Solving explosive management and compliance issues in mining and regulated industries The industry is a bustling sector of ideas, products, services that are intended to help make the most of the mining value chain. It's often tempting for organisations that sell into this sector to focus on the allure of features. Anything from the sleek intrinsically safe tablet to the functionalities of a software program that manages resource specific requirements. Features are flaunted as badges of innovation and superiority – yet in this there lies a profound oversight: the neglect of the fundamental question – what problems do these features solve? Our Chief Operating Officer – Ian Jansen encouraged our team to think about the problems we solve for our customers and to retain the essence of why people seek out our Magman products in the first place. Word of mouth has been a wonderful tool that has allowed us to acquire over 70 mine sites globally but is only one thread of challenges, desires, and aspirations of our customers. In highly regulated industries every organisation grapples with a mix of compliance, operational and unique site-specific problems. It is within the context of these challenges that Magman (acquired by Digital Terrain in 2023) is applying the lens of true value and embarking on our next round of problems to solve. This led us to summarise what problems we solve today, and what we do today – a digital no-nonsense product, built by miners, for miners to help with the management of a magazine for explosives. Making sure that compliance is met, while being easy to use; and we’ve been doing it for over 10 years, so we know a thing or two about what works and what doesn't. Make it easy : We make it easy to replace paper record keeping in a magazine with legislatively compliant, certified, intrinsically safe tablets and specialist software. Easier said than done because we’ve seen many complex problems to the simple problem of replacing paper records. Reduce Errors : We reduce the number of errors, with no need to transcribe into error prone spreadsheets with formulas. It’s all done for you. Automatic notification and escalation of errors. The cost of shutting down the operation to resolve an error is enormous. Correcting typos on the go is handy and helps this too. Improve Accuracy : Large, simplified buttons backed by best practice user processes helps with the repetitive nature of data capture for explosives movement Efficient blast designs or stope firings : Prevents busy operators from needing to fill out entire takes. This improves speed and efficiency akin to a recipe process. Elevating governance and risk management : Unmissable notifications that highlighting on stock discrepancies keeps the magazine in check. Peace of mind with notifications that enable 24/7/365 compliance and governance needs with change logs and transaction history for investigation audit trails. Ease of Reporting : Integrated reporting or export of data to excel, with dashboarding and API options.
