Atlassian Jira Service Management implementation and optimisation done by someone who's actually built and used the systems in operational settings - not a coder or a reseller reading the documentation.
If your team is managing services desks, physical assets, or customer workflows and your tools aren't pulling their weight, that's the problem we solve. Clean configuration, real automation, and processes that stick.
Greenfield deployments or improvement of existing processes. Request types, queues, SLA schemes, portal configuration, and agent workflows built to how your team actually operates.
Jira Assets configuration for hardware, software licences, facilities, and field equipment. Comprehensive asset registers with linked service requests and change records.
Jira automation rules that eliminate manual handoffs and reduce noise. Notifications, escalations, ticket routing, SLA breach alerts — built and tested, not just pointed at the docs.
Service portal design and customer-facing workflows for organisations managing external stakeholders or multi-tenancy support environments.
Jira dashboards or Power BI/Looker Studio reports. Turn ticket data into operational intelligence to grow your business.
Map your current workflows, pain points, team structure, and what you actually need Jira to do — not what the vendor says it should do.
Produce a configuration spec and schema before touching the environment. No surprises in production.
Iterative implementation with your team involved — not delivered as an over-engineered black box after weeks of silence.
Documentation, admin training, and a system your team can maintain. The outcome is your independence, not your dependency.
Bankable Co is the practice of Adrian Banks — a Sydney-based RPAS specialist and operations professional with over a decade of experience across broadcast aviation, defence-adjacent drone programs, and enterprise service management.
The dual-service model isn't a branding exercise. The same systems-thinking that goes into a complex RPAS operation — risk assessment, stakeholder coordination, procedural rigour — applies directly to implementing a service management platform that doesn't fall over six months post-launch.
Drone-side: Adrian spent two years as Chief Remote Pilot and T&E Team Lead at DroneShield, operating complex multi-platform programs for counter-UAS stakeholders. Before that, he built and managed Nine Entertainment's national drone operations — 120+ licensed pilots, a large fleet under ReOC, and direct CASA liaison responsibility.
Consulting-side: Over a decade of experience in the corporate world has shaped a hands-on approach to service management that goes well beyond the theoretical. From building Jira Service Management deployments from scratch to designing no-code applications, automation workflows, and real-time reporting infrastructure — the consulting practice is a direct extension of work already delivered at scale.
Whether you need a drone operator with genuine compliance depth or a Jira implementation that actually holds up — the conversation starts here.
