Adbri Case Study
About Adbri
As one of Australia’s pioneering construction materials and industrial minerals manufacturers, Adbri has a long history of supporting the nation’s growth. Known previously as Adelaide Brighton, the business has evolved into a trusted leader recognised for its agility, strong community partnerships and commitment to creating a better way of life.
Adbri’s reputation for delivering high-performance products—cement, lime, concrete, aggregates, concrete products and industrial minerals—on time and built to last has made them a cornerstone of Australia’s construction and infrastructure landscape. Their people bring a can-do, nimble approach that continues to fuel innovation and growth across the organisation.
With eight respected brands and five Australian joint venture companies under the Adbri umbrella, the organisation operates at significant scale, with a national footprint that is always ready to meet the next challenge. This combination of size, complexity and continuous innovation made Adbri an ideal partner for ClearXP as they sought to modernise and streamline their learning ecosystem.

The Challenges
Tailoring to Varied Workforce Capabilities
Workers who have limited experience with digital tools beyond basic systems, as well as anxiety or resistance to learning through unfamiliar platforms.
In addition, many employees have inconsistent foundational skills, such as navigating LMS platforms, using mobile apps, or logging in with credentials.
Restricted Access to Technology in Operational Environments
Adbri’s worksites—such as quarries, batch plants, mines, and remote locations—often have minimal on-site computer access for frontline operators and face poor or inconsistent network connectivity, particularly in regional or remote operations. These environments also tend to have highly mobile workforces who may rely on shared devices, tablets, or kiosks.
Cultural Resistance
Operational teams in industrial environments sometimes view digital learning as not directly relevant to their day-to-day work, seeing it more as a compliance obligation than a meaningful development opportunity. They may also perceive it as something that takes them off the job and negatively affects productivity targets.
System Fragmentation
Operational teams in industrial environments sometimes view digital learning as not directly relevant to their day-to-day work, regarding it more as a compliance requirement than a meaningful development opportunity, and often seeing it as something that pulls them away from the job and affects productivity targets.
The Goal
ClearXP’s goal in working with Adbri is to create a safer, more capable workforce by delivering targeted digital learning that strengthens operational performance and reduces risk. This includes making training accessible for frontline and remote workers through mobile-first, offline-capable, and bite-sized learning experiences. ClearXP would also streamline training and compliance by unifying systems, automating requirements, and giving leaders real-time visibility of workforce capability. By designing learning that reflects real operational environments and using data to drive continuous improvement, ClearXP helps ensure training translates into meaningful behaviour change. Ultimately, the partnership supports Adbri’s broader cultural and digital transformation, building a more engaged, future-ready workforce.
Why ClearXP
Understanding the needs of frontline workers
Adbri operates in high-risk, highly distributed environments where workers often have limited access to traditional training. ClearXP’s mobile-first, offline-capable learning experiences make it easy for quarry operators, drivers, plant technicians, and contractors to complete training wherever they are, without disrupting operations.
A single, unified ecosystem for compliance and capability
With multiple business units, legacy systems, and complex safety obligations, Adbri needs a platform that can simplify compliance. ClearXP centralises learning, automates refresher and qualification pathways, and provides real-time visibility across sites which reduces admin effort while strengthening regulatory confidence.
Learning that mirrors real operations
ClearXP specialises in practical, scenario-based, and on-the-job learning that aligns with equipment use, SOPs, and safety-critical tasks. This ensures training isn’t just “completed” but actually changes behaviour, improves decision-making, and reduces incidents.
Actionable Reporting
ClearXP gives Adbri powerful insights into skills gaps, risk areas, and workforce capability trends. This enables leaders to make informed decisions, coach more effectively, and link learning outcomes directly to safety, productivity, and quality performance.
A Comprehensive & Cohesive Solution
To manage the needs of a workforce such as Adbri, the solution consisted of the following components
- Learning Hub – ClearXP provided a unified learning ecosystem across all Adbri business units, consolidating dispersed systems into one platform with consistent access, consistent data, and a single source of truth for compliance and capability.
- Adaptive Learning – A mobile-first, frontline-friendly learning experience was implemented to reach quarry workers, plant operators, drivers, and contractors, including offline capability for remote and low-connectivity sites. Drivers were enables to use their existing tablet devices with geo-location adding safety by disabling training while they are in motion.
- Learning Journeys – Compliance, licensing, and refresher management were automated, with role-based pathways, qualification tracking, expiry alerts, and refresher cycles reducing administrative burden while ensuring continuous compliance.
- User Centred Learning – Realistic, scenario-based learning was developed to align with real operational workflows, supported by microlearning and on-the-job performance tools to translate training into safer behaviours.
- Reporting – Dashboards and analytics provided leadership with real-time visibility into workforce capability, training gaps, high-risk exposure, and overall compliance performance.
- Continuous Improvement – A continuous-improvement framework was established using learning data to refine training, target risk hotspots, and strengthen the link between capability development and safety, quality, and productivity outcomes.
