Mineware Consulting

What Mineware Consulting does

Mineware Consulting (Pty) Ltd, founded in 2000 in South Africa, develops Syncromine — an integrated, web-based mine management software platform that consolidates production planning, safety, survey, ore accounting, planned maintenance, and bonus calculations into a single real-time environment accessible on-site or remotely. The platform is modular (Production Management, Survey, Sampling, Ore Accounting, Safety Suite, Planned Maintenance, Bonus System, Control Room) and is built on a .Net / C# / SQL stack with Xamarin for mobile, integrating with Scada, ERP (SAP), and survey instruments from Leica and Topcon. Recent AI-augmented capabilities include a computer-vision OCR engine trained for harsh underground conditions (converting handwritten safety documents into structured data in under 30 seconds) and an AI-assisted risk model in the Safety Suite, alongside a new offline-capable Geology Boreholes System.

The company sells exclusively to enterprise mining operators — blue-chip gold, platinum, diamond, chrome, and diversified miners including Sibanye Stillwater, Barrick, AngloAmerican, Gold Fields, Implats, De Beers, Petra Diamonds, and Teck — through a consultative, on-site field-sales motion with phased implementation, training, and ongoing support. Revenue is generated via SaaS subscriptions, term and perpetual on-premise licenses, recurring maintenance and support, and professional services (implementation, training, custom development at per diem rates). In February 2026, Mineware was acquired by Datamine Group, expanding operational reach to more than 20 countries; the company remains headquartered in Lanseria, Johannesburg with an R&D centre in Stellenbosch and is ISO 9001:2015 certified.
