MINING CONTRACTORS AND ENGINEERING FIRMS
Your best diesel mechanics did not train for years to search filing cabinets for a schematic.
Manual maintenance logs, paper-based inspection records, and physical pre-start checklists are draining the hours your most skilled people should be spending on machines.

THE DAILY COST
Paper records that cost more than you know.
Every hour a skilled technician spends chasing a maintenance log or searching for an inspection record is an hour not spent on the machine. At scale, across hundreds of assets and dozens of staff, that cost compounds daily.
Pre-start checklists
Daily operator forms filed by hand, unindexed, unfindable when an auditor or insurer asks for the last six months of records.
Parts requisitions
Paper approvals that sit on desks, delay procurement, and hold up billable work while the machine stands idle.
Maintenance history
Equipment service records scattered across files, people, and memory. Not a searchable system. A liability when the mine audits your operation.
HOW REPRO SOLVES IT
From scattered records to a system that keeps up.
We digitise your workshop records and build a live system that tracks equipment histories, maintenance schedules, inspection records, and operator certifications, so every document is findable in seconds and every expiry is flagged before it becomes a problem.
Digitise the backlog
Existing maintenance logs, inspection records, operator certificates, and equipment histories captured and indexed using Ricoh fi-Series scanning hardware. Mixed media handled cleanly including worn documents and carbonless forms.
Automate the requisition
Parts requests raised digitally by the technician, routed automatically to the technical manager and stores manager for approval. Every request visible in real time. No paper. No desk pile. No chasing.
Search and retrieve instantly
Any authorised engineer or manager finds a machine’s complete maintenance history in seconds, from any device, on site or in the office. Serial numbers, service dates, inspection records, all in one searchable system.
Govern the archive
Retention rules and access controls applied automatically. Full audit trail of who accessed what and when. Satisfies both mining house vendor audits and Data Protection Act requirements at the same time.

If your maintenance records, inspection logs, and operator certificates are scattered across physical files and shared drives, the cost is already visible in the hours your team spends not working on machines.
