Qtap — Qtap is a software development company specializing in cross-platform social networking, website creation, and online payment features.
Dolon Systems — Every day thousands of mine managers have to decide where to dig, what to extract, but unfortunetaly the geological analysis data they using to make decision is offten two weeks old. In reality the mine manager is guessing where it should go. And this lack of data can cost to the mine millions of dollars in exploration and decrease production.Almost all mining companies over the world have the same problem. Our product helps mining companies to save that mln $ per year. The Dolon product is virtually the only geologic data management system in the world that is completely cloud-based. We have three main approaches to solve them 1. By providing right tools on mobile devices to make collecting data easy and valid. Let say geologists can capture the image of anomalies and make some notes about ore body, do some drawings, and some other stuff right at a mine. 2. Excluding “human factor” by attaching to other devices and collecting data directly from sensors. 3. We integrated advanced 3D modeling and visualization tools with data management system. Since all data from different parts of mine flows into centralized database mine managers can get access to the latest actual data, visualize and analyze which helps them to know where they are and make proper decision.
