Control Mining Costs, Assets & Supply Chains with Microsoft Dynamics 365.
Give mining finance, operations and procurement teams one connected view of costs, assets, inventory, production and supply chains — with Microsoft Dynamics 365 solutions localized for Zambia.
Mining complexity should not mean fragmented business data.
Mining businesses operate across sites, contractors, equipment, warehouses, suppliers and financial systems. When those processes are disconnected, leadership loses visibility into the true cost of production.
Uncontrolled Mine-Site Costs
Connect budgets, actuals, commitments and operational costs for clearer site-level financial control.
Equipment Downtime
Improve maintenance planning, asset history, work orders and equipment availability.
Fuel & Spare-Part Leakage
Improve visibility across fuel consumption, stock levels, replenishment and spare-parts usage.
Contractor Complexity
Manage contractor commitments, purchasing, costs and operational relationships in a connected environment.
Limited Production Visibility
Bring operational and financial data together for production analysis and management reporting.
Cost-Per-Tonne Blind Spots
Connect production quantities with financial and operational data to support better cost-per-tonne analysis.
Built around the way mining businesses actually operate.
Move beyond generic ERP functionality with capabilities aligned to mining finance, assets, procurement, inventory and operations.

Questions mining leaders ask before changing ERP.
Here are some of the practical questions we expect finance, operations, IT and procurement leaders to consider.
Yes. Dynamics 365 can provide the finance, supply chain, asset, procurement and reporting foundation for mining operations. The implementation should be designed around the organisation's specific operational, integration and Zambia-localisation requirements.
Integration can be designed for relevant third-party systems, including weighbridge, fleet, laboratory, geological, banking, tax and other operational applications where appropriate APIs or integration methods are available.
Zambia-specific requirements such as ZRA Smart Invoice, VAT and withholding tax should be assessed during solution design so the appropriate configuration and integration approach can be incorporated into the implementation.
Yes. The readiness assessment can consider an existing ERP, its limitations, data, integrations and business processes before recommending whether to replace, upgrade, integrate or transform the current environment.
It is an initial conversation focused on your current ERP, finance, supply chain, asset, production, reporting and integration environment. The objective is to identify priorities and potential next steps before a larger ERP project.
Business Central can be considered where the organisation's scale, complexity and requirements make it appropriate. Larger and more complex mining environments may require Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management.
