Capabilities
Configure the capabilities the plant and the market require.
Horizon and Pulse organize the capabilities available through TwoSuns, here configured around cement. They can be configured independently or combined around one workflow, a kiln stoppage or a tender price. Plant values stay within the limits the plant's engineers define and own.
Commercial domain
Horizon
Market, customer, tender, pricing, engagement and margin capabilities, here configured around cement.
Market and competitor intelligence
Hold a structured view of the regional cement market and the producers competing in it.
- Regional demand, installed capacity and utilization by market

- Dealer and distributor coverage by region, depot and channel
- Invoiced balance, overdue position and payment history by account
- Contact history, commitments made and open questions
- Customer offtake measured against committed volume
- Account plans, relationship tiers and the next action on each
Tenders and bulk supply contracts
Carry a tender from notice through qualification, bid price and signed supply agreement.
- Tender intake for infrastructure, housing and export supply
- Qualification against cement class, volume and delivery capability
- Bid pricing against cement cost per tonne, freight and available capacity
- Contract terms, volume commitments and escalation clauses
- Bid decisions, submissions and the record of what was offered
- Contract performance against committed tonnes and delivery windows
Pricing, netback and offers
Set and hold prices against delivered cost and the capacity available, with netback read after discount, freight and rebate.
- Ex-works and delivered price lists by product, channel and region
- Delivered cost and freight compared by destination and mode of transport
- Discount, rebate and payment term approvals
- Offers prepared with margin per tonne visible before commitment
- Price movements tracked against the market and against cost per tonne
- Price changes recorded with their approver and their effective date
Campaigns, events and stakeholder relations
Plan the engagement work across customers, specifiers, regulators and the regional market.
- Campaign plans by market, with calendars and approval chains
- Technical content for specifiers, consultants and contractors
- Event participation, meetings arranged and follow-up
- Regulator, association and community engagement records
- Audience and contact coordination across functions
- Engagement history carried forward into the next conversation
Revenue and margin coordination
Connect the commercial plan to the tonnes produced and the cash collected.
- Volume and revenue plans by market, product and channel
- Order book against available clinker and cement capacity
- Margin per tonne by customer, product and destination
- Invoiced revenue, receivables ageing and collection status by market
- Commercial to operational handoffs on accepted orders
- Forecasts and variance against plan for the executive review
Operational domain
Pulse
Quarry, kiln, mill, quality, maintenance and dispatch capabilities, here configured around the plant.
Quarry and raw materials
Coordinate the material and fuel that feed the plant, starting at the quarry face.
- Reserve blocks, their chemistry and the extraction sequence in force
- Drill, blast and haulage plans set against the mix the plant needs
- Quarry equipment availability and cost per tonne of material moved
- Corrective material purchases, lot analyses and stockpile position
- Fuel supply by lot, with calorific value, sulphur, chlorine and ash recorded
- Days of cover on each raw material and fuel against the plan in force
Crushing, raw mill and kiln
Support the crushing, raw mill and pyro process decisions that set heat, output and clinker quality.
- Crushing throughput, availability and cost per tonne of raw material
- Raw mix targets and the correction the raw mill is running, with the corrective material it requires
- Kiln, calciner and cooler values against the bands the plant's engineers define and own
- Fuel mix, thermal substitution rate and heat in kcal per kg of clinker
- Clinker free lime, phase composition and strength potential
- Clinker production rate, kiln run factor and cost per tonne of clinker against target
Cement mill and product
Coordinate the mills, the product mix and the power each tonne consumes.
- Mill schedules set against the order book and silo position
- Cement types, additions and blend ratios by product
- Clinker factor and the gypsum, limestone and supplementary materials each product carries
- Fineness, setting time and strength results by cement class
- Power in kWh per tonne of cement, by mill and by product
- Grinding aid and additive economics against cost per tonne of cement
Maintenance and reliability
Hold the asset register, the preventive and shutdown plan and the record of what each stoppage cost in downtime hours and lost tonnes, configured on Core asset records with Calendars and the Pulse process modules.
- Asset register for kiln lines, mills, packers, fans and conveyors
- Preventive plans, shutdown scope and shutdown sequencing
- Spare parts holding and exposure on critical spares
- Stoppage, restart and refractory event history by kiln line
- Failure history, root cause and repeat events by asset
- Downtime hours and lost tonnes costed for each event
Quality and compliance
Carry the cement standards, the evidence and the permit and carbon reporting the plant is held to.
- Cement class requirements and the test results that support them
- Laboratory and XRF results with sample time and input lineage
- Stack emissions against permit limits, with the reporting each permit requires
- Certificates, declarations and customer quality documents
- Non-conformance records, dispositions and corrective actions
- CO2 per tonne of clinker and per tonne of cement, reported separately
Storage, packing and dispatch
Coordinate what the plant can release, how it is loaded and how it reaches the customer.
- Silo and stockpile levels for raw materials, clinker and cement
- Bagged and bulk stock position by product and by terminal
- Packing line and bulk loading capacity against the day's orders
- Weighbridge records, truck turnaround and queue position
- Haulage allocation, freight cost and delivery windows by carrier
- Order release against stock, credit status and committed tonnes
Adaptable
The capability groups are a starting structure
A deployment carries the lines, products, markets and reporting obligations the producer actually holds, and TwoSuns can model further workflows as operating requirements, export destinations, fuel sources and customer relationships change.
Start from the decision that binds
Tell us the decision that matters now, the function that owns it and the limit that binds, and the team will map the capabilities that apply, from the quarry face to cash collected.
