Mining and aggregate operations need ERP that tracks material by weight from extraction through processing to dispatch, allocates haulage and fuel cost per vehicle and per trip, and reconciles royalty and mineral permit consumption against actual dispatch records for statutory reporting.
The gap
Each of these is a data-capture problem before it is a governance problem. Hardware that records automatically fixes them; policies do not.
Fuel and vehicle cost seen only as a monthly total makes it impossible to identify which routes, vehicles or contractors are uneconomic.
Liability calculated from production estimates rather than measured dispatch creates both statutory exposure and frequent overpayment.
Without maintenance scheduling and breakdown history, availability is reactive and throughput targets are guesses.
Losses between extraction, processing and dispatch exist in every operation. Without measurement at each stage they cannot be distinguished from theft.
Hired vehicle bills submitted without trip-level records are difficult to verify and slow to settle.
Consolidated reporting without site-level profitability lets an unprofitable pit continue unnoticed.
Weight captured at extraction, processing and dispatch so variance is quantified rather than assumed.
Fuel, tyre and maintenance cost allocated per vehicle and per trip, with cost per tonne-kilometre reporting.
Permit consumption and royalty payable calculated from measured dispatch, keeping statutory returns defensible.
Service intervals by running hours with breakdown history and availability reporting per machine.
Hired vehicle bills validated against GPS-recorded trips before approval.
Per-pit costing and profitability alongside a consolidated group view.
Mining operations move mass. Extraction, hauling, processing and dispatch all change the form and the value of that mass, and each step introduces measurement variance. A system that only counts units cannot express any of this.
Distance from face to plant, load factor, fuel efficiency and tyre wear determine haulage cost, and most operations only see the fuel bill in aggregate at month-end. Costing per vehicle and per trip changes decisions about fleet mix and route planning almost immediately.
Royalty calculated on production estimates rather than measured dispatch is both a compliance exposure and, frequently, an overpayment. Permit consumption tracked as material moves keeps statutory returns defensible.
Excavators, loaders and crushers determine throughput more than reserves do. Preventive maintenance scheduling and breakdown history make availability something you manage rather than something that happens to you.
Groups running several pits need per-site profitability. Averaged across the group, a loss-making pit is invisible until someone looks specifically.
Modules
Sector-specific modules, not a generic ERP with the labels changed.
Bench and face-wise extraction against the approved mining plan, with volumes recorded per shift and compared to sanctioned annual quantity as the year runs.
Every tipper trip logged from face to plant with load, distance and turnaround, building cost per tonne-kilometre instead of one fuel bill at month-end.
Screening and crushing output by product, stockpile balances by grade and stage-wise variance, so losses between extraction, plant and yard are quantified separately.
Weight captured from the indicator into the sale with transit pass reference, customer rate and vehicle, giving one despatch record that royalty and billing both use.
Preventive service by running hours for excavators, loaders, drills and crushers, with breakdown history and availability per machine, since availability caps throughput.
Permit consumption, royalty and DMF payable computed from measured despatch, alongside per-pit costing so a loss-making site is visible against the group.
End to end
Every stage writes to the same ledger, so the number at the end reconciles with the number at the start.
Production is drawn against the approved mining plan and permitted quantity. Drilling, blasting and excavation are recorded per bench, writing to production and permit balance.
Tipper trips are logged with load and route, own and hired vehicles alike, feeding fuel reconciliation, contractor trip verification and haulage cost per tonne-kilometre.
Screening and crushing convert run-of-mine into saleable grades. Measured output against input quantifies process loss rather than leaving it inside a single shrinkage figure.
Grade-wise stockpile balances are held against customer orders and rate contracts, so the yard commits only what exists and dispatch queues against real availability.
Gross and tare from the weighbridge produce the despatch, the transit pass is consumed against the permit, and the e-way bill is raised where value requires it.
Royalty, DMF and NMET liability accrue from weighed despatch, and monthly production and despatch returns to the mining department come from the same records.
Extraction, haulage, processing, equipment and overhead costs settle per pit, giving site-wise profitability alongside the consolidated group view management works from.
Hardware & integrations
Automatic capture is what makes the numbers trustworthy. Manual entry is where leakage starts.
The despatch weight that royalty, billing and stock all depend on. Reading it directly removes the transcription step where under-declared tonnage usually enters.
Continuous output measurement at the screen and crusher. Separates genuine process loss from yard shrinkage, which a single monthly reconciliation cannot distinguish.
Trip records and tank readings per vehicle. Verify hired-tipper bills against actual journeys and expose siphoning that an aggregate diesel figure hides completely.
Plate recognition at the pit gate matched to an authorised despatch, so a vehicle cannot leave with material that has no weighment behind it.
Vehicle identification using tags already fitted for tolls, giving queue and turnaround data at entry without another device on every truck in the fleet.
Statutory
Filing should be a report you run, not a month-end reconstruction from paper.
Royalty on despatched mineral plus District Mineral Foundation and National Mineral Exploration Trust contributions under the MMDR Act, all computed from weighed despatch.
Mineral transit passes issued per load and monthly production and despatch returns to the state mining department, reconciled to weighbridge records rather than estimates.
Production capped at the sanctioned quantity in the environmental clearance, with half-yearly compliance reporting and monitoring data held against the lease.
PESO licence for storage and use under the Explosives Rules, with magazine stock, issue and blast consumption records that must reconcile on inspection.
Mineral sales attract GST with IRN above the threshold and an e-way bill per qualifying movement, generated from the despatch so documents and ledger agree.

Quarrying & aggregates
A three-pit aggregate producer running manual weighbridge slip books could not reconcile production against sales. After deploying Quarry360 with direct weighbridge capture, ANPR at the gates and GPS on the fleet, unrecorded dispatch effectively stopped and diesel reconciliation identified a second, separate loss.
