About
The customer is a mining logistics operator in Burkina Faso managing the transportation of ore and mining equipment across domestic and cross-border routes.

The Results
Challenge for the Customer
The customer faced increasing operational risk due to manual maintenance scheduling, untracked spare consumption, and limited visibility into route-level profitability. Managing cross-border compliance documentation was time-consuming and error-prone, while the absence of preventive maintenance planning led to avoidable downtime and higher operating costs.
How eresource ERP helps
eresource Transportation ERP centralized fleet, maintenance, inventory, and profitability management into a single platform. The solution introduced structured route masters with embedded compliance documentation, automated preventive maintenance schedules, and controlled workshop and spare inventory usage. Real-time reporting enabled management to monitor route performance, contract profitability, and fleet health across all operating corridors.
Difference between other ERPs and eresource ERP implementation
Unlike generic ERP systems that lack mining and cross-border logistics depth, eresource ERP is designed for fleet-intensive, compliance-driven environments. The implementation focused on practical controls such as route-level documentation, preventive maintenance discipline, inventory accountability, and trip profitability analysis. This delivered measurable operational improvements without complex customization or fragmented systems.
Outcome
The company achieved reliable, compliant, and cost-efficient mining logistics operations. Improved vehicle availability, tighter inventory control, faster compliance readiness, and clear profitability visibility strengthened operational confidence and supported sustainable growth across cross-border routes.
