For the last 15 years we have continually improved our product and our support to MINEMAN users. They rely on the application, and with their feedback and ideas they help us keep it proven and robust and up to date.
Our shared philosophy is one of anticipation and continual improvement.
COMPETITIION
MINEMAN's enduring competitor is the ordinary Excel spreadsheet, beautifully elaborated by many bright people. But every spreadsheet is different. Thus for mission critical activities, most mining houses today are phasing them out, or at least trying to. The problem is with transparency and risk and financial controls. And also with integrity of common data and shared business rules. The remedy is to put the data processing and rule complexity into MINEMAN. That solution is transparent, robust and scaleable.
Other competition include database systems developed in-house by the mining or smelting company. These types of systems require ongoing maintenance and ongoing adaption to business trends. As such they are difficult to maintain and limit the company's flexibility.
STANDARDS
MINEMAN Systems is focused on standards and procedures, and consistency in design and execution. Our reporting formats for base metal concentrates are well known, with invoices and shipping documentation known and accepted by over 40 smelters and traders worldwide (as of 2006).
