Different by design — general-purpose EAM was not built for the mobile mining fleet; OEM dispatch systems lock you to one vendor; native SAP gives you the data but not the insight. FleetAct sits between all of them — and gives you one place to act.
A fair, factual comparison. We name the strengths of each alternative honestly — and where FleetAct is different.
| FleetAct | General EAM e.g. Prometheus Group |
OEM dispatch Modular Mining · Wenco |
Native SAP S/4HANA EAM |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Built for mobile mining fleets | Yes | Partial — broad cross-industry | Yes — open-pit haul focus | No — general-purpose EAM |
| OEM-agnostic aggregation | Yes — SAP, FMS, OEM, oil, tyre | Yes — deep ERP integration | No — OEM-aligned | No — SAP-only data |
| SAP S/4HANA read & write | Yes — OData REST | Yes | Limited — focused on haul | Native |
| Real-time OEM alarm interpretation | Yes — interpreted, not raw | Varies | Own OEM only | No |
| Unified work-order planner (5 phases) | Yes | Yes — incl. STO | Maintenance module | Standard PM |
| Pricing model | One-off build no per-seat SaaS |
Subscription / SaaS | Licence + services | SAP licence |
| Australian data residency | Yes — AU-only firewall | Depends on host | Depends on host | Depends on host |
| Co-managed dedicated server | Yes | No — SaaS | No | Self-managed |
| Best fit | Mining operators wanting one source of truth | Asset-intensive, multi-industry plants | Haul-cycle optimisation on one OEM | Teams already deep in SAP |
Comparison is based on publicly available information about each category. Prometheus Group, Modular Mining (Komatsu), Wenco (Hitachi) and SAP are mentioned descriptively; all trademarks belong to their owners. FleetAct is independent of and not affiliated with any of them.
Platforms like Prometheus Group are strong, AI-powered EAM suites with deep SAP, Oracle and Maximo integration — and they serve many industries well. But they are general-purpose. They were not built around the mobile mining fleet, the OEM alarm flood, or haul-cycle reality. FleetAct is mining-mobile-fleet-specific from the ground up — and priced as a one-off build, not a forever subscription.
Modular Mining's DISPATCH (Komatsu) and Wenco (Hitachi) are excellent at what they do — optimising haul cycles and dispatching trucks on the pit. They are also, by design, aligned to their OEM. They are not a place to aggregate every OEM alarm, every oil sample, and every SAP work order into one operations-aware plan. FleetAct is OEM-agnostic, and sits over dispatch rather than competing with it.
You already run SAP S/4HANA — and FleetAct keeps it as the system of record, reading and writing via OData. Native SAP gives you the data, but not a mining-fleet operations console on top of it. FleetAct is that console — the unified view your crews actually use day to day, with SAP doing the heavy lifting underneath.
Because the gap is not a better EAM, a better dispatch system, or a better SAP — it is the missing layer that unifies all three into one mining-fleet view. OEM-agnostic, SAP-integrated, Australian-hosted, and built as a one-off — so you own the use indefinitely, without a subscription that never ends.
