arrow_circle_right Custom geospatial analytics platform for mining
Turn fragmented mine data into decisions
A custom geospatial analytics platform that brings together your drone surveys, satellite imagery, mine planning systems, and operational data – all within a single cloud-native source of truth, built around your workflows.
arrow_circle_right Pain points
Are these challenges slowing your operation down?
Mining and quarrying operations generate more geospatial data than ever before – yet many organisations still struggle to turn it into usable insight.
Data silos between geology, operations, and ESG
Your mine planning software, drone surveys, satellite imagery, and ERP systems sit in separate environments. Building a consolidated, up-to-date view of your site requires hours of manual effort – if it happens at all.
Drone and LiDAR data with no scalable pipeline
You run surveys regularly, but the data still ends up as disconnected files. There is no automated, cloud-based process from flight to insight, and comparing results over time remains manual.
No web-based view for non-technical stakeholders
Geologists and engineers work inside tools such as Hexagon, Deswik, or Vulcan. Meanwhile, HSE managers, ESG leads, and board members lack access to a current spatial view of site performance without additional licences or manual exports.
Growing pressure to prove ESG credentials with real data
Investors, regulators, and local communities increasingly expect evidence-based environmental reporting. Manually combining satellite change detection, reclamation progress, and water quality data is unsustainable at scale.
Integrating national mapping data is harder than it should be
OS MasterMap, Environment Agency layers, and planning boundaries all need to be combined with your operational data. Doing this reliably requires specialist expertise and ongoing maintenance.
Legacy tools can’t keep pace with modern geospatial volumes
As point clouds, high-resolution orthomosaics, and multi-temporal imagery grow in size and complexity, desktop GIS environments struggle to keep up – slowing down critical decisions.
arrow_circle_right OUR SOLUTION
A geospatial analytics platform shaped around the way mining actually works
Off-the-shelf GIS platforms are built for general use. Mine planning suites are built for engineers.
We design and build a layer that brings these perspectives together: a custom geospatial analytics platform shaped around your workflows and data sources.
It integrates your existing systems, automates the pipeline from survey to insight, and delivers the right spatial view to the right stakeholder – in a browser, without specialist training.
Unified spatial data layer – one source of truth for your entire operation
We build the integration layer above your existing mine planning environment – whether you’re running Hexagon MinePlan, Deswik, Maptek Vulcan, or a custom stack – connecting it with drone surveys, satellite imagery, IoT feeds and corporate systems into a single, versioned data environment.
Automated drone and LiDAR data pipelines
From flight to platform in hours, not days. We build end-to-end cloud processing pipelines that ingest survey data, run photogrammetry and point cloud processing, and calculate stockpile volumes and surface change metrics. Outputs are then published directly into your platform and reporting tools. Each campaign follows a consistent, auditable process, without manual intervention.
GeoAI for safety, environmental monitoring, and compliance
Our machine learning models – trained on your own imagery and validated against ground truth – detect slope instability, unauthorised access zones, vegetation change, erosion, and water runoff patterns. The platform continuously monitors your operational footprint, flags anomalies, and feeds structured outputs directly into your ESG and safety reporting workflows.
Role-based web dashboards for every stakeholder
A modern, web-based interface that gives each team the spatial view it needs, without requiring a GIS licence or specialist training. Site managers access daily operational summaries. HSE teams monitor real-time hazard overlays. ESG directors track reclamation progress against targets. The board measures performance across all sites on a single map – all from a browser.
arrow_circle_right ESG reporting that runs on data, not spreadsheets
Regulators, investors, and local communities are asking more detailed questions about your environmental footprint, and expectations for evidence-based reporting continue to rise.
Our platform automates data collection, spatial analysis, and structured outputs that underpin credible ESG reporting. This includes vegetation change around your operational boundary, water quality indicators linked to site activity, and reclamation progress tracked against permitted targets.
Every metric is tied to a timestamped, auditable spatial dataset, not a manually compiled spreadsheet that cannot be reproduced next quarter.

arrow_circle_right OUR STRENGTHS
Why we are the right fit for your operation
We’re not a mining software vendor. We’re a geospatial technology partner, and that distinction matters when you need a solution that works the way you operate, rather than one you have to adapt to.
Deep-rooted UK geospatial expertise
Our long-term technical partnerships with Ordnance Survey and membership of the Earth Observation Data Hub programme mean we understand the UK geospatial data landscape – its sources, standards, and constraints. This translates into faster integration and fewer unexpected issues.
No vendor lock-in
We design open, cloud-native architectures that work alongside your existing mining software. Whether you use Esri, open-source GIS, or a custom stack, we build around your environment – not ours.
Production-grade GeoAI, not proofs of concept
Our AI/ML models are deployed in production environments. From automated crop-monitoring platforms for agricultural robotics to environmental change-detection systems for land managers, we have a track record of delivering GeoAI at production scale.
Built for complex, regulated environments
Mining platforms handle sensitive site data, security classifications, and environmental obligations. We build solutions that meet enterprise requirements for security, data governance, and auditability from the outset.
A team that understands both geospatial and engineering
Our geospatial architects, data engineers, ML specialists, and UX designers work as one team. This ensures your platform is coherent, performant, and genuinely usable, not a collection of disconnected components.

arrow_circle_right Success stories
Transforming Earth observation data into actionable insight
For the UK Space Agency, in collaboration with the UK Research Institute and other partners, we delivered EO Pro – a powerful web app for visualising and analysing land surface data. As part of the wider Earth Observation DataHub programme, EO Pro includes “slippy-map” features and tools to browse, select, compare, and process datasets. Spyrosoft provided end-to-end delivery, from product design and requirements to development, QA, and geospatial expertise.
arrow_circle_right FAQ
Common questions from operations and IT teams
No – we build a layer above your mine planning tools, not a replacement for them. Your planning systems remain the system of record for geology and mine design. Our platform adds integration, analytics and stakeholder-facing views that those systems weren’t designed to provide.
We design platforms to meet enterprise security requirements, including data sovereignty, role-based access control, audit logging, and compliance with relevant UK and EU regulations. We’re happy to discuss your specific requirements in a discovery call.
A focused initial deployment, covering core data integration, a drone pipeline, and a stakeholder dashboard, typically takes 3–6 months. We work iteratively, so you’ll see working software well before full go-live.
This is where we typically add the most value. We design platforms that are maintained and operated by operational teams, not just specialists. We can also provide ongoing support and development as your needs evolve.
