The diagnosis

The procurement challenge in major mining.

Four structural inefficiencies in the supply chain: fragmented data, oversized inventories, low competition in procurement and regional suppliers excluded from the ecosystem.

Low Accuracy Master Data

Incomplete descriptions, duplicates and lack of taxonomy prevent informed purchasing decisions and block onboarding of new suppliers.

Katu Intelligence

Transactional procurement without real competition

Manual processes, excluded national, local and indigenous suppliers, and lack of traceability generate structural cost overruns on every tender.

Katu Market

No category strategy or OEM benchmark

Without alternative analysis, list price is always paid. Contracts are renewed without evaluating Low Cost Country (LCC) or national, local and indigenous suppliers.

Katu Consulting

Working Capital Tied-up

Oversized inventories with obsolete materials and surplus without efficient disposal channels tie up millions of dollars in warehouses.

Why are we different?

We're not another platform.
We're a mining team with technology.

This isn't designed in a meeting room. Our team led procurement on the mine site for years — and built Katu to solve exactly what we lived through.

01

We find the best suppliers for every purchase.

More than 2,000 enrolled suppliers — local, regional, SMEs and indigenous companies — ready to compete. Our AI matches them by category, region and historical performance, opening competition where there used to be one or two habitual bidders.

02

We automate with AI what doesn't add value.

Your team stops fighting with spreadsheets, emails and manual validations. The platform generates invitations, consolidates offers, recommends a bid award and issues POs in SAP — freeing your time for the strategic, not the operational.

03

Expert support on your key processes.

Team present in Antofagasta and mining regions, with +20 combined years leading procurement inside major mining groups. We support strategic categories, technical warehouse assessment and the training of your SME suppliers.

04

Analytics to optimize your purchasing strategy.

Live dashboards of spend, DIFOT, actual vs. potential savings and % spend with national, local and indigenous suppliers. Auditable monthly ESG reports exportable to the board. Compare your performance with the market and discover savings opportunities you weren't seeing.

How it works

From request to bid award, in less than 48 hours.
A simple flow for the supplier, robust for the mining company.

01

You raise the request

You define requirements, deadlines and documentation. Pre-configured templates by product family save you time.

02

Katu invites the market

The system automatically invites enrolled suppliers that qualify — local, regional, SMEs according to your policy.

03

You receive sealed-bid offers

Offers stay encrypted until closing. No supplier sees another's offer. Auditable and traceable.

04

You compare with AI

Side-by-side of price, lead time, historical performance and local development. Smart recommendation — your final decision.

05

You award with backing

Every decision keeps a complete audit trail. The PO is issued directly in SAP, with no re-typing.

06

The Katu team operates

We manage delivery and payments directly with the supplier. Real-time DIFOT, automatic escalation in case of incidents.

Buy better.
Empower your market.

The ecosystem that major mining has been waiting for. Competitive procurement, reliable data, capital in motion and national, local and indigenous suppliers connected — all in one place.
