KruxMetrix
About KruxMetrix
KruxMetrix is the web-based analytics companion to KruxLog, providing performance tracking, cost analysis, KPI monitoring, and corporate dashboards that normalise data across global operations for meaningful cross-site comparison. Mining companies and drilling contractors use KruxMetrix to understand rig utilisation, productivity by driller, cost variance by project, and operational efficiency benchmarks across their portfolio of rigs and projects.
Recent additions include an Advanced Core Recovery Calculator for underground and diamond drilling programs, and built-in APIs for connecting drilling data to payroll systems, reporting tools, and geological database systems. The cross-operation benchmarking capability — enabled by Krux's standardised data model — is particularly valuable for large contractors running dozens of rigs across multiple client sites and commodity types, where raw performance comparison across heterogeneous datasets would otherwise be impossible.
KruxMetrix competes with BlackFox's analytics dashboards, CorePlan's analytics features, and bespoke Power BI/Tableau implementations that mining companies build on top of raw drilling data. Its differentiation is the normalised data model developed specifically for mining and exploration drilling, which enables like-for-like comparisons across geographically and geologically diverse operations.

AutoLogger
by Veracio
AutoLogger is Veracio's AI-driven lithological core logging platform. It enables geologists to log core digitally with fully customisable labels while the platform simultaneously learns the geochemical signature of logged lithologies using machine learning, then refines and predicts classifications to dramatically increase logging efficiency. AutoLogger auto-completes geological logging based on patterns it identifies in the core data, ensures seamless QA/QC, and transforms the traditional core shed workflow into a digital geology process.
BlackFox
by acQuire Technology Solutions
BlackFox is a cloud-based SaaS drilling management system acquired by acQuire in November 2024, originally built in Texas by founder Shea Croshaw. The platform addresses the operational side of drilling programs: capturing, validating, and analysing daily drilling data (plods/DSRs) from multiple rigs and contractors in real time. Key capabilities include root cause analysis by rig, driller, project, or region; mobile-enabled daily drilling report workflows with approval chains; customer portal access for mining company clients; multi-language and multi-currency support; and drill program cost management with variance tracking.
Breeze Geo
by Prediktera
Breeze Geo provides an all-in-one solution for hyperspectral core analysis — covering data acquisition, mineral classification, spectral library matching, machine learning model training, image segmentation, and logging workflow to final export. It supports USGS MICA mapping, spectral library interactivity, and custom ML classification workflows using Python scripting. Results export in common formats compatible with other core logging and geological database software.
CorePlan
by CorePlan
CorePlan 2.0 (launched September 2024) is a SaaS platform that replaces paper-based and spreadsheet-driven drilling operations with a digital workflow. For exploration companies, it provides one place for geologists to plan drill programs, track production against budget, manage sample dispatch and laboratory turnaround, and generate operational and management reports. For drilling contractors, it digitises plod (Progressive Log of Drilling) capture on the rig and automates data sharing, approvals, and invoicing with clients.
