Solutions for mining
Mining businesses are often viable only when commodity prices remain favourable. However, a lot of factors remain in the miner’s direct control.
To succeed, you need to have the right solution to enable planning and forecasting at the appropriate level of detail and accuracy. This should not only accommodate annual budgets and rolling forecasts, but also include operational and life of mine plans which may extend out multiple decades.
Managing and updating key assumptions, planning appropriately for physicals and stockpiles, and keeping a close eye on forecasted cash costs across multiple scenarios is critical. Without the right tools, planning for mining can be especially challenging.
As a finance leader in your mining business, how can you keep your finger on the pulse and steer key stakeholders through important decisions with sound financial governance?

With the right technology, you can obtain equipment details from a vast array of disconnected systems and bring the best representation of it together in one place, thus improving accuracy and trust in both the operational and analytical systems you use.
