Products
    SpatialXL is an add-in to Microsoft Excel 2007 or 2010 which gives full graphics capability to Excel, including the ability to read shape files, DXF, DGN, SQL Server data, Oracle Spatial, Datamine, CSV, Excel spreadsheets and other OGC compliant data sources.  Graphics data can also link back to Excel or other data sources. 
MineModeller is an add-in to Bentley Microstation which fully integrates with Microstation and which contains full Microstation peg handling, offsetting and surface building fueatures.  It uses the latest frameworks provided by Microsoft and supported by Bentley and does not suffer from any platform incompatibility.
MineDB is a Spatial Database extension to SQL Server 2005 or 2008 which gives SQL Server full 2D and 3D functionality including the ability to create basic mining geometries and perform operations such as borehole desurveying, surface building, cut and fill calculations, volumetric intersections, blockmodel evaluations and 2 1/2 D evaluations as database operations.
PTSS LQS Interactive Scheduler and PTSS LQS Mine Scheduler:  This product integrates Datamine Studio 2, Microsoft Project and Microsoft Excel with each other. Combine traditional scheduling by using Microsoft Project and Excel and add a graphical scheduling engine by using Datamine Studio 2.
SpatialVUEngine is the core spatial processing engine that can be hosted inside a database, such as SQL Server 2008, in a desktop application and in a windows service or web service.  This engine forms the back bone of our server and desktop applications.
SpatialVUWebServer dispatches tiled data and handles just in time tiling as needed to web and desktop clients, consuming 2D and 3D spatial data.
SilverVU is the silverlight client to the SpatialVUWebServer, providing rich internet application (RIA) experience to the user.

CalculationXL is a component that allows the compilation and execution of Excel workbooks inside of Microsoft Excel for encapsulation, re-usability and protection of Excel functionality.  CalculationXL also has advanced auditing features for Excel workbooks.  The functionality of CalculationXL can be grouped into three categories:  Protection, Compilation & Re-usability and Auditing.

Calculation Server is a component which allows Excel Workbook logic to be deployed and executed in a SQL Server database, or a .NET application.  Thus you get re-usability of Excel workbooks outside of Microsoft Excel.  This is particularly useful if you want to do the following: Migrate Excel workbook logic to another system; use Excel as a design tool for building logic, to test and then to re-use elsewhere; or move Excel workbooks into a SQL Server database.

RoutingDB provides least cost routing and route optimisation services within SQL Server 2008.

Case Studies
  SpatialPETL:
Process, Extract, Transform & Load
This case study illustrates applying a complex techno-financial model to a block model in the DataMine format.  By using CalculationXL, Microsoft PowerShell scripting and SpatialVU, this process was automated and led to reduced time and interaction, plus the ability to run multiple scenarios with regards to this block model.  PDF Size:

CalcXL & CalcServer:
Re-usability of
workbook in Excel
and in SQL DB


This case study illustrates the difference between using Excel on its own for modelling, using CalculationXL to re-use Excel models within Excel and using CalculationServer to re-use Excel models within a SQL Server 2008 database.
