Custom software

Software for the job your site actually does.

We replace the workbook a process runs on with a web application, and run AI models on hardware at your site where the data cannot leave it. Built by the engineers behind seven mining products.

A server rack with patch panels and network cables.

The problem

Some problems on a mine site have no product. The workaround becomes part of the operation.

  • No product on the market covers the problem
  • The process runs on a workbook one person keeps alive
  • Public AI tools send site data to servers you do not control

What we do

  • Web applications that replace the workbook a process runs on, on your servers or in the cloud
  • Connected read-only to the data you already have: spreadsheets, reports and historians
  • AI models that read shift reports, logs and spreadsheets on hardware at your site, working offline
  • An audit record for every AI output: its input, the model version and the person who approved it
  • Work that generalises can become a product: CrewCarry began as a commission for West African Resources

How it runs

  1. Diagnostic

    Fixed scope and price.

    You get the problem in writing, an acceptance test and a priced next step. All three are yours to keep, even if you stop here.

  2. Prototype

    Built on a copy of your data, not on your live systems.

    It has to pass the acceptance test from the diagnostic before anything goes to site.

  3. Site deployment

    Installed on your network and signed off by your IT.

    You get a runbook and two named owners on opposite rotations, so each rotation has an owner.

  4. Support

    Once the system is running, support continues on a retainer.

    System-down incidents get a 24/7 response.

  5. Training and handover

    Both rotation crews are trained, not only the one on shift at handover.

    Training materials are in the site’s language.

Every phase ends in a go/no-go decision.

What clients say

  • “We commissioned Minebright to work with our business to develop a travel management system, replacing our existing excel worksheet. The team at Minebright have been proactive in their endeavours to develop a user friendly and modern web-application. Our scope of work required a system which supports our employees and allows for a streamlined travel, and interactive / approval system which has now been achieved. We will continue to work with Minebright to enhance and expand the functionality to include performance management.”

    Libby Mounsey

    Executive Director of Human Resources, West African Resources

  • “We have worked with Minebright on several projects; throughout the development process the Minebright team was very collaborative, and quick to respond to any changes requested. We will surely continue to work with them in the future helping us streamline and improve our processes and procedures.”

Frequently asked questions

What is Minebright’s custom software service?

Minebright’s custom software service builds software for mining problems no product covers. We replace the workbook a process runs on with a web application, on your servers or in the cloud, connected read-only to the data you already have. Where site data cannot leave site, AI models run on hardware at your site, working offline.

Can Minebright replace a spreadsheet that a process depends on?

Yes. When a process runs on a workbook one person keeps alive, Minebright replaces it with a web application, on your servers or in the cloud. The prototype is built on a copy of your data, not on your live systems, and has to pass the acceptance test from the diagnostic before anything goes to site.

Can Minebright run AI models on our own site, offline?

Yes. AI models that read shift reports, logs and spreadsheets run on hardware at your site and keep working when the site link drops. Every AI output gets an audit record: its input, the model version and the person who approved it.

Can a custom software project become a product?

Yes. Work that generalises can become a product: CrewCarry began as a commission for West African Resources and is now one of Minebright’s seven mining products.
