Mining - Tenements, Licenses, and Approval to Operate

Within mining organisations, the management of Mining Tenements, and the ongoing license to operate (Approvals) is complex given the sequencing, volume, timing, and coordination. The visibility of an approval's status, resource allocation, dependencies, and potential delays are vital. Any delays can be costly. Our Use Case focuses on the improvement of the end-to-end Approvals process.

This type of visualisation provides actionable insights and equips both leaders and operational teams with the information required to improve and optimise the end-to-end Approvals process.
