Integrated Customer Management Solution
In many mining-intensive states, large industries interact extensively with various entities such as government bodies, PSUs, merchants, and vendors, forming the backbone of the mineral value chain.
Currently, it is estimated that in a typical $10 billion regional mineral economy, approximately 60-80%* of the total minerals extracted are attributed to merchant mining. In this process, minerals extracted by a miner are subsequently sold or auctioned to another party, typically the end-user of the mineral ore. Given the volume and value of mineral transactions involved, which constitute a significant portion of the mineral economy, there is an urgent need for superior and responsive customer interfacing.
In the mining economy, the auctioning and subsequent sale and lifting of saleable ore by merchant miners represent one of the largest and most lucrative aspects. Under the current mineral and mining regime, auctions for mineral ore are typically managed through a centralized system. However, the responsibility for managing prospective customers (i.e., winning bidders) and actual sales lies with the miner, which is handled once final price discovery details are communicated.
While the internal operational processes for sales within these large merchant enterprises have evolved over time with the adoption of ERP and other large-scale IT interventions, customer interfacing and management, which impacts both small and large enterprises, remains a gap area. In many cases, customer management and interfacing have traditionally relied heavily on manual processes with significant human intervention.
