About — Parallax Industries

Our mission

Replace 2–5 days of monthly compliance admin for 2,400 subcontractors.

There are around 2,400 rail subcontractors operating in Australia today. Most of them are still doing compliance with spreadsheets, paper forms, scanned PDFs, and email chains. The Avetta Monthly Pack — the supply-chain risk submission required by Tier 1 clients — takes most of them between two and five days every single month.

We've built the system that should already exist. ParallaxOS captures every timesheet with GPS and a cryptographic seal, knows every worker's exact compliance status across every network, generates the Avetta pack in three seconds, and pushes it directly to the API.

Our job is to give Australian rail subcontractors back the four working days every month they're currently spending on paperwork.

What we won't compromise

Sovereignty. Australian-hosted, Australian-run, Australian-owned data.
Defensibility. Every record is GPS-stamped, sealed, and audit-ready for ONRSR.
Field reality. Glove-safe targets, brutalist Edge Mode, no app store dependency for offline.
Network truth. Network-specific compliance for ARTC, Aurizon, TfNSW and the rest. No "close enough" rules.
Founder access. Direct line to the team while we're scaling. No tier-three call centre.

Built for the Hunter Valley

Built on Hunter Valley reference data.

The platform is engineered against realistic Hunter Valley rail corridor scenarios — Muswellbrook, Singleton, Broadmeadow, Maitland, Newcastle. Six reference workers across three Tier 1 contract patterns. The demo dataset is the system being used during product readiness, AusRail demos, and pilot conversations.

Where we're going

The cross-platform roadmap.

The web prototype is the production admin portal. Mobile follows as a React Native app. PWA bridge gets us into the field tomorrow; native rolls in over the following twelve weeks.

Now

Prototype complete Hyper Accelerate

React + Vite + Tailwind on a Hunter Valley reference dataset. Sovereign Protector design system live. 9-agent AI operational on the Claude API.

Stage 1

PWA bridge 2–4 weeks

Service worker, offline cache, "Add to Home Screen" — early adopter pilots can run on any device with a browser. No app store wait.

Stage 1

React Native build begins iOS + Android

Worker and Supervisor portals as native apps with WatermelonDB offline, NFC, BLE beacons, biometric auth, push notifications.

Stage 2

Mobile in TestFlight + closed beta ~12 weeks

Hardened with field testers. Full Edge Mode. Background GPS. Camera capture. Push notifications via FCM.

Stage 2

Production web app ~12 weeks

SSO/OAuth, Avetta direct push, Xero/MYOB integration, RIW API, multi-tenant architecture, real-time sync to mobile.

Launch

App Store + Play Store + production web AusRail 2026

All platforms shipping. First paying customers live. Hyper Accelerate exit milestones met.

How we build

The Sovereign Protector design principles.

Five rules we don't break.

▼

Deep Naval Blue backgrounds

Reduces glare on rail corridors. We tested under direct sun on the Hunter Line and at 04:00 in a tunnel. The dark base works in both conditions.

!

Safety Orange actions

Critical interactions get the same colour as a hi-vis vest. High-visibility primary CTAs by design, not by accident.

⊕

Glove-safe targets

60-pixel minimum touch targets for rigger gloves. We don't ship 32px buttons in field tools. Workers wear gloves; the UI knows it.

EM

Edge Mode is brutalist

The orange offline banner is unmissable, not a subtle icon. When data is being sealed locally instead of synced, the user has the right to know loudly.

AI

AI-first

The NLP command bar lives in the topbar of every page. The AI panel slides from the right when invoked. Pull intelligence from Claude; push proactive alerts from specialist agents.

Built by rail people, for rail people.
