Lighthouse ERP
Coal Washeries & Logistics Industry
Simple to Use
Easy to Implement
Flexible to Customized Solution
Most coal suppliers today offer an end-to-end mine-to-plant solution that includes robust ERP for logistics and beneficiation management, ensuring timely delivery of quality-inspected coal. Accredited inspection agencies monitor the coal at multiple checkpoints to maintain standards and improve supply chain efficiency.
Coal washeries play a critical role in upgrading coal quality by removing soil, rock, and other impurities through water-based and mechanical techniques. These operations depend on efficient coal logistics to manage raw coal intake, batch washing, post-wash storage, and dispatch. However, paper-heavy processes often result in documentation delays, data loss, and inefficiencie
To overcome these challenges, an integrated ERP software for coal washeries and logistics industry is essential. It enables centralized data access, real-time tracking, and complete control over procurement, quality checks, inventory, and outbound deliveries.
Lighthouse ERP for metal and minerals offers industry-specific solutions tailored for the coal industry, combining decades of expertise with deep process mapping. It stands out as the best ERP for coal washeries, while also aligning with broader needs across metallurgical ERP solutions, ERP for scrap and recycling industries, and ERP for steel and metal industries.
Managing and tracking grade-wise coal stock across depots, washeries, and storage yards is complex, often leading to stock mismatches and reconciliation issues.
Ensuring precise tracking of the washing process, including raw coal input, WIP, and washed coal output, is crucial for quality control but often lacks real-time visibility.
Rake allocations, siding confirmations, and freight cost adjustments are often manually handled, risking demurrage charges and delivery failures.
Synchronizing inbound/outbound movement via rail, road, and sea with accurate quantity and grade information is error-prone without centralized visibility like supply chain management ERP.
Movement from mines to washeries to yards without geotagging or barcode integration causes pilferage and inventory gaps.
Calculating landed cost with dynamic elements like handling charges, demurrage, washing losses, and freight rate fluctuations requires integrated cost layers.
ERP for coal enables exact tracking of coal grade, size, and moisture levels from procurement to dispatch, improving transparency and pricing control.
Provides real-time visibility of raw coal input, WIP, and output metrics with automated yield calculation and deviation alerts.
Unified tracking of truck, rail, and vessel-based movement with route planning, TAT monitoring, and real-time location feeds. Ensuring coal logistics optimisation.
The budgeting ERP module helps in Dynamic computes landed cost with components like washing loss, freight charges, handling, insurance, and taxes.
Weighbridge Integration with ERP allows auto-captures weight data at entry/exit points; triggers live e-invoice generation, eliminating manual intervention and ensuring compliance in coal dispatch and billing processes.
Supports quantity-tire pricing, fixed period rates, escalation clauses, and customer-specific credit control with alerts, enabling precise handling of coal sales contract and credit management.
Ensuring live, grade -wise tracking and automated reconciliation of coal stock across washeries, depots, and yards, with batch-wise segmentation for accurate inventory control.
ERP tracks input, WIP, and output in real-time, ensuring coal quality and efficient washing performance through production monitoring.
ERP automates waste tracking and recovery, ensuring compliance and optimizing by-product reuse for cost efficiency.
Automates rake scheduling, tracks freight in real time and allocates costs accurately to avoid billing mismatches.
Links freight bills to GRNs and sales invoices while optimizing routes and transit times for efficient delivery managed through supply chain and freight integration.
Captures all shipment-related costs like handling, insurance, and fines, and auto-distributes them across shipments for accurate cost analysis.
Tracks finances across depots and divisions, automates internal transactions, and enables real-time cost monitoring for better profitability control.
Automates the sales cycle from inquiry to dispatch while managing delivery schedules, credit limits, and contractual tolerance rules.
Generates e-invoices automatically by linking with weighbridge data and validates them against delivery orders for accurate and error-free billing.
Implements flexible pricing models and automates credit control by managing discounts, contracts, payment terms, and credit limits in real time.
