Your CFO shouldn't spend the last week of every month reconciling numbers.
We connect the systems and workbooks you already run into one model, so that operations, finance and the board read the same figure.
What we do
Ops, Finance, and the board should see the same figures. Most months they don't.
- Cost, sustainability, production, budget and safety values still live in workbooks next to systems. Someone is still reconciling them by hand.
- The systems that produce those numbers are not connected. So someone copies between them every month. The version that is a week old is the one the board trusts.
- We connect to the systems you already run and bring the workbooks in with them, across sites and companies. After that, reports are live and don't take a week to prepare.
How we do it
We model and connect your data and systems.
- 01
Start with the report
The one that still takes a week. We find the numbers and the sources.
- 02
Connect the systems
Systems and workbooks are connected. What you put into your systems pulls through automatically.
- 03
Add the next report
The same approach is applied. Each report after the first takes less time.
We stay until you trust the process. Capstone is what you keep.

What you keep
NxGN Capstone. The model you keep.
Your systems and workbooks, connected into one picture of the business. Budgets against actuals, board reports, consolidation across companies. The numbers agree because they come from one place. It is not another dashboard, the same data can still feed your BI reporting. It is built on your data, in your environment, and it stays yours after we hand over.
An illustration in six steps. One figure, unit cost for March, starts as three different answers: R 372.40 a tonne from the plant system, R 388.08 from the ERP, and R 400.58 in the board pack. Capstone connects the cost ledger, the tonnes feed and the engineering workbook into one model. Each operation is signed off where it is captured, and March locks once reported. The unit cost formula runs again at every level, so the group figure of R 388.08 a tonne is computed from R 185.5 million over 478,000 tonnes, not averaged from the three site rates, which would give R 400.58. That difference is R 12.51 a tonne, or R 5.98 million on the month. The model then answers a plain-language question about it, with its sources attached.
Month end. Ops has one version. Finance has another. The board pack has a third.
Connect. Your systems keep doing their jobs. Capstone reads them, and the workbooks beside them.
Validate and lock. The person closest to the number signs it off. Once it is reported, it cannot quietly change.
Calculate. The ratio is computed from the totals at every level. It is never an average of site ratios.
The difference. One figure comes out of a model. The other is assembled by hand. This month, that is R 5.98 million.
Ask it. The answer comes from the same signed-off figures the board sees, with its sources attached.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does NxGN Solutions do?
We stop the copy-paste. We connect your systems and workbooks into one model you can report and analyse from, across departments, sites, and companies. The report that took a week comes out of the model.
Do we have to replace our systems?
No. We connect to what you already run, and the workbooks that live next to them. Your systems keep doing their jobs. The model sits across them.
Is this another dashboard?
No. Dashboards sit on a number. We build the model the number comes from. You can keep your Power BI investment and use Capstone as a better source of data.
How long before we see something?
Weeks, not quarters. We start with the report that takes the longest and put it on the model first. At ARM, each site took about two weeks of modelling effort.
What happens when you leave?
You keep the model. We stay until your team trusts the process and runs it, and Capstone, the software underneath, stays behind with a license and support. Nothing lives on a consultant's laptop.
What is Capstone?
The software the model runs on. Your license, our support. The product page has the detail.
Do you only work in mining?
No. The same work has run campaign automation for a digital marketing group and claims processing for an insurer. Mining is where the proof is deepest.
