Streamline contract management with optimized processes and systems

Overview

The mining industry is subject to numerous regulations and compliance requirements, which vary by location. Managing contracts and contractors in compliance with these regulations can be challenging and requires constant monitoring and adaptation. Supply chain disruptions, geological uncertainties and market fluctuations can all be highly disruptive in engagements with contractors and bring inherent risks.

With increasing regulations for mining companies to operate in accordance with environmental and safety standards, provisions for responsible sourcing, emissions reduction, community engagement and safe working environments need to be specified with contractors.

To simplify contracts and contractor management, which can be a complex process, many mining companies are now leveraging data analytics and machine learning to analyze historical contract and contractor performance data to make better decisions.
