The problem

Mining companies report on SLP and Mining Charter commitments every year: employment equity, skills development, local economic development (LED), procurement, downscaling, financial provision and ownership. This information usually sits in separate spreadsheets kept by HR, training, LED, procurement and finance teams. That leads to:

  • Figures copied by hand into annual reports and statutory forms
  • Totals that can't easily be traced back to the people or documents behind them
  • Evidence scattered across email and shared drives, with no clear record of who changed what
  • Group managers struggling to see compliance across several operations and two different reporting periods
  • Last-minute rushes to prepare files for audits and submissions

The Mining Charter follows a calendar year, while each operation has its own SLP year — adding another layer to group-level reporting.

What Drivatic built

One secure platform where each team captures its own records, such as employees, learners, LED projects, suppliers and spend, ownership and beneficiation details. The system then works out the compliance figures itself.

Users pick a company, operation, reporting year and workforce group, and every dashboard, register and report updates to match. Every figure can be opened to see the named individuals and evidence behind it.

Annual reports, statutory forms and the Mining Charter report are generated from the same data and can be exported to Word or spreadsheets. Evidence is stored securely, locked once uploaded and kept in a full activity history. Access is controlled by role, company and operation. The app works on phones and tablets and can be installed like a desktop app.
