Revenue model

1. Software Licensing — GEOVIA Product Sales: ACALA resells Dassault Systèmes GEOVIA software products (Surpac, Whittle, MineSched, Minex) as an official partner. Revenue is generated through software license sales, with licensing administered via Dassault Systèmes License Server (DSLS) supporting local node lock, network concurrent, and managed cloud deployment options. Software is packaged as Roles (not modules), and licensing is available for commercial and academic users.
2. Professional Services — Mining Consulting: ACALA provides fee-for-service mining consulting including exploration activities, due diligence and project reviews, mineral asset valuation, resource estimation, open pit and underground mine design and planning, planning and optimization, mining economics, and comprehensive mining studies. These are project-based engagements typically for enterprise mining clients.
3. Training & Certification Programs: ACALA delivers instructor-led training programs across multiple formats: online training, classroom training, 1-on-1 coaching, face-to-face training, and onsite corporate training. Programs cover GEOVIA Surpac, Whittle, MineSched, and Minex. Every participant receives completion certificates from ACALA and Dassault Systèmes. Training is available for individuals, teams, and organizations, and is a key demand-generation and revenue stream.
4. Academic License Program: ACALA supports GEOVIA's Academic License Program, which provides free or reduced-cost software licenses to educational institutions. This program builds future customer pipeline by equipping students with industry-standard GEOVIA skills. While primarily a partnership activity, it generates potential future revenue through academic-to-commercial conversion.

Direct peers

• Maptek: Maptek sells Vulcan, a 3D geology and mine planning software suite that competes head-to-head with GEOVIA Surpac, MineSched and Minex for the same mining engineering and resource estimation workflows. It is named as an integration counterpart in Acala's Minex implementation, underscoring direct overlap in mine planning technology.
• CSA Global (ERM): CSA Global, now part of ERM, provides independent mining consulting and resource estimation services to international banks and ASX-listed miners. It overlaps directly with Acala's due diligence and mineral asset valuation offerings across Australia and Southeast Asia.
• SRK Consulting: SRK is a global independent mining consultancy offering resource estimation, due diligence, and mine design services aligned with JORC and other codes. It is a direct competitor to Acala's consulting arm for bankable feasibility and Competent Person reports.
• MICROMINE: MICROMINE is an Australian-headquartered mining software vendor with Pitram, Resource Estimation, and other modules that directly compete with GEOVIA for geological modeling, mine design and production scheduling. It pursues the same Indonesia-Australia mining customer base that Acala serves.
• AMC Consultants: AMC Consultants is an Australian mining consultancy delivering due diligence, mine planning, and feasibility studies. It is a direct peer to Acala's consulting practice, particularly for assignments involving Australian-listed miners with Indonesian assets.
• RPMGlobal: RPMGlobal (formerly Runge Pincock Minarco) combines mining consulting with its own mine planning and scheduling software (incl. XPAS, Dispatch). It competes directly with Acala for independent due-diligence mandates and software-enabled mine planning engagements across the Asia-Pacific region.
• Datamine Software: Datamine offers Studio NPVS, MineSched-equivalent scheduling tools and resource estimation software that compete with the GEOVIA portfolio. It targets the same enterprise mining clients for geological modeling and strategic/pit optimization work.
• Optiro: Optiro (formed via the merger of Snowden and Optiro) is an independent mining consultancy specializing in resource and reserve estimation, geometallurgy, and due diligence. It directly competes with Acala's mineral asset valuation and resource estimate service lines.

Broad incumbents

• Hexagon Mining: Hexagon Mining bundles mine planning, fleet management and geological tools as part of a broader industrial technology portfolio. As a large incumbent in mining software, it competes with the GEOVIA stack Acala distributes for mine design and operations visibility.
• Dassault Systèmes (GEOVIA): Dassault Systèmes owns the GEOVIA software franchise and 3DEXPERIENCE platform that Acala resells, trains, and implements. While technically Acala's strategic vendor, Dassault also engages directly with major accounts, making it both the enabler and an indirect competitor.
