Strategic Procurement
From Cost Function to Profit Driver
Most procurement functions focus on price. We focus on total value, uncovering savings in lifecycle cost, supplier terms, specification risk, and market timing that unit-price thinking always misses.
→TCO modelling for mining equipment, reagents, and mobile fleet.
→Should-cost models built from first principles — not just market comps
→Value engineering sessions embedded in FEED and detailed design phases
→Category strategies for explosives, grinding media, tires, and reagents
→Procurement repositioned as a measured EBITDA contributor
Digital Transformation
AI-Powered Procurement Intelligence
We apply machine learning to the procurement data sets that matter most in mining — spend ledgers, transaction logs, supplier financials, and consumable usage rates from mine sites.
→Spend analytics with anomaly detection and category-level pattern recognition
→Demand forecasting for grinding media, reagents, haul truck tires, and diesel
→Supplier financial health monitoring and early-warning risk scoring
→Digital procurement roadmap and P2P/S2C platform selection
→Live KPI dashboards for procurement leadership teams
Project & Capital Procurement
Capital Projects Delivered On Time, On Budget
From feasibility to commissioning, we provide the procurement strategy and governance that keeps $50M+ mining projects on the critical path. Trusted by owners' teams and PMC organizations.
→Procurement strategy, packaging, and contracting models for major equipments.
→Long-lead equipment management — SAG mills, Crushers, MCC, HV transformers.
→Bid evaluation matrices and contract award methodologyé
→Contractor prequalification and approved vendor panel management
→Procurement governance, DOA frameworks, and audit controls
Market Intelligence
Commodity Forecasting for Procurement Decisions
The price of a commodity is difficult to predict. We try to model forward price curves for the mining input commodities that matter most: steel, copper, reagents, and explosives, so your procurement timing is data-driven.
→Base, bull, and bear scenario models for 12 mining input categories
→Quarterly intelligence briefs to procurement and treasury leadership
→Budget input cost planning tied to real market price forecasts
→Steel hedging strategy advisory
→Procurement timing recommendations for a major contract award, based on the cycle.
