Managers face a daily challenge of obtaining accurate and meaningful information from the numerous available systems. As these systems do not normally integrate well, some analysis is required to make sense of this disjointed data to form credible information.
Polysphere assists managers to gain a complete picture of their business, by creating meaningful reports to make profitable business decisions. Reporting and analysis is important to understand how a company performed historically.
Our skilled analysts will assist you in discovering your unique hidden opportunities and benefits through comprehensive analysis and reporting of your operation.
Leveraging our analytical skills we are able to create intuative management dashboards to expose hidden operational issues.
Once analysed, we present the information in an understandable and simple format for quick assessment and decision making. Where possible, we would use graphical reporting, backed up by tabulated outputs, for easy reference.
We provide solutions to assist in planning, organising, controlling and reporting of the organisation’s information to enhance the management process.
Polysphere has become the industry leading practice when it comes to industrial production and services bonus and incentives design. Our holistic approach caters for the entire performance management process cycle, from strategic performance alignment, incentive rules and procedural governance design, all the way to enablement through administrative process and system implementation, utilising our unique IncentiWise Bonus administration system.
Our approach revolves around truly understanding the performance management process, in alignment with the client’s operating environment, in order to ensure maximum benefit achievement from incentives. We ensure alignment between all the bonus process stakeholders (multi-departemental, Production, Measurment, HR, Safety, Payroll, Finance and Audit).
Our experienced team ensures, that during the most critical time of the process, implementation, there is sufficient on-site expertise, guiding managers in the decisions and consultations needed to sell the bonus to employees and unions. Our technical team ensures practical and user-friendly system design and deployment.
Polysphere’s performance design philosophy ensures that the incentives are aligned with elements of strategic intent. The relevant bonus drivers and modifiers that enhance the operating model are selected, ensuring that the correct operational levers are pulled and the appropriat bonuses are paid.
Our approach to incentive analysis is to determine the current bonus administration process and structures and then review and list all current bonus schemes per production area and access current bonus effectiveness. Polysphere ensures that the designed bonus schemes are aligned with industry norms and best practice.
We ensure that the design fits the operation, makes sense to employees and managers alike for ease of understanding and communication of bonus rules. We also determine the optimal affordability scenarios to ensure that true benefits can be achieved through the application of bonuses.
The Bill of Materials system (BOM) is a dynamic tool that provides visibility into the materials ordering process. This system and associated process enables the application of production-based flex budgeting for mining stores orders and provides improved management governance and control over the current process.
Application of standardised material lists per mining activity is enforced, ensuring that only required and standard items can be ordered by production personnel. The system utilises calculated and historical material consumption rates to determine material requirements, based on actual production output booked (users are provided with guided material order quantities based on production delivered).
The budget is flexed for over or under-production based on booked production rates. The system provides direct and immediate feedback to the person placing the order, highlighting any over–quantity orders and budget over-expenditure. This is visible at overall activity budget level down to item level.
An added benefit of this process it the ability to forecast material requirements based on future production planning. This in turn enables management to generate a zero-based materials budgets for future periods or planning.
IncentiWise is an innovative bonus administration system designed for the mining industry to simplify and integrate performance management into the mining process. This unique web-based solution has been developed to enable and manage the bonus administrative function within strict process controls and governance requirements. The system assists our clients to administer, calculate and pay bonuses to thousands of employees based on numerous performance metrics, accurately and on-time.
The system’s strengths lie in its ability to seamlessly integrate with a variety of corporate transactional and data source at complex and labour-intensive operations.

Our innovative equipment repair tracking software enables clients to manage the process of equipment repair status and location at any time. This solution allows the user to register new equipment (per function, type and model) in the built-in asset register. Unique equipment serial numbers are used to identify and locate machines at any point in the equipment operating cycle, from in-use, out for repair, at repairer, returned from repair and available for issue.
This system streamlines the process of asset tracking of costly equipment. It further enhances the company’s ability to forecast equipment availability as well as plan periodic equipment replacement due to growth or as a result of equipment scrapping.
The ERT provides intuitive reports to show equipment life-cycle analysis, equipment availability, in-out balances and other useful information aimed at optimising the use of these assets.
