Build a Connected Digital Core for Mining
One Platform Across the Mining Value Chain
Mining operations involve interconnected activities. Equipment availability affects production. Production affects inventory and transportation. Procurement affects spare parts and operational continuity. Commodity prices influence revenue and profitability. A connected ERP environment helps bring these processes together.
Mining Operations
Connect operational requirements with materials, assets, maintenance, production, inventory, and financial processes.
Asset Management
Manage equipment, machinery, vehicles, processing units, and other operational assets throughout their lifecycle.
Maintenance Management
Plan preventive and corrective maintenance while improving visibility into equipment history, maintenance activities, and costs.
Materials & Spare Parts
Manage critical spares, consumables, fuel, components, and other materials across warehouses and remote mine locations.
Procurement
Connect purchasing requirements with inventory levels, operational needs, maintenance schedules, and supplier processes.
Logistics
Coordinate the movement of extracted minerals, raw materials, equipment, and supplies between mines, plants, warehouses, customers, and ports.
Financial Management
Connect operational transactions with accounting, controlling, cost management, and financial reporting.
Sales & Distribution
Coordinate customer requirements, mineral availability, orders, deliveries, transportation, and billing.
Designed for the Mining Operating Model
From Mine Site to Market
Mining businesses need visibility across a value chain that can span remote extraction sites, processing facilities, warehouses, transportation networks, and customer destinations. An integrated ERP platform connects these activities through a common business foundation.
Mining ERP Capabilities
Manage Critical Mining Processes with Greater Visibility. Modern mining operations require more than financial accounting or basic inventory management. They need an integrated environment capable of supporting asset-intensive operations and complex supply chains.
Asset Lifecycle Management
Mining equipment represents a significant investment. Excavators, haul trucks, crushers, conveyors, drilling equipment, processing units, and other assets must remain available to maintain production schedules. An integrated asset environment helps maintain equipment information, service history, maintenance activities, costs, and lifecycle data.
Maintenance Planning
Unplanned equipment failure can affect production schedules and increase operational costs. Support preventive and corrective maintenance processes by connecting maintenance planning with asset information, spare parts, procurement, inventory, and cost management.
Spare Parts & Materials Management
Mining sites require reliable access to critical spare parts, lubricants, fuel, consumables, tools, and other materials. Connected inventory processes provide visibility into stock levels, material movements, replenishment requirements, and warehouse availability across locations.
Procurement Management
Procurement teams need to balance operational urgency with inventory levels, supplier availability, pricing, and delivery timelines. Connect purchase requirements with maintenance, inventory, production, and business processes to improve purchasing visibility.
Inventory Management
Mining organizations manage large quantities of materials across central warehouses, processing facilities, mine sites, and remote locations. A connected inventory environment helps teams monitor stock, movements, consumption, and availability across relevant locations.
Logistics & Distribution
Extracted minerals may move through multiple stages before reaching customers. Transportation planning, inventory movements, delivery schedules, and customer requirements work together to improve visibility from mine or processing facility to final destination.

Solve the Biggest Challenges in Mining
Turn Operational Complexity into Better Business Control
Equipment failures can interrupt production and affect operational targets.
Multiple sites can make it difficult to maintain consistent information and centralized visibility.
Shortages of essential components can delay maintenance and affect equipment availability.
Mining involves significant expenditure on equipment, energy, labor, materials, transportation, and maintenance.
Minerals, equipment, materials, and supplies may move across multiple locations and transportation networks.
Maintaining the right stock at remote locations can be difficult.
Mining Supply Chain & Materials Management

Mining operations depend on the availability of materials at the right location and time. A connected materials environment manages:
Better Stock Visibility
Understand available inventory across operational locations.
Smarter Replenishment
Identify needs dynamically based on operational demand.
Controlled Movement
Maintain visibility into transfers and consumption.
Procurement Sync
