MinePoint Projects
Eclipse has completed MinePoint projects for a range of miners from small greenfields to large multi-country implementations. Our projects span the globe.
The MinePoint solution is built on Microsoft Dynamics AX and can accommodate growing mining companies and larger enterprise organisations looking for a two-tier ERP strategy to serve the needs of their different divisions and/or subsidiaries globally.
Managing the Mining Lifecycle
Feasibility
From start up to tier 1, exploration companies face the same challenges:
- Cost control.
- Statutory reporting.
- Multi-company/currency consoliations.
- Remote access.
MInePoint provides the starting point for all exploration companies who have the need to conserve cash and the requirement for robust financial management and procurement functionality.
Construction
Engineer, Procure, Construct - during this next phase mining companies require:
- Management of engineering and construction projects.
- Management of the procurement chain – goods & services.
- Recording asset acquisitions – financial & physical.
- Site to head office communications.
- Workforce mobilisation.
MInePoint is modular and can be extended to grow with a mining company into construction with functionality for project accounting, fixed assets, payroll, business intelligence and document control.
Production
The mining production cycle has its own challenges:
- Asset management.
- Resource management – extract, process, ship, rehabiliation.
- Workforce management.
- Health & Safety.
MinePoint offers deep functionality and extensive enterprise asset management required for mining companies in production. Functionality includes stores, asset management, operations, sales & logistics, human resources, health safety & environment.
Mid-Size
Centralised ERP for single or multisite organisations
- Modular functionality allows MinePoint to be implemented in a phased approach to support the mining lifecycle, from initial start up to full MRO.
|
- Mining companies with multiple operations can replace numerous legacy applications with a single, centralised implementation of MinePoint.
|
- Rationalising on a standard ERP technology can help lower IT maintenance costs and reduce training time.
|
- With a company-wide integrated ERP solution, mining companies can provide flexible access to a wide range of users within the organisation.

Hub & Spoke
Two-tier ERP strategy
- Global mining enterprise organisations are increasingly considering a two-tier ERP strategy to serve diverse ERP needs across different divisions and subsidiaries.
|
- Global enterprises can combine the benefits of a single enterprise ERP solution as a central financial resource that provides financial insights as the backbone for the enterprise, while using a more cost-efficient, agile ERP application to serve the unique needs of different divisions and subsidiaries.
|
- MinePoint delivering the flexibility of Microsoft Dynamics AX is ideally suited to provide the standards for global enterprise organisations because of its global capabilities (supporting 38 legislations and 42 languages), the extensible Microsoft service-oriented architecture, and its increasing ability to service different industry requirements on one common ERP platform.
