Mining Software Business Plan


Mining Software Business Plan


PT. Rekayasa Tambang Indonesia (RTI) meets the needs of clients – private and government-owned mining companies – in virtually every sphere of geological interpretation and modeling, mine design and engineering, and mining productivity improvement activities. RTI, a subsidiary of Mining Engineering Software Development and Technical Assistance USA (MINER DELTA), is an American software company that offers engineering software for full services in mining design and interpretation. They also offer the managerial and technical support necessary to solve complex geoological interpretation and modeling, mine optimization, mine schedule design and dump design and rehab in Indonesia and other parts of Southeast Asia Region.

The Products

RTI will be offering five distinct products and services. The first product is geological modeling and interpretation software systems. This product and services provides the most extensive geological database, innovative interpret tools, advanced modeling techniques, resource reporting, and resource reporting for almost all types of deposits. They include simple, stratiform, massive, and simple deposits as well as complex, highly deformed ore body. A variety of engineering and mine design software systems will be available, as well as mining optimization and scheduling software. Lastly, dump design and rehabilitation will perform analysis regarding environmental impact, designing mine waste dump, designing acid drainage, designing ground water drainage, and environmental rehabilitation.

The Market

The total market value for open pit, underground, and quarry mining software technologies has grown at an average rate of 22% over the past five years. Since there is no local engineering software producer in Indonesia, the imported software technologies account for 100% of all open pit, underground, and quarry mining engineering and geological software technologies in Indonesian mining industries. Last year, total imports for mining software technologies reached $75 million. That is 23.7% more than $60.6 million the year before. The imports were also 26.3% larger than $48 million the year before.

Competitive Advantages

RTI’s ability to access intangible capital (leadership, talent, entrepreneurs and intellectual property) and advanced technology are key to its ability to maintain competitive advantages. These two advantages are interrelated. The “intangible capital” to a large degree is intellectual capital that has been captured by the organization. RTI was careful in designing systems that capture the human resource developed by the employees. This is a great advantage, as even though some employees leave and go to other companies, RTI captures their knowledge and allows them to be leveraged by current employees. This intellectual capital is then used to fuel the development of advanced technology.

RTI is a new company that combines the best of both software and consulting to serve the mining industry. RTI forecasts strong revenue numbers in year one and steady growth through year five. With gross margins at a high percentage of sales, net profits will improve each year.

1.1 Mission

RTI’s mission is to be a strong presence in Indonesia in order to implement the MINER DELTA mission statements. It has the specific mission to become the most trusted mining and geology software provider in Indonesia and to provide consulting services. Through the development of the most efficient techniques for image analysis, RTI can create customer value and facilitate optimal and efficient operations. RTI, which is the commercial arm MINER DELTA’s MINER DELTA, will build a reputation for providing outstanding consultative service and exceeding customer expectation.

1.2 Objectives

This summary summarizes the financial and marketing objectives for RTI.

  1. The first year saw healthy sales, and the growth continued through the fifth year.
  2. Average gross margin percent of sales income for the top drawer.
  3. Each year, net income continues to rise.

It is possible to convert financial objectives into marketing goals. The company must ensure that the average profit margin for sales is high if it hopes to meet its goals in terms of gross margin and revenue.

To reach these goals, the company will need to establish certain goals for customer awareness. These include proactively approaching prospective clients candidates, teaming-up and working with other technology providers (hardware makers and platform developers), partnering up with local and regional mining contractors, equipment suppliers, and reducing competition, improving pricing, and reducing risk.

This could be the marketing objective.

  • Targeted sales revenue for five years.
  • Ensure customer awareness throughout the planning period.
  • Teaming up with other technology providers (hardware manufacturer and platform developer) can help reduce competition, lower risks and lower prices.

Success Keys 1.3

RTI can create a competitive edge by having access to intangible resources (business networks, talent, leaders, entrepreneurs, intellectual properties and brands) and advanced technologies. It also has the ability to tailor its location.

RTI’s advanced mining design and scheduling programs give it a technological edge. The software’s ability to calculate and produce visibility plots is a measure of its performance. Other qualitative measures, such as flexibility and ease of use, are important measures that RTI also excels in. RTI will concentrate on improving and refining its system in future software releases to ensure a sustainable competitive advantage. RTI will continue researching image analysis issues.

The combination of human resources and advanced technology enables RTI to focus on its mission of becoming a customer driven company. Each system will only be installed and designed by qualified personnel. This personalized service onlyavailable through RTI. Its ability operate in a &#8220:turn key&#8221 fashion is highly prized in its target markets. RTI and customers have a close personal relationship that is essential to its mission of ‘#8220’ exceeding customer expectations through exceptional consultative service.

RTI’s Jakarta location allows it to operate efficiently in this manner. RTI&#8217’s product distribution and services distribution are further facilitated by the presence in Indonesia’s major mining regions (East Kalimantan South Kalimantan South Sumatra Central Sulawesi). The travel costs for service and maintenance, sales demonstrations and installation will all be reduced. As unit sales increase, distribution cost advantages are measurable and competitive. The benefits of being close to customers are many: they will benefit consulting efforts, and it will aid us in our quest for customer and market driven rather than just a branch or representative of any software company or foreign consulting firm.

A mine’s most valuable link is its primary activity, which is to produce more products at a less expensive price. RTI provides value and benefit to its customers by targeting this specific activity in its customer’s value chain. RTI creates systems for its clients that provide quality assurance activities and guide its customers in improving their operational performance.

Limousine Taxi Business Plan


Limousine Taxi Business Plan


San Francisco Limo is a limousine firm that provides high quality limousine transportation services for San Francisco and Burlingame. We use late model limousine sedans. John Smith, David Jones and the sole owners of the company have established it as a California corporation. San Francisco Limo will make $52,000 in net profits by the third year.

The Market

The transportation/limousine in San Francisco is quite competitive. Airport transportation as well weddings, prom nights, and “nights on the town” are quite competitive and margins have eroded. San Francisco Limo is able to serve these niches and reduce downtime while building a loyal base. San Francisco Limo will primarily focus on elderly transportation, private school students transport, and sightseeing trips. These niches have higher margins and are less price sensitive. There are 10 private schools in the area with 3,502 students. There are 26 B&Bs and 44 hotel/motels available for sight-seeing. The area also has 19 retirement and assisted living facilities. These three markets each have a 5% growth rate and potential customers of 1,816; 2,700; and 2,000 respectively. San Francisco Limo will service the Burlingame as well San Jose market, just like it did earlier. While it is common knowledge that there is a large amount of money flowing through the city to a large degree from the boom of the Internet age, Burlingame is also quite affluent. Burlingame surrounds 14 communities. With 3,632 households with incomes exceeding $150,000, this demographic is likely to use limousines.

The Business Model

San Francisco Limo will launch it at a moderate rate. It currently operates three sedans. To save costs, the office operates from home. The vehicles are stored in a garage rented by the company. Because office space is scarce in this area, the home-based model will be used as long as possible without sacrificing custom service.

Currently, the industry average for revenue per vehicle is $4,614 with San Francisco Limo only generating $2,500. San Francisco Limo has to significantly increase this number in order to continue growing and remaining profitable. The low market average revenue is due to a small customer base, and participation in niche markets. As the market becomes more competitive, both the customer base as well as penetration will grow and revenue per vehicle should increase dramatically.

Management Team

The company must fully utilize the knowledge and experience of John and David as their managers to achieve success. John is a veteran of the transportation industry for eight years. John was a limousine driver for the first three-years. For the next five years he was elevated to manager of a 12 car limo fleet. John gained the vast majority of his industry experience and insight over this five-year period. While David is an equally seasoned manager, his background is in logistics for a shipping company. David spent nine years working in Airborne Express’ logistics department. This experience was vital in David&#8217s management skills development and gave David the confidence to launch his own business.

San Francisco Limo will continue to grow at a steady pace, with both principals doing their best and doing just a little of everything. In year one, revenue is expected at $92,000. This will increase to $225,000 by year 3. By year three, net profits will reach $52,000. This represents 22.94% of sales. In the sixth month, profitability will be attained.

1.1 Objectives

This business plan has the objective to increase monthly revenue per vehicle from the current $2,500 to $6.250 by the end 2001. This figure will be 35% more than the national average of $4,614, which is the median for limousines in the Northern California Region.

This will be achieved by:

  1. Decreasing the company’s reliance on competitive airport transfer type business.

  2. Increased penetration of lucrative markets close to your home base

  3. Keep the CATA contract’s highest-profitable part, but find another use for it.

1.2 Mission

San Francisco Limo’s mission is to be the premier hourly hire sedan service in a 10-mile radius from Burlingame. We hope to serve a repeat clientele who demand–and can afford–reliable, secure service from drivers with detailed knowledge of the area.

1.3 Keys for Success

  • Fleet vehicles must be replaced often to eliminate downtime as well as to maintain an image consistent with the company’s mission statement.

  • You are key to fostering repeat customers by having excellent telephone skills.

  • Especially true for limousine companies with small fleets, the most import key to success is finding a repeat clientele willing to hire car and driver for a minimum of two hours. While the airport transfer business is booming and there appears to be enough for everyone, it is important to find segments of the market that complement this business during hours when airport transfers are slow. It will also be beneficial to find market segments that are brand loyal (less price-sensitive) which result in longer fares of a less-hectic nature.

    • Children’s Website Business Plan


    Children


    Introduction

    InteliChild.com gives bright children a safe place to interact and have fun with other kids, educators, the web, and the wider world. It generates traffic first, valuation for investors, and eventually commerce and profits. It provides a safe environment for children to play and parents and schools to purchase, as well as a creative, fair, and healthy work environment for employees.

    The InteliChild.com ecommerce project is the natural progression of the InteliChild.com Internet site. The site will promote and sell select toys, books and software products. It will also produce Web products and Web applications that will increase market share, promote name recognition, and maximize efficiency.

    The Company

    InteliChild.com, the current start-up, has four employees. The California C corporation was created by the principal founders at 25% ownership. (Name Omitted) Capital partners acquired 50% of the company. The company has only one office. The initial website is at www.citruscoolkids.com.

    Our core competitive advantage is the knowledge base that we have created in-house. Our competitor spends five to ten times more money on outsourcing than we do to companies that can provide services that we offer in-house. The same applies to InteliChild.com. Already having the SQL(tm), ColdFusion() programming skills, we will now add Flash(tm).

    Products and Services

    InteliChild will be offering a steadily increasing mix of three lines of products:

    • Toys and Games – carefully chosen toys and games that appeals to the target audience, their parents, and educators.
    • Books: there should be a selection of books that appeal specifically to the parents and educators of the target market, so that these interested adults can go to this site and order books about their children. In addition, of course there is also a selection of books to be ordered by and for the kids to read.
    • is carefully selected software to appeal specifically to the target market.

    The Internet changes every three to six months, or faster. Therefore, our strategy for future development is to remain positioned with enough flexibility to adapt new technologies, and adapt to changes quickly.

    The Market

    InteliChild.com is experiencing an explosion in sales due to technology advancements in teaching fields and the acceptance technology as a teaching aid. We need to get approval from the school community, which includes teachers, PTAs, and special education programs, in order to enter the market.

    These four areas are our primary targets:

    1. The children themselves.
    2. Parents.
    3. Educational institutions for children of the upper class.
    4. Self-teaching families.

    We have plans to expand internationally, but our first launch will be in the US upper class. We know that the majority of our clients drive BMW&#8217s and have great taste. They spend more on their children than they do on their cars because they like the technology that we have built. They are also impressed by high-quality design and have high bandwidth connections.

    Financial Considerations

    Because we are determined to be the Internet’s dominant company, our start-up costs can be high.

    The Breakeven Analysis indicates that we are at steady-state breakeven in the first one year.

    The forecast for sales is based upon increasing website traffic and increasing the number of sales per session. From Year 1 through Year 3, sales are expected increase exponentially. The forecast obviously depends on traffic increase. We plan to lose money for at least three years while we build traffic and develop our position for the long-term future.

    Objectives

    • Traffic measured in unique sessions: 100,000 user sessions in June, Year 1, 450,000 in December Year 1, 3.5 million Year 2, and 5,000,000 in Year 3.
    • Selling through, measured in dollar sales for each unique visit: December 1, 2012 saw a record high of $0.58; $0.83 in Year 2, and $0.92 the following year.
    • Value is the ability to attract additional investment at economically viable valuations. We need to attract

    Moderate investment in this year and an additional large injection in Year 2, with a valuation performance that yields attractive Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for investors. The financial section shows IRR of greater than 100% for all investors. However, IRR is lower for seed and slightly lower for the second round.

  • Acquisition (IPO) or Initial public offering in Year 4 at a valuation greater than $20 Million. This assumes that earnings and sales are the market values, which are very high at the time this plan is written.

    • Mission

    InteliChild.com provides bright children a fun place to interact with educators, other kids, and the wider world. It generates traffic first, valuation for investors, and eventually commerce and profits. It’s a safe place for children to play, for parents to buy school supplies, and for employees to work in a fair and creative environment.

    Keys to Success

    1. Customers must be retained. The website must be simple to use, and can be viewed quickly. User satisfaction is an ultimate priority.
    2. If the project can capitalise on the traffic generated by InteliChild.com and convert the user sessions into dollars via the commerce site, it will succeed.
    3. InteliChild isn’t ready to hire more people so the sales process must be simple to manage and flexible enough.
    4. The e-commerce project will further establish InteliChild.com as a technology leader. It will not only bring in traffic, but also return traffic.

    The Market

    The housing industry has experienced a rapid pace over several years. 1998 saw the completion of 886,000 single-family homes built on-site. It was an all-time record. This represented a 10% increase over the 804,000 homes that were sold in 1997 and an 8.1% increase from the 1977 record of 819,000 homes. Of the $125,000,000 in industry revenue, $48 million was generated by single-family housing. This provides a fantastic opportunity to expand Concrete Installation and gain significant market shares in its primary target segment. The company will also be focusing less on the residential construction and heavy construction industries, which are both very strong at the moment.

    The company is aiming to quickly build marketing alliances, and sell its services to residential and business builders. Concrete Installation is aiming to profit from its alliances with industry leaders by securing contracts for city, county and federal governments.
