Plantman — AI Command Centre for Mining Operations
Plantman operates mining equipment across multiple WA locations. Their data lived across ERP systems and spreadsheets — giving management no unified view of asset utilisation, procurement timing, or equipment availability. Decisions were reactive. Opportunities were invisible.
The Challenge
Blind Spots
With equipment spread across WA mining sites and data siloed in separate systems, Plantman had no single view of what was happening across the business. Procurement decisions were made without visibility into actual usage patterns, creating unnecessary cash flow pressure and allocation inefficiencies.
The Solution
Phlo built an AI command centre that funnels data from Plantman’s ERP and business systems into a single interface — giving management real-time visibility and predictive intelligence across all operations.
Key Features
ERP Integration: data from all business systems funnelled into one live command centre.
Procurement Intelligence: AI identified axles being ordered 4.2 weeks early — a direct cash flow opportunity that was previously invisible.
Asset Utilisation Tracking: real-time view of equipment status and location across all WA mining sites.
Predictive Allocation: forward-looking insights on equipment needs — flagging future surplus and shortfalls before they become problems (e.g. predicted surplus of water trucks in Karratha).
The Results
Procurement timing identified as 4.2 weeks early — immediate cash flow improvement opportunity.
Full asset utilisation visibility across WA mining locations for the first time.
Management can now make proactive equipment allocation decisions instead of reactive ones.
Anomalies and inefficiencies surfaced automatically — no manual analysis required.
