MINING CATALYST
The key is data. Every part of the operation generates huge amounts of data, from the cost of material availability and global exchange rates in the selling of commodities to the purchase of materials, to employed staff and contractors and production itself. Within this data lay the ability to forecast and plan accurately – but with so much data to sift through, it’s incredibly time consuming and complex for a business the size of any standard mining organisation to (pardon the pun) mine for and surface the right data, quickly.
This is an issue not unique to your organisation, though how you address these challenges is certainly something only you can possibly comprehend.
Designed to maximise the value of the planning and reporting function across all divisions and reporting levels within the organisation, the unique Mining Catalyst provides a central data repository of all data required for business planning, forecasting and data analysis:
- The Mining Catalyst’s built-in drivers and advanced logic can perform interactive real-time calculations and non-hierarchical aggregation, while automated and escalated base plans can be delivered quickly and accurately.
- Business Process Flows (BPF) guide the business users to complete their monthly requirements and work status with the ability to elevate data to particular work states, up to the point of locking approved/reported data.
- User and Team based security groupings provide for member and specific task profile access, enabling mining companies to report more effectively on a trusted set of numbers, freeing up time for analysis and decision-making.
- With a familiar Excel-like user interface, the Mining Catalyst is fully web-enabled, highly functional, robust and offers ease of deployment.
But importantly, it can help mining companies plan, even amid numerous economic headwinds, changing investor demands and an uncertain global economic landscape.
