MINING + ENERGY · PHILIPPINES

Custom site-operations, compliance, and reporting systems for Philippine mining and energy companies.

Production tracking, DENR and DOE compliance, asset and fuel costs — built around how a Philippine mine or power plant actually runs, not how SAP or IFS assumes an Australian one does.

SAP and IFS will quote your mine or power plant in the tens of millions for asset systems modelled on Australian iron ore and North Sea gas, your DENR and DOE compliance still lives in spreadsheets, and production data from a remote site reaches head office days after it mattered.

What this costs you today

Enterprise asset systems priced for BHP and Shell

SAP and IFS price for global iron ore and offshore gas majors — the licensing math never closes for a Philippine nickel miner or independent power producer.

DENR, MGB, and DOE compliance runs on spreadsheets

Permits, environmental filings, and production returns are assembled by hand each cycle, so a single missed schedule becomes a regulatory exposure nobody saw coming.

Remote sites report days after the shift

Mine faces, haul fleets, and power plants sit on intermittent connections, so head office runs on numbers that are already a week old and seldom acted on.

WHO YOU’RE QUOTING TODAY

The incumbents — and what they quote.

  • SAP S/4HANA (Oil, Gas & Mining)Global asset-intensive enterprise pricing · multi-year rollout
  • Oracle (ERP & Utilities)Global enterprise / utilities pricing
  • IFSAsset-management enterprise pricing
  • Microsoft Dynamics 365Mid-market enterprise pricing · partner-led
  • Odoo EnterpriseYear 1 ₱4.0M–₱7.0M (license + partner implementation + training + hardware); Year 2+ ₱1.2M–₱1.5M/year

No mining or energy receipt is closed yet — we will not imply one. The methodology that shipped a Cebu Distribution Platform's route-aware forecasting in 3 weeks and an Enterprise B2B Provider's auto-dispatch CRM in 3 weeks is the same one we would bring to your production tracking, DENR and DOE compliance, and asset reporting.

HOW WE WORK WITH YOU

Your operations team talks to us directly in their language. No translator. No 2-day email chain.

Your account manager sits in Cebu and joins your standups — English, Cebuano, or Tagalog. Senior architecture, AI-assisted build, human review. Custom-built for your business, not shrink-wrapped.

Questions buyers ask.

Yes. Environmental, production, and permit filings for DENR and the Mines and Geosciences Bureau are built into the data model, not bolted on after.

Filing schedules, ore-grade records, and environmental monitoring sit in one place, so each return is generated from live operating data instead of being rebuilt by hand every cycle.

Yes. Site capture works offline and syncs when a connection returns, so head office sees production within the shift instead of days later.

Mine faces, haul fleets, and plant readings are captured on the device the crew already carries, built for the connection a remote site actually has.

Yes. Generation, dispatch, and fuel data feed the DOE and Energy Regulatory Commission reports your team files, built from your actual meters and contracts.

Heat rate, availability, and fuel cost are tracked against your real units, so the regulatory submission and the management view come from the same numbers.

Yes. We read from SCADA, historians, and your existing ERP where APIs exist, or build the integration your sites actually need.

You can keep the control systems and finance stack you already run; we connect the operating and compliance layer on top rather than forcing a full rip-out.

A scoped build of comparable surface area to our receipts ships in 2–3 weeks; larger multi-site rollouts take longer and we say so upfront.

We scope the first working surface on the call and name the date in the proposal. We have never missed a stated date.

Orkids is a Philippine AI engineering firm that builds custom, agent-native operations software for Philippine enterprises — owned outright, with source code on day one — replacing SAP, Salesforce, Oracle, and Odoo in two to three weeks at ten to thirty percent of leading-ERP cost.
