André Neumeyer, Kamoa Copper: Kamoa Copper is a copper mining company situated in the DRC [Democratic Republic of the Congo], where we discovered one of the largest ore bodies on the copper belt. [We’re] currently on track to be the second largest copper mining company in the world at some of the highest grades.
The functions that primarily use Anaplan within our business are the mining function, processing function, as well as the finance function. Our key Anaplan use cases are budgeting, forecasting, and actuals reporting.
Before Anaplan, our budget consolidation and reporting process took us five days. Since the implementation, we've got that down to around three hours.
We were only able to run one scenario every five days. We can now run three scenarios every day, essentially giving us 15 scenarios for every five days.
Because we've integrated our mine plan and our shipped-cost model, we now have our finance team and our mine planning team collaborating over real-time data. We now have data that we can trust [to] make the best decisions for the business.
What I like most about Anaplan is it gives me flexibility. It allows me to be creative in finance and give solutions to problems in a way that hasn't been seen before. Anaplan will help us achieve a real-time view of revenue, operating costs, and, at the end of the day, the bottom line.
I'm André Neumeyer, Superintendent, Financial Planning and Analysis at Kamoa Copper, and we plan with Anaplan.
