Datamine

  • Datamine publishes no price, no licence term and no named cost driver; the planning pages route buyers to a consultation or a sales contact form
  • The portfolio is split into many separate products across strategy, design, scheduling, blasting, survey and production, so a complete workflow requires assembling several licences
  • Products acquired from other vendors, including Minemax Scheduler and Minemax Tempo, are now sold inside Datamine bundles rather than standalone

HERE WeGo

  • HERE WeGo is a free navigation app whose public transport guidance covers only more than 1,900 named cities worldwide, per the developer's own App Store description; other regions rely on driving/walking directions and offline maps only.
