Safety, Environmental & Quality
Safety & quality are critical to building long-term client relationships at Well-Pro. Anyone on the Well-Pro team can demonstrate their commitment to safe operations by simply logging into their real-time dashboards which will show their crews completing required EHS procedures such as JSA’s and safety inspections. Giving their crews simple tools to drive awareness of risks onsite and promote what safe actions to follow allows crews to perform the tasks correctly and safely while adhering to any regulatory and compliance standards. All the safety data is stored and available to share with clients or regulatory agencies.
Maintenance & Asset Reliability
Maintenance & asset reliability improved as crews diligently fill out vehicle inspections once per week. Doing this quick and easy exercise provides the maintenance team with an early warning system to potential larger problems and allows them to pre-order needed parts and plan their work to reduce total cost of asset ownership. This data is also used for insurance records if they ever need to make a claim and show records on the asset.
Sales & Finance
From the business and finance perspective, lost and delayed field tickets are no longer the high cost, revenue-losing problem they once were. Field tickets which contain customer information, sales numbers and work authorization signatures are easily submitted from the field. With one click the FAT FINGER Quick Book Connector exports all the clean data to Well-Pro’s accounting system and invoices are sent out to the client that same day.
The executive team can look at their real-time dashboard giving them exact daily sales totals and other performance metrics to improve resource and financial planning.
Ensuring procedures are followed, clean data is collected, and reporting is automated allowed Well-Pro Services to reduce admin headcount. This reduced operational costs and removes many admin headaches across the entire team. From the revenue side, reduction in lost tickets and faster collection allows Well-Pro to continue to invest into their business to offer a safe, high quality and affordable oil field service.
