A connected
business at work.

Why we created it

A business has
more than one
moving part.

A list of features only tells part of the story.

A small rural service company gives us people, equipment, customers and jobs that naturally connect. It makes a practical setting for demonstrating how work moves through Outback Connect.

Wattle Creek Pumps is part of the fictional Wattle Creek district: independent farms, a pump workshop, an electrician and a rural supplies business. Their sample relationships give a demo context without using a real customer's private records.

How we run the fictional business

A team.
A job.
A service history.

The records are fictional. The business questions are familiar.

1. Give the team a shape.

   One owner, two support staff and three technicians make up the six-person example team. The five staff have demo employee records; the owner is kept distinct.

2. Follow the work.

   Sample farm customers, equipment and jobs give us a way to demonstrate assigning work, keeping service notes, recording time and following an equipment maintenance history.

3. Show who can see what.

   The owner has business administration access. Staff work within their assigned permissions, and a customer or supplier relationship does not give access to another business's private workspace.

4. Keep the business side connected.

   A service job has a business side too. Fictional financial information lets us demonstrate that wider story, while detailed business records stay in the private workspace with access controlled by role.
