Mining Industry
Digital Solution Development
Mining operations are complex, capital-intensive, and highly regulated. From exploration and extraction to processing and logistics, the volume of operational, environmental, and financial data generated daily can be overwhelming.

Project Management
Project management is a series of actions and activities whereby information needs to be collected, qualified and then reported back to the business and customer. Within the project management process, there are multiple data sources and oftentimes incorrect information leading to poor decision making. DDB Consultants Inc has one aim here and that is to streamline the flow of information and allow the project management team to work on the future, and not in the past.
What's In It For You?
- No more justification, you just present the facts. Our reports and live dashboards will be the storytelling tool allowing you to present in real time. Changing the conversation from a defensive tone to an optimistic and constructive one.
- Everything is one place. We will centralize all your project information and automate the communication elements of project management. By doing this we create a pull information system whereby all stakeholders can access the details with ZERO meetings.
- Keeping the customer informed. One of the leading issues in a transactional relationship is communication. The customer needs to see progress and wants to confidently know that they are getting value for your service. We will automatically create communication tools that will engage your clients positively, avoiding the “what is going on call” from the customer.
How Does It Work?
01.
Project managers have a difficult role. They are expected to manage a project that ends on time and on budget while having little control over the resources executing the project. The speed at which information is collected, reconciled and reported is absolutely critical in this role. DDB will establish a project management process that creates complete real time transparency and accountability.
02.
Tracking progress doesn't have to mean, sending a text message to the field lead, or going for a drive to the site. It’s about creating a process that connects everyone through a real time digital solution. Our team will help you determine the correct touchpoints and automate the project tracking process.
03.
Financial reconciliation matters. At the present time, most project managers are exporting and collecting data from disparate data sources and reconciling to determine project profitability. Unfortunately, this often happens months after the project is completed. We don't want that for you. It’s painful and frustrating. Our solutions will allow you to manage project costs in real time and allow you to keep a daily pulse on the project.
