Your pit, your plant and your weighbridge can feed one system.
Mining, water and environmental companies move material that is weighed, sampled, treated or hauled away, and each business is paid on a different measure. A quarry sells by the tonne. A plant is judged on its outlet.
Every one of these produces records at the point of work. A truck crosses the weighbridge. An operator notes a reading, and a sample goes to the lab, yet those records usually sit in a logbook, a spreadsheet and a billing package that never agree.
Production, plant readings, samples, dispatch, contracts and invoices can be joined in a single design that follows how your sites actually work. It is built to order. Nothing here describes a product already on a shelf.
Mining, water and environmental businesses we can build for.
A quarry that sells aggregate and a plant that treats sewage keep different records. The build follows what moves through your gate or your pipe. A company that mainly installs or services water purifiers may suit the water treatment pages better, and a haulage fleet that only carries waste may suit the transport pages.
- Granite and stone quarries
- Aggregate suppliers
- Mineral processing companies
- Sewage treatment operators
- Recycling companies
- Water purifier service companies
- Mining companies
- Water treatment companies
- Waste management companies
- Sand and gravel operators
- Crushing and screening contractors
- Effluent treatment plant operators
- Scrap metal and metal recyclers
- Hazardous waste handlers
- Desalination and reverse osmosis operators
- Contract drilling and blasting companies
The modules, and what each one covers.
Nothing here is a fixed package. Each module is built, left out or changed to match how your organisation already works.
The site and lease record
One record for every pit, plant, collection route or treatment site you operate.
- Site name and location
- Lease or permit holder
- Permit reference and dates
- Area and bench or cell layout
- Plant and equipment installed
- Site manager and supervisors
- Contractors working on site
- Environmental conditions attached to the site
- Documents and survey drawings
Your staff and your regulator settle which conditions bind a site and who must hear when something changes. Those answers are then entered.
Weighbridge and load ticket
- Vehicle arrival
- Driver and vehicle checked
- Tare weight
- Loading
- Gross weight
- Net weight
- Ticket printed
- Gate pass
A weighbridge can feed its reading in where the indicator allows it. Where it does not, the weight is keyed in and the operator is recorded beside it.
Production and blast log
What came out of the ground or the plant each shift, and where it went next.
- Bench or face worked
- Drill pattern and hole record
- Explosive issue and use
- Blast date and supervisor
- Tonnes won or processed
- Shift and crew
- Equipment hours
- Stockpile movements
- Shift handover notes
Explosive issue is a controlled record. Who may draw stock, and who signs for it, is decided with your own safety officer.
Crusher and screening output
- Feed received
- Product sizes made
- Output by size and shift
- Screen changes
- Stoppages and reasons
- Wear parts fitted
- Power and fuel used
- Waste fines and rejects
- Closing stockpile by size
Output by size is compared with feed so that losses between the hopper and the heap can be seen.
Stockpiles and yard stock
- Product and size
- Pile or bay location
- Opening quantity
- Receipts from the plant
- Dispatches against tickets
- Survey adjustment
- Reserved quantity for a customer
- Closing quantity
Sampling and laboratory results
- Sample point set
- Sample taken
- Label printed
- Sent to the lab
- Test run
- Result recorded
- Result checked against the limit
- Lot released or held
Test limits come from your contract or your regulator. They are entered by your staff, not assumed by the software.
Plant operating log
The readings an operator takes on a round of a treatment or processing plant.
- Inlet flow and level
- Dosing rates
- Chemical stock used
- Pump and blower status
- Pressure and differential readings
- Outlet quality readings
- Alarms raised
- Operator on duty
- Handover to the next shift
Readings can be keyed on a phone at the equipment. An out-of-range value is flagged to the plant supervisor when it is saved.
Chemicals and consumables
- Chemical and supplier
- Delivery and batch
- Safety data sheet on file
- Tank or store location
- Daily consumption
- Reorder point
- Membrane and filter life
- Spare parts issued
Service visits and field jobs
- Customer site and contact
- Equipment installed
- Visit schedule
- Technician assigned
- Filters and parts replaced
- Water quality reading taken
- Customer signature on the phone
- Next service date
- Annual contract status
Technicians record the visit on a phone, including in places with no signal. The record uploads when the phone reaches a network.
Collection routes and pickups
- Contract and bin list
- Route planned
- Vehicle and crew assigned
- Pickup made
- Weight or lift counted
- Material type recorded
- Disposal point
- Receipt returned
Material type matters for what it costs and where it may go. Disposal sites and their conditions are recorded against each load.
Waste manifest and chain of custody
- Waste description and category
- Producer and site of origin
- Carrier and vehicle
- Quantity handed over
- Receiving facility
- Treatment or disposal route
- Signatures at each handover
- Manifest copy per party
Manifest layouts follow whatever your regulator expects, and your own staff confirm each field. The software keeps the record; it does not decide what the law requires.
Recycling intake and grading
- Supplier or collector
- Material and grade
- Gross, contamination and net weight
- Price for that grade
- Bale or lot number
- Sorting yield
- Residue sent for disposal
- Sale lot and buyer
Equipment, fleet and maintenance
- Excavators, loaders and dumpers
- Pumps, blowers and motors
- Running hours
- Service schedule
- Breakdown log
- Fuel issued
- Operator assigned
- Spare parts used
- Cost per machine
Maintenance is planned from running hours as well as dates. A machine that works double shifts reaches its service sooner.
Safety, incidents and inspections
- Toolbox talks held
- Inspection checklists
- Near misses and incidents
- Corrective actions assigned
- Contractor induction records
- Protective equipment issued
- Training and fitness dates
- Open actions by site
Which inspections are required, and how often, is decided by your own safety staff and your regulator.
Environmental monitoring
- Water level and discharge readings
- Dust and noise readings
- Monitoring point and date
- Result against the limit you enter
- Complaint received
- Action taken
- Report pack for your regulator
Contracts, rates and invoicing
- Contract and rate
- Ticket or service record
- Quantity checked
- Tax invoice raised
- Customer statement
- Payment received
- Dispute handled
Rates can differ by product, by customer and by distance. Your tax rules and currency per customer are set during the build.
Royalty, levies and statutory returns
- Quantity removed by lease
- Royalty or levy rate you enter
- Amount due by period
- Payments made
- Return drafts for your accountant
- Supporting tickets per return
Rates and forms vary by country and by lease. Your finance team enters them, and the software reports what the tickets show.
One connected workflow, end to end.
Every stage below can sit in one system, so nobody re-enters what the last stage already captured.
- Site and permit record
- Production or collection
- Weighment
- Sampling and testing
- Plant operation
- Stock and yard
- Dispatch or disposal
- Load ticket and manifest
- Invoice
- Collection of payment
- Maintenance and safety review
You do not have to replace everything at once.
Each phase is usable on its own, so the system earns its place before the next part is built.
- 1
Weighbridge and stock
Load tickets, gate passes, stockpiles, and the reconciliation between what the plant made and what actually left the gate on trucks.
- 2
Production and plant logs
Blast and production records, crusher output, plant readings, samples and the alerts that go to a supervisor.
- 3
Contracts and invoicing
Customer rates, tax invoices, statements, royalty workings and the waste manifests that go with each load.
- 4
Fleet, safety and reporting
Equipment hours, maintenance, inspections, incidents, environmental readings and dashboards for site managers.
How a build actually runs.
- 01
Walk the site
We follow one load from the face or the collection point to the invoice. We watch what is written down and by whom.
- 02
Map the records
Sites, plants, products, customers, vehicles, samples and every spot where a quantity or a reading is written down by someone.
- 03
Design for the shift
Weighbridge screens for an operator with a queue of trucks. Plant screens for someone holding a phone beside a pump.
- 04
Build the first record
The load ticket and stock come first. Every invoice depends on them.
- 05
Run it beside the old books
One site runs the new system beside its logbook. The two totals are compared each day until they match.
- 06
Carry the data across
Customer lists, rate cards, opening stock and equipment registers are loaded into the system, and staff are trained at their own station on their own screens.
- 07
Extend
More sites, the plant log and the safety register follow once the first site is steady.
What you bring, and when.
The build moves at the speed of the answers. These are the things we ask for, in the order we ask.
- 01
Weighbridge tickets and plant logs
Share load tickets, production logs, lab result sheets, route sheets and contract invoices. Lease documents help. Design rests on how output is recorded now.
- 02
Site manager, plant operator and billing clerk
Each knows their area well and checks screens against the day’s work. Site and billing practice may conflict. The operations head decides.
- 03
Tonnage rates, royalty rules and sampling plans
Tonnage rates, royalty and levy rules, sampling steps and service charges are fixed while modules take shape. Equipment and chemical masters follow. Every demo gets a reviewer.
- 04
Stockpile balances and client contracts
Opening stockpile figures, live contracts and open invoices come across at go-live. Weighbridge indicators and fleet trackers need naming early. The site head approves.

Questions owners ask before starting.
What is custom software for a mining or water services company?
It is a system drawn around one company’s sites, plants, weighment and contract terms rather than a boxed package. Rates, sampling rules and plant readings are where a boxed product usually strains.
Will it read the weights straight off our weighbridge?
Often, yes. It depends on the indicator and the output it gives, so it is checked machine by machine. Where it cannot, the weight is keyed in with the operator recorded.
Does it work at remote sites with no signal?
Yes, for the field parts. Plant rounds, service visits and pickups are captured on a phone and upload when it reaches a network.
Can it keep sample and laboratory results?
Yes. Each sample is tied to a lot, a point and a date. The result is compared with a limit your staff enter.
Will using it satisfy the environmental regulator?
No. It keeps the records your rules ask for and prepares them for review. Your own staff and your regulator decide what the rules demand.
Can one system cover a quarry and a treatment plant?
Yes, if one company runs both. Each site keeps the records its work needs, and the company sees the combined picture.
Can customers see their tickets and statements?
If you choose to offer it, yes. A customer can be given a login to view loads, invoices and balances for their own account only.
How are royalty and levy figures handled?
Your finance team enters the rates for each lease. The software totals the quantity from the load tickets and drafts the figure for review.
What do you need from us to begin?
A sample of load tickets, one plant log and one invoice. The written report covers the weighbridge first and the plant records after it.
How we work with this trade.
Ready products for this work.
If one of these fits, it is cheaper and faster than building from scratch. We will say so.
Build a system that starts at the weighbridge.
A tonne that is weighed once and recorded once can be invoiced and reported with far less argument. Most disputes begin where two logbooks disagree.
Send a week of load tickets and one plant log. The written report covers the ticket flow first and the plant readings after it. Everything else can wait.
