Custom Software for Mining & Resources
The resources sector operates in challenging environments where reliable technology is critical. We build robust systems that work in remote locations, handle complex compliance requirements, and integrate with heavy equipment and sensors.
Software built for an office doesn't survive a mine site. Field crews on remote operations deal with patchy or non-existent connectivity, which means cloud-only apps simply stop working the moment a vehicle leaves the camp. The fallback is paper — prestart checks, take-5s, incident reports, and equipment inspections filled out by hand, driven back to site offices, and re-keyed into SAP or Pronto days later. By the time the data lands anywhere useful, it's stale, incomplete, and nobody trusts it enough to make decisions with it. Meanwhile, expensive equipment moves between pits, workshops, and contractors across vast areas, and the spreadsheet that's supposed to track it is out of date the day it's saved.
Custom software fixes this by being designed for the conditions you actually operate in. Offline-first mobile apps let crews complete inspections, hazard reports, and timesheets with zero connectivity, then sync automatically when they're back in range. Rather than replacing your ERP, we build around it — field data flows into SAP or Pronto through their supported interfaces, equipment telemetry from Caterpillar and Komatsu systems feeds maintenance scheduling, and SCADA data can drive automated environmental monitoring reports instead of someone exporting spreadsheets every month. The goal is one entry point for data, captured where the work happens.
Compliance in the resources sector is genuinely complex — WHS obligations, Mining Act requirements that differ between Queensland, Western Australia, and New South Wales, environmental approval conditions with their own monitoring and reporting schedules, and FIFO workforce management on top. Rostered workforces add their own layer — tracking inductions, certifications, and competency expiries across a rotating crew is a genuine data problem, not just a scheduling one. Software doesn't make those obligations disappear, but it can make them auditable: digital records with timestamps and signatures, automated reminders before reporting deadlines, and incident workflows that capture what regulators actually ask for. We design these systems against your specific obligations, and we're upfront when something needs review by your safety or legal team rather than pretending software alone covers it.
We're a Brisbane-based team in one of Australia's major mining services hubs, and we work with resources companies and contractors across the country — from single-site quarry operations to multi-site service providers. Projects start with a discovery phase where we map how data currently moves from the field to head office, then we quote fixed-price so the investment is known before you commit. You own all the code and IP at the end, with nothing locked to us.

Common Integrations
Mining Software Questions, Answered
Can you integrate with SAP or Pronto?
Yes. Most of our mining work connects field tools to existing ERP systems rather than replacing them. We build integrations using each vendor's supported APIs and interfaces, so SAP or Pronto remains your system of record while custom apps handle data capture in the field and push clean data back automatically.
Will the apps work on remote sites without internet?
That's the default for our mining builds. Apps are designed offline-first: crews complete inspections, prestarts, and reports with no connectivity at all, and everything syncs automatically when the device is back in range of site WiFi or mobile coverage. No data is lost, and conflicts are handled predictably.
How much does custom mining software cost?
A focused tool like a digital prestart and inspection app or an incident reporting system typically starts around $15,000–$40,000. Larger platforms — asset tracking with ERP integration, multi-site safety management — range higher depending on scope. We quote fixed-price after discovery, so there are no surprises mid-project.
Can the software handle our WHS and Mining Act reporting?
We build reporting workflows against your specific obligations — incident registers, hazard tracking, environmental monitoring schedules, and audit-ready records with timestamps and signatures. Requirements differ by state and tenement, so we design from your actual approval conditions and WHS procedures rather than a generic template.
Who owns the software once it's built?
You do. All code, designs, and IP transfer to you on final payment — there are no licence fees and no lock-in to us. Many clients keep us on for ongoing support and maintenance, but that's a choice, not a dependency. Your internal team or another vendor can take it over at any time.
