Case Study: Major Mining Company achieves improved safety and productivity with Alpha Software (Alpha Anywhere)

Equipment Inspection App Collects Better Data, Works Offline and Increases Worker Safety

A major mining company relied on paper-based equipment inspections that caused time lags, data errors and increased operational risk—especially deep in mines where Wi‑Fi and cell coverage are limited. Management wanted a mobile data-collection app that would run on workers’ personal smartphones, integrate with existing systems like SAP, enable rapid work-order distribution, and be maintainable in-house despite limited internal mobile development expertise.

They chose Alpha Anywhere for its offline capability, enterprise scalability and easy integration, and worked with Alpha Software’s experts to build the app quickly. The deployed solution eliminated paper, sped inspections, improved data accuracy, enabled faster distribution of work orders, freed office staff from manual data entry and improved safety; its success drove rapid adoption and expansion of additional mobile apps across the organization.
