CorePlan vs Krux: What's the difference?

Explore powerful features that outperform Krux.

The Challenge

As a Junior, Viking Mines relies on a network of contractors to run their drill programs. However, each drilling cycle presented the challenge of quickly onboarding contractors and ensuring consistency in execution and data capture. Managing Director Julian Woodcock spent extra time running a manual onboarding process and struggled with inconsistencies due to contractors' previous habits and processes from other sites.

‍

The Solution

Viking Mines needed a brand new workflow that would keep everyone on the same page.

It had to be:

• repeatable so that Julian could use it between different contractors and field seasons.
• structured to resolve the inconsistencies in drill program execution between the different contractors.
• trackable to make it easy for Julian to see exactly what was happening in the field and follow up where required.

This way, Julian could achieve the same results - with any contractor.

How Viking Mines used CorePlan to do this - and more

Julian decided to implement CorePlan’s drill program management software to address these challenges and requirements.

Using CorePlan, Viking Mines gained an instant, structured workflow that made it clear who needed to do what, when it needed to be done, what data needed to be captured, and in what format.

This saved Julian stacks of time developing a new process from the ground up himself, and created a single source of truth for the entire team to consult to execute and manage all aspects of the drill program. Julian could easily track performance and manage his team through the end-to-end drilling workflow, gaining visibility into real-time data and making timely decisions.

The result? Improved communication, collaboration, efficiency, accuracy, and a greater chance of making a meaningful discovery.
