In the mining industry, even seemingly small inefficiencies can lead to significant downtime and safety risks. One such challenge was brought to light on Torqn, the innovative platform connecting industry professionals.
This is the story of how Mark from Elite Powered Mirrors turned a simple user query into a business success, enhancing safety and efficiency in the process.
Identifying the problem
Heavy vehicle operators often face downtime when adjusting mirrors manually, a task that, while necessary, interrupts workflow and poses safety risks.

Providing the solution

Mark responded to the query on Torqn, explaining how their powered mirror system works and the benefits it offers.
His detailed and practical response resonated with the community, drawing significant interest.
“The words been spread around throughout the Torqn app,” Mark said.
“I’ve also listed it as a product improvement for a few different models of truck and we’re starting to get some feedback from mining companies and operators alike to say, ‘Hey, contact this person because we need these on our site’.”
Building connections
The response on Torqn opened the door to numerous opportunities for Mark and Elite Powered Mirrors. The platform’s collaborative environment allowed Mark to engage with potential clients, answer questions, and provide further insights into their product.
