Mining

Mining is an industry that has long depended on SAP ERP solutions to form the backbone of successful operations.

Birchman has been working in the mining industry for over 20 years. We recognised that SAP was the dominant ERP solution in the mining sector, with most of the top 50 mining companies in the world using it.

Birchman also recognised mining as a unique industry with unique requirements. Located in some of the most remote areas in the world, the industry struggled with supply chain issues, complicated logistics and lengthy lead times.
