About Sciar Systems

We are SCIAR Systems, an Australian technology company specialising in cloud-based Software solutions for the bulk commodity logistics sector. Founded in 2019 and based in Newcastle, we bring together over sixty years of combined industry expertise, blending deep knowledge of bulk commodities with advanced engineering and IT capabilities. The founders of Coal Port Services and Solutek jointly own SCIAR.

Our flagship product, SCIAR (Supply Chain integrated Autonomous Rail), is a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform designed to manage and optimise the entire logistics process for bulk commodities, from initial customer contact through site execution, loading, reconciliation, and vessel dispatch. We automate and integrate all touchpoints in the bulk commodity supply chain into a single platform, enabling real-time alerts, comprehensive reporting, and seamless data integration with service providers.

We also deliver a range of complementary solutions to the bulk commodity logistics market:

SpeedEDocs is our SaaS-based shipping documentation portal, purpose-built to streamline and automate the export documentation process for bulk commodity exporters. The platform integrates data feeds directly from marine surveyors, quality labs, export terminals, port authorities, and vessel agents to automate the creation and completion of nearly all commercial shipping documents. By accelerating document workflows and reducing manual re-entry, SpeedEDocs helps exporters cut costly errors, ensure compliance, and streamline payment cycles.

Our Emissions Reporting solution addresses the challenges bulk commodity companies face in managing and reporting Scope 3 emissions. We provide technology that simplifies ESG compliance and sustainability reporting, enabling businesses to meet regulatory requirements and industry expectations while reducing risk and positioning themselves as leaders in sustainability. Through integrated data management and reporting tools, we empower companies to drive innovation and stay ahead of evolving standards in emissions disclosure.

We also integrate and resell SPIRE (Solutek Productivity Intelligence Reporting Ecosystem), a comprehensive reporting system that unifies operational data sources for mine sites into a single platform. By pulling information from PLCs, SCADA, lab results, and planning systems, SPIRE eliminates manual and fragmented reporting, supporting accurate and real-time decision-making across mining operations. Our clients gain access to modular, user-friendly tools for KPI dashboards, delay accounting, operations management, alarm analysis, and more: improving efficiency, productivity, and compliance with the flexibility to tailor modules to site-specific requirements.

At SCIAR Systems, we maintain an active Insights & Ideas section, featuring thought leadership on critical topics such as ESG reporting, supply chain resilience, and regulatory change in bulk commodities. Our commentary and articles distil industry best practices, respond to new mandates, and offer actionable strategies for supply chain optimisation, digital transformation, and sustainability leadership.
