A comprehensive and integrated solution for the mining industry.
Solutions for the Mining Industry
Miners and explorers alike operate in a continually challenging
environment where cost management and process efficiency
become more important every day due to unpredictable
commodity pricing. Diverse locations, globalization and a
tightening marketplace, where investment is hard to obtain,
provide opportunities and challenges that are unique to the
industry. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Intelligent
Technology are now an essential element for the mining
development lifecycle, and choosing a partner that handles all of
the challenges the industry faces in a real-time manner is a critical
aspect of proving solid support to the organization. The PSA
Mining Solution is a package that rises to these challenges and
has proven success in assisting miners to hit their targets.
Mining is a diverse industry due to the variety of minerals
produced, geographical locations, globalization, production
methodology, statutory and government requirements, as well as
the varied functions of the organizations. Pronto Xi has evolved
to provide endlessly valuable insight into the business. The
effective use of integrated technology, across any of these
disciplines, can have a direct impact upon the financial well-being
of an organization. In today’s environment, miners rely on
software for maintenance planning, inventory management,
financial reports, procurement, process optimization and asset
management; and in many cases this is done through separate
systems without any integration. When several locations (head
offices, sites, exploration camps) and geographies are used, the
lack of integration can prove difficult to manage the expectations
of the organization. A lack of complete integration, enterprise and
ERP software that does not cater to all of these elements in a
single, integrated, real-time system is a downfall that should be
avoided.
The solution for working through many of these industry
challenges is access to a tool that helps employees perform their
roles with optimum performance. The tool offered should be
accessible to staff in real time, in any geographical location and
in any type of role. The further the tools are embedded into the
organization; the more chance the organization has of being
successful. ERP, Cost Management and Intelligence Technology
provide all of this functionality. Pronto Xi provides a solution that
excels in cost management, reporting, intelligence, supply chain

and enterprise asset management, which other packages can’t provide on their own.

models to remove the burden of modelling from financial users and improve the
management process of budgeting and measuring actuals
PSA has developed an integrated platform that services the mining industry in a way that
provides all users with rapid access to information through secure and user-friendly
interfaces, ultimately improving the way individual responsibilities are performed and KPIs
are reached.
Mining organizations operate more efficiently, continuously improving and developing
with the assistance of a dedicated technology platform. The functionality behind the PSA
Mining Solution is proven to assist even in the most challenging of operating
environments.
Key Elements to Success
Enterprise Resource Planning—ERP is now an essential aspect of the mining
organization’s decision-making process. understanding the success levels of performance
is impossible to do without such software. ERP integrates all elements of the mining
organization into a platform that improves decision-making and promotes cohesion
between business units that would not exist in a technology-segregated environment.
Profitability and Cost Management—Cost management is more than just budgeting and
is critical to managing a successful mining organization, especially during periods of low
commodity prices. In order to effectively manage costs, there needs to be more
information available to users when holding departments accountable for their costs. In
order to develop mining-specific cost models, information should be sourced from all
areas of the organization, as opposed to simply holding the accounting team responsible
for compiling budget estimates.
The purpose of cost modelling is to encourage and enable better cost management
practices throughout the business. The tenet underlying the success of the PSA approach
is our Production Driven cost model. The basic principle of the Lean and Operational
Excellence process requires that production activities are the driver of the majority of costs,
and only if you can define the cost/production relationships can you truly assign
accountability and cost-control mechanisms.
Technology—Through the use of varied technology it is possible to unite all of the
information sources of a mine site into one referenceable source. Technology allows for
information to be extracted from multiple source systems to display critical KPI information
in one location for simplified decision-making. Consolidated information from varied
systems allows for real-time information to be analyzed as there is no recurring
preparation required. Technology makes information available at all times for users in any
location, allowing all members of the organization to continually monitor the success of
the operations.
Dynamic
• ERP Scalability—Pronto Xi ERP software offers flexible deployment options that
enable mining companies to gradually expand their ERP and reduce upfront software
and implementation costs. Mining companies can stage their investment with
financial implementation and turn on functionality as their mining operations grow
through the exploration, mining and production phases.
• Respond to Demand—Keep up with both internal and external demand through an
enterprise solution that adapts to change with the business. Handle a rapid change
in transacting with a system that allows for processes to keep up with unexpected
surges in activity.
• Adapt to Process Changes and Keep Up-To-Date with Reporting
Requirements—It is common for the processes of a mining organization to change
quickly due to cost cutting, efficiency measures and transitioning from construction
into production. It is common that after implementation a process may need to be
reworked to ft the needs of the business, and Pronto Xi is built to adapt to such
changes by allowing the primary functionality to be adjusted as required.
Relate Business Statistics to Budgets—With Material, Contractor and Workshop labour
usages linked to Production’s physical activities, production plan changes and price
changes are flowed through to the budget in minutes so that the information comes from
realistic sources instead of accounting estimates.
Stay Current with Versions through Safe Upgrading Methodology—Technology
changes all the time and enterprise software is no exception. To ensure the most benefit
possible is in use, a regular upgrade methodology is essential. All aspects of the PSA
Mining Solution are upgrade proof including all software modifications. Our maintenance
program covers the costs of upgrades, and any bugs that may be experienced, to help
make transitioning to new releases as seamless and as risk free as possible.
Report and Cost Manage on Any System—Regardless of your existing enterprise
application, the PSA cost management tool, Ramesys, is integrated with numerous
packages that operate within the mining industry, and drives the ability to accurately
measure performance, forecast cost and make decisions based upon real industry
information that makes sense to users of all disciplines. Ramesys can be tied to any ERP
package and provide rapid cost management that is not available through the use of ERP.
Turnkey Familiar User Experience—Web-based access to all applications, with the look
and feel of Microsoft Office or Internet Explorer, allows users to feel at home using the
PSA suite of tools. New users can adapt quickly to the visual experience of the software,
resulting in rapid user adoption.

Best Practice Embedded Processes, Reporting and Data on Deployment—When
implementing new software there is always a push from generic vendors to implement
every feature individually and develop information and processes from scratch. With the
PSA turn-key solution, each installation comes with the option of streamlining the
installation by taking on process, reports and data from our best-practice organizations.
Reporting suites for all modules are available to provide users with fast access to relevant
information and to provide inspiration to clients who may not completely understand what
information is required. Select from industry-utilized GL account structures and proven
processes to remove effort and minimize cost in implementing a comprehensive mine
management solution.
Custom Tailor the Package to Your Own Organization—A solution is a value-add
component of an organization that needs to readily meet all of the needs of operating in
a mining environment. The PSA Mining Solution can be completely tailored to the needs
of any mining-related organization. It is common that shortcomings in software force an
organization to operate in a very specific way to meet the needs of the software, which
may not necessarily meet the best practices of the industry or solve any specific problems.
This can be avoided by using a proven solution.
Custom Code Ready for Company-Specific Needs—The unique challenges presented in
the modern mining industry often present specific problems that cannot be solved by
conventional processes, such as third-world users, complex foreign tax initiatives, changing
government requirements and one-off projects. Customizing any of the elements of the
PSA Mining Solution provides a well-supported and efficient way to create company-
specific protocols to provide further advantage over competitors. It is possible to modify
any element of the software to completely mold the solution to the needs of even the
most demanding business processes.
Allow Users to See and Visualize Information Their Own Way—Everybody has a
preference to how they do their work and how they impact the company. The PSA Mining
Solution allows users to develop their own templates and reports to visualize information
in any way they feel necessary to perform their responsibilities. At the corporate level, it is
possible to develop different formats for different business units. For example, you can
format the details of the general ledger in a summarized fashion for operational staff but
only show the details for accounting staff. The opportunity to display information is endless
and enables organizations to empower their employees to analyze their information with
ease.
