Key Details

Industry: Mining & Natural Resources Geographies: Multi-site operations across Australia

Platform: Salesforce, Paycom, eMaint, Slack, Dropbox, Talend

Business Challenge

The client’s mining operations had expanded rapidly, but the underlying systems failed to scale. Each site ran on its own workflows, causing data fragmentation, poor visibility, and operational delays.

Limited Real-Time Visibility: Managers lacked access to site productivity metrics, delaying responses to issues.

Fragmented Communication: Disconnected WhatsApp groups and manual reporting led to misalignment.

Operational Inefficiencies: Equipment and manpower allocation were suboptimal, increasing costs.

Frequent Downtime: Equipment breakdowns disrupted productivity with no preventive or fallback mechanisms.

Our Solution Approach

We designed a scalable, cloud-first architecture blending automation, integration, and collaboration to unify mining operations.

1 · Discover

Digital Data Capture

Introduced digital Yellow Cards, mobile apps, and online forms to digitize site-level tracking and eliminate paper-based processes.

2 · Consolidate

Seamless Platform Connections

Connected Salesforce, Paycom (via Talend), Dropbox, and eMaint to centralize attendance, form data, and equipment performance in one unified view.

3 · Automate

Unified Communication & Planning

Implemented Slack to streamline inter-site communication and created a daily resource planner to optimize manpower and machinery utilization.

4 · Deploy

Workflow Efficiency & Client Access

Developed automated invoice and approval workflows, along with a client self-service portal for real-time project visibility and transparency.

Technical Highlights

Unified multi-system data pipelines via Talend Centralized dashboards in Salesforce for live operational metrics API-driven synchronization of workforce and equipment data Automated approval flows reducing finance cycle times by 40% Secure, compliance-ready architecture supporting scalability
