On-site first
We don't build from a co-working space in Perth. We drive to site, watch the pre-start and the handover happen, and build around what's actually there, not what we assume.
About
Midwest Mining Technologies is a Geraldton-based software company building practical tools for the Western Australian mining industry: the mid-tier miners, contractors and explorers who run lean.
Founder
I grew up in Geraldton watching WA mining run on clipboards and workarounds. I started Midwest Mining Technologies because the software for mine sites should be built by someone who lives here and understands the environment, not someone reading about it from an office in Sydney.
Based in the Mid West, I'm within a day's drive of most WA operations. Before writing a line of code, I spend the time talking to site managers, HSE coordinators and operations teams, making sure we build what people actually need.
What we believe
We don't build from a co-working space in Perth. We drive to site, watch the pre-start and the handover happen, and build around what's actually there, not what we assume.
The work that costs you time isn't glamorous: paper forms, manual entry, reports written from memory. We fix the boring stuff properly instead of chasing an AI moonshot.
The people filling out the forms, running the toolbox talk, doing the handover. If it isn't faster and easier for them on a dusty phone at 5am, we haven't solved anything.
If you work in WA mining and want to influence what gets built, we'd genuinely like to hear from you.
