Jigsaw Digital case-study: Department of Transport and Main Roads delivers social impact for people with disability

Sep 24, 2021 | Digital

The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) is utilising the services of our team in Brisbane to transform their historic paper plans, survey field and level books into digital formats.

Recognising the benefits of digitising their paper-based records, TMR also sought to support the Queensland Government’s commitment to advancing its social objectives and increasing spending with quality social enterprises.

Jigsaw is proud of its successful working relationship with TMR. The team has gained valuable experience by successfully quoting and contracting with a large government department. In addition, it has been immensely rewarding to showcase our professional capability while generating jobs for people with disability.

The outcomes of this procurement process reinforce that social enterprises, like any other supplier, can deliver on contractual commitments and produce high quality, value for money products alongside social outcomes.

The partnership has been overwhelmingly positive. Zac, who is legally blind, is just one of the many Jigsaw employees that have benefited from their work with TMR.

Zac is gaining confidence and a stronger sense of purpose, knowing that he is helping to preserve important information about Queensland’s road network, whilst providing efficiencies on storage, reducing the retrieval time for TMR records and making documents easier to search.

Zac is a proud member of the Jigsaw team; having graduated from Jigsaw Academy, he is now adept at 20 transferable work skills (including problem-solving, accountability and teamwork), which will help him fulfil his dream of a job in management.
This partnership between TMR and Jigsaw is one of many demonstrating the capabilities of social enterprises to deliver high-quality, valuable services and positive social outcomes.
