Nutava Pty Ltd · Perth, Western Australia · Since 2015

Software for mining and industry.

Nutava builds MAX4METS, metallurgical accounting software used on mine sites, and bespoke systems for operations whose work does not fit off-the-shelf software. We bring decades of mining experience to the software we build, and we are always open to a conversation about an idea.

What we do

A product for metallurgists, and bespoke systems for everyone else

Two kinds of work, one standard: software that people rely on every shift.

Our product

Metallurgical accounting for mining and mineral processing

MAX centralises plant data, automates metal balance calculations and delivers auditable production reporting. It replaces the month-end spreadsheet with a system that metallurgists, plant managers and auditors can all trust.

Web-based, multi-user and auditable
Aligned with the AMIRA P754 code of practice for metal accounting
Cloud hosted by Nutava on Microsoft Azure, or on your own infrastructure

Bespoke software

Systems built around the way your operation works

Most of our bespoke work is for mining and industrial operations: production data, plant information and reporting that has to be right. When your processes do not fit a packaged product, we design and build the system that does, then support it for as long as it runs.

Scoped with the people who will use it, not handed over as a blank system
Built on .NET, SQL Server and Microsoft Azure, used from a browser
Hosted by Nutava or deployed inside your own environment
Supported by the people who built it, for as long as it runs

Experience

Mine site data, from the crusher to the shipping certificate

We bring decades of mining experience, across mine scheduling, geology, production and processing, to software built alongside the people who run the plant.

Mining and mineral processing

Production data that has to be right

MAX4METS grew out of this experience and is in production at mining operations today. It is configurable to any commodity and mining process, and the same understanding of how a plant actually runs goes into every bespoke system we build for industry. We have worked with gold, copper, base metals, rare earths, tungsten and salt producers, in Australia and overseas.

Data we work with

Plant and processing data: crushing, milling, recovery, reagents and consumables
Assays and laboratory results, validated on entry
Downtime, availability and utilisation by shift
Stockpiles, inventory, trucking and shipments, through to certificates of analysis
Metal balances, reconciliation, budgets and forecasts
Daily, weekly and month-end reporting that stands up to an audit

People we work with

Metallurgists and process engineers
Plant managers and technical services teams
Finance, corporate reporting and auditors
Site IT teams, for hosting, single sign-on and security reviews

Community showcase

WHIR

Case management and reporting for the Women's Health Centre Rockhampton: client intake, referrals, sessions, workshops and community events in one secure system, with the numbers their funding reports need. Built with the people who use it and hosted on Microsoft Azure. Nutava continues to develop WHIR as a not-for-profit community project.

Not everything we build is for business.

How we work

Professional, practical and around for the long haul

The same process whether the system is for a processing plant or a community service.

How an engagement runs

1

Discovery

We walk through your processes, data sources and reporting obligations before anything is built.
2

Design and build

Working software early and often, shaped with the people who will use it every day.
3

Go live

Parallel running beside your existing process until the numbers agree and the team is comfortable.
4

Support

Responsive support from the people who built the system, and the changes your operation needs as it evolves.

What you can expect

Straight answers On scope, cost and whether custom software is the right fix at all.
Working software early Something you can use and react to, rather than a long specification phase.
Your data stays yours In a database you can audit, with every calculation visible.
The same people throughout The engineers who scope the work build it and support it.

Talk to us about your idea

A proven platform

.NET, SQL Server and Microsoft Azure, on a shared platform we have developed since 2020, so bespoke work starts from proven components rather than a blank page.

Hosted your way

Managed hosting on Azure in Australia by Nutava, or deployed inside your own environment.

Industry experience

Decades of hands-on experience in mining, mineral processing and site operations, inside the team that writes the software.

Company

An Australian software company based in Perth

Nutava Pty Ltd is the company behind MAX4METS and WHIR.

Our team combines professional software engineering with hands-on experience in mineral processing and mine site operations, and we have carried the same way of working beyond mining, including into community health. Every customer is different, and we work with each one to find practical solutions to their particular challenges.

We would rather build fewer things properly than many things quickly, and we take on community work when we can be useful.

"MAX 4 METS", "Nutava Mining", "Nutava Software" are registered trading names of the Australian incorporated entity Nutava Pty Ltd (ABN 37 608 322 087, ACN 608 322 087).

Nutava was founded in Perth in 2015 and has served mining clients from the start; our founder's mining experience, across mine scheduling, geology and production, goes back to 2001. In 2019 we doubled down on mining, acquiring the MPX, GEORGE and MPX:DS products and trading as Nutava Mining. Since 2022 we have focused on MAX and the platform beneath it; MPX, GEORGE and CLIMS were sold to PeopleTray that year, and our mining work now lives at max4mets.com.au.
