]
