The challenges
Like many organisations, Advaita was lacking a single solution to manage their operation and implementations, and the resulting disruption to data flow and lack of transparency meant that their team was spending unnecessary time on projects doing administrative work and double checking data. The need for an auditable and transparent accounting journal was a major challenge which led them to seek out a solution they could trust to manage their data. Also of high importance was a system that allowed for customisation to match their specific needs –especially with the highly unique needs of their organisation.
Another challenge which can be considered an essential function required by a tool such as this – reporting capabilities and data visualisation was a key deciding factor. Customisable and detailed reporting, as well as displaying key data for both internal and external use was a requirement for Advaita when making a decision on the tool they selected as the best fit for their needs.

The results
“We chose MineMarket CTRM as the best solution for us because the features and functionality for Trade and Logistics were better than the alternatives we looked at. In the 3 years since we started this project and have been working with Datamine and MineMarket CTRM, we’ve noticed benefits such as time savings, improved data accuracy, and much more in depth analysis available to us on company performance” – Jeffrey Lau, Advaita Group DMCC.
With a much deeper understanding of their data and material movements, Advaita has been able to make better informed decisions in their business strategy and planning. The automation built into the system has meant that more resources have been freed up and the team is able to spend time on work that adds value, such as analysis instead of data reconciliation.
Over the time Advaita has been a user of MineMarket CTRM, “the time required to prepare reports has decreased significantly, while we also have more confidence in our data after moving from Excel” – Jeffrey Lau, Advaita Group DMCC.
