Mining companies manage complex supply chains and use geospatial technology to meet logistic needs. Staff use drones to accurately manage inventory volumes. They also optimize routes for fleets of delivery vehicles to minimize drive and idle times while maximizing profit. With GIS, managers can remotely monitor real-time operations to identify opportunities for improved efficiency. Promoting logistical efficiency also increases safety and sustainability throughout the global supply chain.

Optimizing the mining supply chain

Stockpile and inventory management

Efficiently manage materials and resources to keep operations moving forward. Rapidly calculate stockpile volumes for accurate business planning.

Real-time fleet tracking & route optimization

Monitor material delivery in real time and analyze routes to find opportunities for efficiency. Optimize complex routes to reduce driving and idle time and increase delivery capacity.

Supply chain mapping and risk management

Mining organizations manage complex global and regional supply chains that span many geographies and transportation modes. GIS can help staff map and manage your supply chain from mine to market.
