Customer Success Story: MineMarket and Iron Ore Producer

Iron Ore Producer Transforms Inventory Management with MineMarket

THE CUSTOMER

Major Australian Iron Ore Producer

An Australian-owned iron ore company operating in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The company exports and ships ore directly from its mine sites.

Challenges in Data Integrity and Reporting

Before implementing MineMarket, the business faced serious issues related to data accuracy, multiple data formats, and time-consuming end-of-month (EOM) reporting processes.

Due to fragmented systems, the team struggled with delayed insights, inconsistent information, and the inability to validate data quickly. These inefficiencies were affecting operational visibility and decision-making.

CHALLENGES

Historically, the company’s inventory and data reporting processes suffered from:

• Manual data entry and validation
• Fragmented systems with varying data standards
• Delayed and inconsistent EOM reporting
• Lack of visibility into variances across the value chain

The Solution

To streamline operations, the company selected Datamine’s MineMarket to centralise and manage inventory and reporting. MineMarket maximises commercial outcomes by optimising logistics, charting the impact of sales, and tracking and identifying operational bottlenecks.

MineMarket offers comprehensive material tracking, logistics optimisation, and sales reporting across the mining value chain — all within a single platform.

By implementing MineMarket, the site:

• Centralised inventory data
• Reduced manual input
• Enabled automated monthly reporting
• Integrated seamlessly with BI tools

The Results

“We chose Datamine over any competitors or alternatives because it was a readymade solution that could manage inventory across our value chain.”
