Today in the Energy Services market, field tickets play a critical role in business operations & client relations. They capture work we complete in the field, including things like labor, inventory consumed, equipment maintenance, and even rentals. If you’re like most energy service companies you’re probably using hardcopy field tickets out on a job site, and at some point, these are collected and sent back to the office where manually billing, inventory restocking, paying your crew & more takes place.
The problem with this process is that it’s slow, and many times inaccurate. With a manual system, chances are high that items will be missed, field tickets will be lost or data mis-keyed. When this occurs a record that the work actually happened can be challenging to track, making it very difficult to bill your client. As a consequence most service companies (either knowingly or unknowingly) end up paying these expenses out of their own pocket.
An electronic field ticketing system can help alleviate much of the pain associated with this process. Check out this free webcast to see how.
