Best mining software in South Africa
Software is chosen by workflow, not by country. The main mining software categories are mine planning and scheduling, geological modelling, and dispatch, fleet and weighbridge control. iCeipts covers the dispatch and operations side: dispatch automation, fleet GPS tracking, RFID gate automation, weighbridge integration, and production-to-dispatch traceability.
iCeipts does not provide mine planning, geological modelling or pit optimisation. For those, use a dedicated planning tool and connect it to dispatch where needed.
Commodities most relevant to dispatch demand in South Africa: gold.
