Enabling Technica's AI Journey

Technica Mining is one of Canada’ s leading mine contractors, providing underground and surface mining services, engineering, construction, maintenance, and operational support to mine operators across Canada. Founded in 1999, the company operates a large fleet of more than 250 pieces of mining equipment, supporting complex mining projects through a workforce of over 200 employees across multiple offices and client sites. At this scale, delivering consistent, real-time operational visibility across teams and leadership is critical to maintaining safe, efficient, and informed decision-making.

Challenge

Through an open RFP process, Technica selected Interknowlogy to help it define where and how to apply AI across its operations. Technica, like many service-based organizations, struggled with the linear relationship between growth and resources – more projects meant more people, more resources and more administration. The challenge for InterKnowlogy was to determine where the greatest opportunities for AI existed within their organization and how best to achieve an acceptable ROI.

Technica faced a common enterprise problem: multiple decision-makers working from different versions or interpretations of the same data. Even when data existed, it was often not easily accessible, not visually intuitive, or not aligned across user groups.

This led to:

  • Delays in accessing critical operational insights
  • Confusion between stakeholders reviewing inconsistent data views
  • Inefficiencies in aligning decisions across teams and leadership
  • Limited ability for frontline users to quickly interpret performance metrics in context

Ultimately, the challenge was not a lack of data, but a lack of clarity, accessibility, and shared understanding.

Solution

The CADDI Command Center was developed as a dynamic, visual operational dashboard designed to unify company performance data into a single, intuitive interface. Built as an operational command centre, it enables different users to easily search, filter, and interpret performance information based on their role and decision-making needs.

The solution leveraged proven visualization technology originally used to build the CNN Election Wall, enabling high-density data to be presented in a clear, real-time, and highly interactive format.

Key features included:

  • A centralized dashboard for operational performance visibility
  • Role-flexible access for both frontline workers and executives
  • Intuitive search and navigation of key company metrics
  • Real-time, digestible visualization of complex operational data
  • A unified data environment reducing reliance on fragmented reports

Impact

The CADDI Command Center significantly improved how Technica interacts with operational data by creating a shared source of truth across the organization.

Key outcomes included:

  • Reduced time spent searching for and validating performance information
  • Improved alignment between decision-makers using the same consistent data view
  • Decreased confusion caused by fragmented reporting systems
  • Faster, more confident operational decision-making supported by visual data clarity

By consolidating performance intelligence into a single, accessible command centre, Technica gained a more efficient and coherent approach to understanding and acting on its operational data.

Key areas of savings included:

  • Identified $7.8m worth of savings against key business processes
  • Reduction manual labour on planning, shift reporting, productivity and forecasting
  • Manual reporting, document processing, utilization tracking, chasing missing data
  • AP/AR processing, manual receipts, packing slips, WIP reporting, collections
  • Manual onboarding, training documentation, reconciliation across systems
  • Manual reporting, policy queries, repetitive calls/emails

The underlying value of the engagement is that Technica will be able to scale its business without having to scale the resources required for the administration and management of their projects.
