Solutions

Solutions describe what DMS helps you accomplish. The Products page lists what DMS can source. Each solution below shows the problem, the approach and what we typically need from you.

The problem

Building sites lose days when materials arrive late, incomplete or off specification.

DMS approach

DMS sources structural and finishing materials against your bill of quantities and coordinates delivery to the site.

Typical requirements

  • Bill of quantities or item list
  • Quantities and units
  • Technical specifications or drawings
  • Delivery location and date

Procurement process

Technical review, sourcing, quotation, approval, procurement, delivery.

The problem

Production units need consumables and technical items that are not always available locally.

DMS approach

DMS identifies suppliers for the references you specify and quotes them with lead times and documentation.

Typical requirements

  • Part numbers or references
  • Preferred brand, or equivalent accepted
  • Recurring volumes, if known
  • Technical datasheets

Procurement process

Requirement review, supplier identification, quotation, approval, procurement, document check.

The problem

Operators and contractors need supply partners who understand site requirements and documentation.

DMS approach

DMS is developing its supply capabilities for mining operators, contractors and related industrial activities. The focus is PPE, tools, maintenance supplies, electrical supplies, industrial consumables, site supplies, equipment sourcing, project procurement and technical sourcing.

Typical requirements

  • Site or contractor requirements
  • Applicable standards and documents
  • Vendor-approval requirements, if any

DMS approach

DMS sources protective equipment according to the applicable technical specification and relevant standards, and requests product documentation where available.

Typical requirements

  • Type of protection needed
  • Applicable standard, if specified
  • Sizes and quantities
  • Colour or marking requirements

Procurement process

Specification check, sourcing, quotation, approval, procurement, document check.

DMS approach

DMS sources cables, protection devices, distribution equipment and accessories against the specification provided by your engineer or installer.

Typical requirements

  • Electrical specification or schedule
  • Cable sections and lengths
  • Ratings and protection levels
  • Preferred brands

Procurement process

Technical review, sourcing, quotation, approval, procurement, document check.

The problem

Maintenance teams need the right spare or consumable quickly, often in small quantities.

DMS approach

DMS sources maintenance consumables and tools and can quote one-off or recurring requests.

Typical requirements

  • Equipment reference or photo
  • Part or consumable description
  • Urgency
  • Site location

Procurement process

Requirement review, sourcing, quotation, approval, procurement, delivery.

The problem

Vehicles, trucks and heavy equipment lose working time when tires, lubricants or the right spare are not available.

DMS approach

DMS sources tires, lubricants and fluids, filters, batteries, belts, hoses, mechanical consumables and workshop tools against your fleet list, and quotes one-off or recurring supply.

Typical requirements

  • Vehicle and equipment list (make, model, year)
  • Tire sizes, load ratings and application (road, off-road, OTR)
  • Lubricant grades and specifications, OEM or equivalent
  • Filter and part references, or photos
  • Recurring volumes and delivery schedule

Procurement process

Requirement review, sourcing, quotation, approval, procurement, delivery. Recurring supply can be quoted on a regular basis.

The problem

A project needs many item types from several suppliers, coordinated against a schedule.

DMS approach

DMS coordinates one procurement package: sourcing, quotation, supplier follow-up and delivery documentation, with one procurement contact.

Typical requirements

  • Project name and location
  • Full item list or bill of quantities
  • Delivery phasing
  • Documents required at delivery

Procurement process

The full chain, from requirement to follow-up.

Typical requirements

  • Equipment type and capacity
  • New or used, if relevant
  • Technical datasheet
  • Delivery location

Procurement process

Technical review, supplier identification, quotation, approval, procurement, logistics coordination, delivery.

The problem

Infrastructure works depend on volume, consistency and documented materials.

DMS approach

DMS coordinates supply for defined works packages such as roads, utilities and public works, with clear documentation at each stage.
