Project Control at Scale: Automated Cost Analytics in Mining


Our Qlik Cloud solution delivers end-to-end visibility on spend and delivery timelines in capital-intensive projects.

An iron ore mining operation in northern Sweden, working in a capital-intensive industry where margins matter and delays cost money, sought better control over project costs, resource allocation, and internal reporting. The organization moved to Qlik Cloud — with full automation and robust access control built in from day one.

Challenge

Challenge

The mining company needed more than static reports — they needed answers. With multiple projects running in parallel and growing data volumes, the organization looked to improve:

  • Cost control per project and unit

  • Secure access to sensitive data, without manual workarounds

  • Reporting flows that run themselves, not reports that need chasing

Legacy tools couldn’t scale with the speed of operations or offer the granularity needed for informed financial decisions.

A modern BI setup was built using Qlik Cloud and Qlik Application Automation. The solution was tailored to enable fast, confident decision-making:

  • Custom-built apps for project cost tracking, budget vs. actuals, and drilldowns by site or category

  • Advanced Section Access models for strict control of who sees what – across teams, roles and departments

  • Automated updates and workflows to eliminate manual handling

  • Cloud-first architecture for maximum flexibility and zero infrastructure maintenance

The result is a data foundation designed for financial clarity:

  • Better control of cost drivers and project spend

  • Less time spent maintaining reports – more time acting on insights

  • Secure, scalable reporting environment with confidence in access and accuracy

  • Smarter resource planning thanks to up-to-date, role-specific dashboards

The mining company now tracks performance where it happens — and can act on what matters, when it matters.
