In business – regardless of whether you compete in the oilfield services industry or otherwise, often it seems that the bottom line is, well, your bottom line. Record keeping is essential – and that means that data entry must be kept current, sales figures and expenses must be tracked across all areas of the business, and reports must be able to be produced quickly with the latest and most up-to-date numbers.
Many companies find this part of business challenging. Data entry may be put off. Two or more employees may enter the same data. There can be minor errors in entries – and those minor errors can lead to overspending if you’re not careful.
The key to maintaining accurate facts and figures is in the reporting. The more streamlined the process is, the easier that it is to stay ahead of your financials. The financial components of FieldVu -our field management software solution are a great way to stay on top of your company’s information. Plus, when it’s integrated with SAP Business One – you can manage your entire energy services business end-to-end from a single application. ERP solutions aren’t just for the big guys anymore!
