What people ask before they switch.

CPL is a production logging app for open-cast mining. It captures loads by the hour, machine hours, downtime and diesel, and turns them into the shift report, the daily tracker and the dashboards a site is run on. It replaces the paper logsheet and the spreadsheet behind it.

Everyone between the pit and the boardroom. Tally clerks capture each hour. Shift supervisors watch the pace and approve the shift. Mine managers follow the day and the month against plan. Engineering sees availability, downtime and diesel. Each role opens on its own board.

Windows today, with Android, iPhone, iPad and macOS on the way. The buttons on this site become download links as each one arrives. It is the same app at every size, from a control-room monitor to a phone.

Your organisation’s administrator invites you by email. There is no sign-up in the app, because CPL is supplied to organisations and not to the public. If your site does not use CPL yet, talk to us.

CPL is supplied under an agreement with your organisation. Tell us about your sites and we will give you a quote.

Yes. Every capture is saved on the device first and sent when a connection returns, so a dead zone delays the sync and never the work. The app shows whether it is synced or working offline.

No. CPL works the shift out from the clock and the site: Day runs 06:00 to 18:00 and Night 18:00 to 06:00. A shift is started when the crew starts capturing, and closed out with the machines’ closing readings and a supervisor’s approval.

Each load counts for the BCM figure your site has set for that material and machine, so the clerk only counts loads. The shift’s target is the site’s rate multiplied by the shift’s productive hours and the loading units on the sheet.

An hour with nothing recorded reads 0 by itself. A load can be taken off, and an earlier hour can be filled in afterwards; the record shows when it was entered and by whom. Once a shift is approved, changing it takes someone with the right to correct it.

Yes. Captures from different devices land on the same sheet, and when the devices are online each sees the other’s changes within moments.

Dozers, graders, water trucks and other support machines are captured by their hour meters: an opening and a closing reading, and what the machine was doing. Downtime is logged against any machine, with its cause.

As soon as the device in the pit has a connection. Dashboards and reports are built from the same captures, so nobody types the shift up afterwards.

A shift report with production by hour, by material and by machine, downtime and diesel, which exports to PDF, Word or an image. An hourly report formatted to paste into WhatsApp. A daily machine report of hour meters. And the daily tracker of the month against plan.

Yes. A month is planned by material and spread across its days, and each shift is then measured against it. Where no plan is filed, the shift is measured against what the site’s rate allows.

An administrator in your organisation, in the app’s Settings: sites and their shift hours and rates, the fleet by machine type, and people with their roles and sites.

Only the people your administrator invites, and each of them only the sites and functions their role allows. That is enforced in the database itself, not only on the screen.

A working copy is kept on each device so the app works offline, and it is synchronised over an encrypted connection to a cloud database we run for your organisation. The Privacy Policy sets out the detail.

Yes. Every figure keeps a history of who entered it, on which device, and who changed it afterwards. An approved shift is locked.

No. CPL does not read your location, contacts or photos, and it carries no advertising and no tracking.

It is your organisation’s data. When an agreement ends we return it or delete it on your instruction.

On Windows, CPL checks for a new version by itself and installs it; the What’s new page says what changed. A release that every device must be on is required before the app can be used again, so that everyone works on the same version of the data.

Email us or use the contact form on customeapps.com. Quote the app version and install ID from Settings, About this install, and we can find your device.
