Web and Mobile Apps for Mining

Build mining equipment inspection apps, incident reporting apps, and safety checklists that work on smartphones deep in mines

Build offline-capable apps with ease and turn the smartphone into a productivity tool.

The  unique challenges and timeliness of mining apps around worker safety, technology and vehicle tracking, and brass-in/brass-out require industry knowledge and urgency that not all vendors understand. 

The majority of work in the mining industry is done deep in the earth, where cell service and WiFi are unavailable. In this case, a mobile or web app isn't really a valid business app if it doesn't work offline.

Alpha Software has helped major mining companies and their suppliers build safety, inspection, equipment tracking and brass-in/brass-out apps that capture and deliver critical mining data anytime, anywhere.

Build Mining Apps in Minutes, Without Limits

Alpha Software products speed development for all users in mining companies. They help non-developers easily build business productivity apps, speed routine coding for experienced developers, The software has built-in genies that speed data integration, offline capability and security. But, Alpha Anywhere always gives experienced developers the ability to add code to satisfy critical enterprise security, workflow or integration requirements. We call this "coding-optional" - and it's critical for the mining industry, where key requirements must be in place to ensure worker safety and compliance.

Ask the Right Questions!

To remain competitive, mining companies must gain efficiences, save on costs, and digitize existing processes. As your organization evaluates vendors, there are key questions to ask that can save you from big costs and unwanted surprises down the line.

When you hear: "We do offline."

Understand that all "offline" capabilities are not equal. Be sure to ask: 

  • Can your solution do data synchronization and intelligent conflict resolution (aside from "last-in wins"? 

If the answer is "No," then it means your apps will likely have severe limitations that could hurt your ability to intelligently capture, store and sync data.

When you hear: "We can connect to data."

Data integration is one of the most difficult and important aspects of app development. Be sure to ask: 

  • Does your software easily connect to common data sources such as REST services, JSON Data, XML, SOAP and oData without extensive coding?

If the answer is "No," you'll likely burn a lot of time and money on data integration and security issues.

When you hear: "We're cross-platform."

Understand that responsive isn't necessarily cross-platform. Be sure to ask: 

  • Do your apps offer a native-like experience on desktops, tablets and even the smallest smartphone screens?

If the answer is "No," then customized keyboards, one-handed data entry and other outstanding smartphone user experiences will be sacrificed.

Bachir Yazbek, Head of Project Control, Zerock Construction

"Without Alpha Anywhere, I would have had to outsource development to an outside software company because we needed a sophisticated system with a strong back-end, and we couldn't have built that ourselves. But with Alpha were able to do it. We've saved at least 50% in costs and time.."
