Managing large-scale mining projects across multiple continents demands complete visibility into costs, resources, and budgets. Operating with legacy systems created blind spots that led to cost overruns and delayed decision-making.
This case study examines how a globally recognized underground mining contractor addressed these challenges by migrating from a fragmented ERP environment to a unified system powered by Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and ProjectPro. By consolidating project accounting, job costing, progress billing, and labor tracking into a single platform, the company transformed how it controls costs and manages projects.
By implementing Business Central and ProjectPro, the company achieved:
- 100% real-time budget visibility with live dashboards for cost tracking and project status
- Elimination of manual reconciliation across labor, equipment, materials, and subcontractor costs
- Standardized cost code structure ensuring consistent allocation across multi-site operations
- Automated progress billing and retention tracking aligned with project milestones
What you’ll learn in this case study:
- Why legacy systems fail to deliver visibility on complex, multi-site mining projects
- How to migrate from disconnected systems to a unified project accounting platform
- Ways ProjectPro delivers construction-specific functionality on Business Central
- How real-time job costing prevents cost overruns and improves margin control
- The impact of integrated workflows on efficiency, accuracy, and decision-making
- How standardized cost codes and project segregation prevent cross-project cost overlap
- Implementation best practices for a structured, low-risk migration
