GAIN VISIBILITY
Non-Operators suffer from the use of non-industry finance applications that require extensive manipulation of data. While these applications can be cheaper upfront, they become expensive when management time and manual intervention is taken into consideration. The alternative is highly expensive, complex legacy industry applications. The Lumos 365 platform provides a best-of-breed, finance and reporting solution that is tailored for the mining sector. Lumos 365 Finance provides a customisable Chart of Accounts template and reporting dimensions such as WBS, Bill code, License & Budget Line. Gain the visibility you need of your investments by reporting through our Management Reporting and Analytics module.
ENSURE COMPLIANCE
The license to explore imposes significant contractual obligations on both the non-operator and operator. These relate to Local Content and local tax regulations. A breach of these obligations can result in significant penalties for the joint venture or consortium companies. The Lumos 365 Management Reporting and Analytics module will facilitate clear reporting on operational matters affecting compliance to ensure that cash investments contribute to production not penalties. The Lumos 365 platform will help ensure compliance with regulatory policies, such as local content and taxation through correct tax code allocations as part of our standard best practice templates.
MINIMISE LIFE OF MINE DISRUPTION
Often a Non-Operator will transition to an Operator and scale down after divestment. Lumos 365 is a single, modular and scalable platform that eases this transition across the life of mine. It enables you to move seamlessly from exploration through exploration, discovery, development, to extraction and back again. For example, the system can easily be extended from finance, to supply chain and asset management, as you move from exploration to extraction. This modular approach allows for penalty free up and downscaling in accordance with your current status with minimal to no disruption.
STRENGTHEN CONTROLS
Non-Operators need strong controls that maximise the efficiency of the business processes and help you gain a clear understanding of your business performance through the measurement of key metrics. The Lumos 365 platform benefits from many features such as WBS management, budget checking and contract spend monitoring. It has in-built best of breed workflows to support these activities from a process and productivity perspective. For example, the Lumos 365 Management Reporting and Analytics module provides customisable templates with online, up-to-date key business metrics such as ‘Spend by WBS’ in dashboards and drill down data reports.
INCREASE AGILITY AND SCALABILITY
Volatility drives M&A activity in the market. This requires your Finance and Supply Chain systems to be agile, scalable and free your business from applications and systems that are no longer fit for purpose, cost effective or support your M&A strategy. The Lumos 365 platform provides a single, modular and scalable platform with rapid deployment. The platform can easily be extended from finance, to supply chain and asset management, as you move from exploration to development, to extraction. This modular approach allows for penalty free up and downscaling in accordance with your strategy with minimal time and business disruption.

HOW OUR CLOUD PLATFORM WORKS
From exploration to reclamation, the Lumos 365 platform addresses and overcomes the challenges you face at every stage of the life of mine plan. Cutting costs. Maximising efficiency. Extending agility. Our platform powers your processes, adding more value to your business.
ACQUIRE
Retrieving critical information from disparate systems with poor connectivity. Structuring financial master data. Extracting reports from acquired assets for analysis. Migrating financial and operational data. Utilising modules designed specifically to meet these challenges, our platform cuts cost, time and risk. MORE
EXPLORE
With a license granted, the need to structure, capture and manage a whole new raft of activities becomes imperative. Our modules create a sound financial supply chain system, laying the foundation for operational excellence moving forward to development and operation. MORE
DISCOVER
Getting a clear picture when spend visibility is poor. Retrieving, collating and exchanging information with third party service companies. Extracting and analysing management reports. It’s time and labour intensive. Our modules enable fast and easy spend tracking and data collaboration. MORE
DEVELOP
Managing significant CAPEX expenditure, JV / consortium partners, cost recovery, HSE, budgets and reporting creates the need to extend supply chain functionality to support and optimise the field development plan and sourcing. Our modules do just that, making management straightforward. MORE
EXTRACT
This is where the foundations built earlier in the life of mine plan with our platform really drive operational excellence. Poor control, recording and tracking of CAPEX, OPEX and G&A spend. Delayed delivery, poor sourcing, resources wastage and profit leakages. Compromised asset reliability and integrity. Lack of insights to support decision making. Our modules overcome every challenge. MORE
CLOSE
Cost-effective and efficient collation and aggregation of all asset data (contracts, compliance, financial, supply chain and plant) is critical. Our modules bring all this data together to maximise abandonment efficiency, save executive time and support due diligence. MORE
RECLAIM
The entire Lumos 365 platform can be utilised to manage and support the reclamation project enjoying the same benefits available during the operational life of the mine. MORE
