Supply Chain Optimiser

The Problem

Mining operations in remote areas like the Pilbara or Bowen Basin face a constant tension: stock too much and you burn cash on warehousing; stock too little and a missing crusher liner or hydraulic hose shuts down production. Most supply chain teams are stuck in spreadsheets and email chains, reacting to shortages instead of preventing them. When you are managing consumables, spare parts, fuel, and ore transport across multiple sites, things fall through the cracks.

How It Works

The Supply Chain Optimiser connects to your procurement and inventory systems (SAP, Pronto, or similar) and builds a live picture of stock levels, consumption rates, and supplier lead times. It flags items approaching reorder thresholds, tracks deliveries in transit, and highlights supplier performance issues before they become your problem. For ore transport, it coordinates haulage schedules against processing plant capacity so you are not paying for trucks to sit idle at the ROM pad.

The agent also pulls in operational data — planned maintenance shutdowns, production schedule changes, seasonal weather disruptions — and adjusts procurement recommendations accordingly.

Built for Remote Operations

Australian mining supply chains have unique constraints. FIFO rosters mean your procurement team rotates. Wet season road closures can cut off surface transport for weeks. Equipment is specialised and lead times from overseas manufacturers can stretch to months. This agent accounts for all of that, giving incoming shift teams a clear view of what has been ordered, what is in transit, and what needs attention.

We have worked with ASX-listed mining companies on similar automation projects. If your supply chain is costing you production time, talk to us about building an agent that fits your specific operation.
