Small-to-mid-size open-pit and underground mines run on paper, radios, and whiteboards — not because they want to, but because the alternative costs $150K–$500K+ for enterprise fleet management systems like CAT MineStar or Modular/Pitram. That pricing assumes massive operations with hundreds of trucks and the IT infrastructure to match.
LFMS is purpose-built for the mines that enterprise vendors ignore. It runs on $350 Samsung Galaxy Tab Active5 tablets — IP68 rugged, glove-touch capable, sunlight-readable — with zero infrastructure requirements. No Wi-Fi access points. No cellular towers. No server rooms. Tablets communicate directly with each other via Wi-Fi Direct mesh networking.
The result: a fully digital fleet management system that deploys in weeks instead of months, runs on hardware your operators can drop in mud, and costs a fraction of what the enterprise vendors charge — without sacrificing the cycle tracking, dispatch, and reporting capabilities your operation actually needs.
Wi-Fi Direct mesh networking. Tablets talk to each other peer-to-peer. No access points, no repeaters, no cellular. Equipment moves, the network moves with it. Works in open pits, underground headings, and everywhere in between — anywhere two tablets can see each other.
Works with CAT, Komatsu, Sandvik, Epiroc, Liebherr, Hitachi — any manufacturer, any model. LFMS is not locked to a single OEM ecosystem. Mount a tablet, configure the cycle, and the equipment is online. Mixed fleets are the default, not an expensive add-on.
Every module is production-ready out of the box but fully configurable to match your operation — equipment types, workflows, form templates, and dispatch logic are all configuration, not custom code.
LFMS isn't a logistics app with a mining skin. It was designed from the ground up around how mines actually operate — shift handovers, mixed fleets, no connectivity, and operators in gloves.
$350/tablet vs $1K–$5K proprietary hardware. Software-only on standard Android devices. Weeks to deploy vs months of integration. No proprietary network infrastructure. No multi-year lock-in contracts.
Enterprise FMS is built for 200-truck operations with dedicated IT staff. LFMS is built for the 15–60 equipment sites that need digital fleet management without the enterprise overhead.
Digital cycle records with automatic timestamps. Automated tonnage tracking from load to dump. Shift reports generated automatically — no end-of-shift paperwork. Instant visibility for management without calling the pit.
Every cycle, every form, every dispatch decision is recorded. The data that was invisible on paper becomes the foundation for continuous improvement.
Open dispatch API. Mixed fleet support across every OEM. No manufacturer lock-in. Your engineering team owns the dispatch algorithms — not the vendor.
When you buy a CAT system, you run CAT's way. LFMS gives you the tools and the API — your team decides how dispatch works, what cycles look like, and which algorithms run your operation.
Kotlin and Jetpack Compose on Samsung Galaxy Tab Active5. IP68 rugged, glove-touch, sunlight-readable. Standard Android — no proprietary hardware.
ASP.NET Core 8 with SQL Server. Docker Compose for deployment. Same images run cloud SaaS, single-tenant, or fully on-premise.
React and TypeScript with Tailwind CSS. Leaflet-based mine maps with real-time equipment positions, geofence visualization, and road network overlay.
Same container images for every deployment model. Cloud SaaS for multi-site operators. Single-tenant for data sovereignty. Fully on-premise for air-gapped sites.
Whether you're running 15 trucks on paper or 60 machines across multiple pits, LFMS scales to fit. Talk to us about what deployment looks like for your site.
