Reflex vs CorePlan for Drilling Contractors

CorePlan vs Reflex compared for drilling contractors

‍

What is Reflex (IMDEX)?

Reflex is a technology brand owned by IMDEX Limited, offering a variety of tech solutions to the minerals industry. IMDEX also sell a variety of surveying tools under the Reflex brand that are widely used in the industry. 

Drilling professionals tend to use the names ‘Reflex’ and ‘IMDEX’ interchangeably, but most of the time when they’re talking about Reflex software, what they’re actually referring to is their digital workflow made up of the IMDEX Mobile app and IMDEX HUB-IQ web portal, which are sold under the Reflex brand.

Reflex for drilling

Reflex offers drilling contractors reporting and analytics capabilities by capture and analysis of drilling data to deliver insights and produce reports.

Reflex’s workflow begins with the driller using the mobile app to capture their data, which is consolidated into HUB-IQ for analysis and sharing. 

IMDEX-HUB IQ works as an online web portal for drilling supervisors to validate their field data, but it was also built to accommodate a wider set of industry needs outside of drilling businesses. For example, it also connects with Seequent for 3D modelling for your geo’s side of the workflow, plus it connects up with a range of Reflex-built tools that collect data from down the hole.

‍

Can you invoice clients and pay staff using Reflex?

Reflex does not currently offer invoicing functionality on HUB-IQ. So, admin teams will need to arrange another system to charge their clients and have a data management plan in place to ensure that their invoices match the latest versions of the data and cost contract. 

There is also no built-in timesheet feature or add-on, so you’d need another system to manage payroll.
