Sectors Sectors · Mining and resources

ERP for mining and resources groups operating across borders.

One ledger from the pit to head office: commitments visible at requisition, assets owned by the people who touch them, and stockpiles valued by grade in the same books.

← Multinationals

What good looks like

Resources groups run sites in several jurisdictions, with contractors on short cycles and several currencies. The target is a ledger that site teams actually work in, with controls head office defines once.

Purchase commitments visible from requisition, not from invoice
Plant, equipment and fleet registered, depreciated and maintained in one system
Stockpile and lot valuation by grade, posted on each confirmed measurement
Contractor and vendor payments through maker-checker approval
A group view by site, entity and currency without a spreadsheet in between

What we put in

Finance & Operations or Business Central as the group ledger, with procurement, inventory, assets and project accounting, and Software Dynamics products where the standard product stops.

MiningFlow 365: stockpile valuation by grade, weighbridge logistics and lot-based sales on Finance & Operations
ProcurementFlow 365: requisition-to-order approvals with an audit trail
AssetFlow 365: fixed-asset registers owned by the people who touch the assets
FleetFlow 365 and RentalFlow 365: equipment, fleet and hire
PayrollFlow 365: parameter-driven payroll that posts to the ledger by dimension
DisbursementFlow 365: controlled supplier and payroll payments through local banks

How a group programme runs

We start with one demanding site and the group design, then repeat it.

Discover: site and head-office workshops, data audit and a written fit-gap
Design: group chart, dimension model (site, cost centre, project), approval matrix and integration map
Pilot: one site live on real documents, including contractor payments and month-end
Waves: further sites grouped by country and bank, each reusing a regression pack
Support: a single support model with local escalation and scheduled optimisation reviews

Controls head office can rely on

Separation of duties enforced by the system rather than by policy. Approval limits by role and amount. A commitment view across the group. Entity- and site-level access. An audit trail from the consolidated number to the source document.

Across jurisdictions

Each country brings its own tax authority, payroll rules and local-content or reporting obligations. These are configured per entity on the group template, with the chart and dimensions kept consistent so head-office reporting needs no translation by hand. Statutory content and mandate dates are confirmed with you and your local advisers.

How an engagement runs

It starts with a 45-minute consultation, then a discovery and fit-gap workshop on your own processes. You receive a written fit-gap and a phased plan before a programme is agreed. Four phases follow, each with something you can use and review.

01

Discover

Process workshops, data audit, and a fit-gap against the standard product.

02

Design

Solution blueprint, integration map, and the extensions we will actually need.

03

Deploy

Configuration, migration rehearsal, role-based training, UAT and phased cutover.

04

Support

Hypercare, managed services, client portal, scheduled optimisation reviews.

What drives the cost: users, legal entities and currencies, integrations, data migration and the gaps found against standard. See how pricing works or run the three-minute readiness score.

Frequently asked questions

Can we start with one site?

Yes, and we recommend it. Prove the template at one demanding site, then roll out.

Can Dynamics 365 value stockpiles by grade?

Standard inventory valuation is part of the platform; grade-based lot valuation and weighbridge flows are what MiningFlow 365 adds on Finance & Operations.

How do remote sites with limited connectivity work?

We design for intermittent connectivity where it matters, using offline capture and queued posting in the applications that need it, and agree the approach per site in Design.

Which currencies and tax regimes can one tenant carry?

Multiple legal entities, currencies and tax regimes run in one tenant. The design decisions are the group chart, the dimensions and which local rules sit in each entity.
