About The Customer
La Mancha Resources is a global gold mining company with significant projects in both Australia and Africa. The company employs 150 on-site workers in Australia, with another 10 employees based in a corporate office in Perth. Classed as a small-to-medium sized gold producer in Australia, it operates both an underground and open cut mine just outside of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. Founded in 2006, La Mancha Resources Australia began as a small mining company focusing on exploration but in only three years it was being commissioned for larger production projects. At this point in time, it was clear to the business that it needed to place a greater focus on implementing systems in order to operate more efficiently. In July of 2009, the company installed Scope System’s Mining Enterprise Resource Management (ERP) system to track and report on company data.
The Challenge
La Mancha Resources Australia, a gold mining company, was facing several challenges. The month-end and year-end reporting process was time-consuming, and there was little transparency on the allocation of costs. Some departments were not fully utilizing the existing systems. The company had implemented an ERP system in 2009 to track and report on company data. However, they wanted to leverage their data to enable decision-making through reporting and analytics. They began evaluating several data extraction and reporting tools.
The Solution
La Mancha Resources Australia implemented QlikView in January 2011. It currently has 25 named users with full access to the product, as well as five read-only users who can each access one dashboard relevant to their department. The product was selected for its ease of use, rapid time to deployment and flexibility. One of the key benefits of QlikView is that data could be extracted from any database, not just an ERP system. There are no limits to where you can source the data from. As part of the initial implementation process, Williams was responsible for training company staff. Despite scheduling a 30-minute training session with each employee, they only needed about 10 to 15 minutes each, and then they were able to explore the product on their own.
