Software and automation in Puerto San Julián
Puerto San Julián is the services hub of central Santa Cruz gold and silver mining. Around the mine there is a fabric of supplier SMEs (transport, maintenance, earthmoving, catering, security) with administration on paper, and provincial and mine-run programs pushing to add local suppliers. That is the segment we work with.
The profile of a mining supplier
- Mine entry is the process that orders everything. Staff, equipment and insurance clearances, loaded on the operation's platform, with rejections that leave a crew outside.
- Staff work on site, far from the office. Time tracking needs geolocated clock-in, not a clock on the wall.
- Fleet and equipment rotate. Usage hours, fuel and maintenance end up scattered across notebooks and messages.
- Margin per contract is unknown. Without cost charged per contract and per machine, profitability is a month-end surprise.
The full detail of what we do for this segment is on the industry page: software for mining and mining suppliers.
How we work from Madryn
We are based in Puerto Madryn and serve Santa Cruz remotely, with trips when the project calls for it. For administrative automation, dashboards and integrations, distance is no limitation: rollout happens over video calls and support over WhatsApp. There are local-supplier development and funding programs that help take on an implementation, and we help fit it in.
