Background

Pride Energy Services [Pride] is a privately held company, providing well-site logistics for the USA upstream oil & energy industry, forte being efficient movement and storage of equipment, spooling personnel and products with an unwavering focus on operational excellence, safety, and service.

In early 2019, when Pride operated as a 3rd party vendor, Nicholas Wood stepped up to take charge of the company.

Nicholas had a corporate career in the oil & energy industry and cherished the dream to transform Pride into a significant and respected player in their domain. However, the day-to-day execution process needed to be digitalized, and efficiencies of scale had to be built across the company.

He considered various commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology alternatives to digitize and automate the workflow processes to streamline tasks and decrease the overheads associated with manual tasks.

Recognizing the constraints of dealing with COTS, the search was on for a comprehensive field service workflow automation solution that would integrate into Pride’s working style without having stakeholders spend weeks learning how to use it.

This global hunt for an optimal solution led them to partner with qubesense.

Challenge

Nicholas wanted a customized workflow management solution that would match their exact process, and could be developed and deployed rapidly in a modular manner. Unfortunately, the existing one size fits all solutions provided by one of the leading providers was not flexible enough to handle their unique business needs, and Pride’s operations began to suffer.

Nicholas’ vision for Digital Pride had to address and bring efficiencies across:

Operations

  • Existing paper-based field ticket system brought to fore human error, leading to time and cost overheads across job orders and dispatch
  • Invoice filling with supporting evidence was chaotic, time-consuming, impeded productivity, revenue realization, and growth prospects

Client Experience

  • Delay in communication led to increased customer response time
  • Error-prone reporting, lost, misplaced, incorrect ticket led to overcharging or missed getting charged
  • Lack of transparency in accurate job tracking

Compliance

  • Stringent regulations for health and safety compliance reporting
  • Lots of regulatory paperwork to file, store and manage for staff and vehicles with drivers, leading to loss of working hours in the field and fear of compliance penalty

Workflow

  • Lack of centralized point of operation for work orders, site locations, technicians, inventory, and basic real-time reporting
  • Human errors hampering completion time, proof of work, mismatch in operator and asset allocation

Approach

Pride turned these challenges into drivers for change. They realized that to achieve operational excellence, they needed a custom workflow management solution that is compatible with their existing processes. In addition, they desired a cost-effective, modular system that could be built rapidly over time.

In their global search, Nicholas realized his ideas for his Digital business were better understood by the solution experts at qubesense, and the qubesense platform enabled him to add various features and modules as and when he needed them rapidly.

Nicholas particularly liked qubesense USP – qubesense modules could be used to automate workflow management, scheduling and dispatch, invoicing, document management, compliance management, inventory management, and other daily operational functions, all on a single platform. Along with the flexibility to quickly integrate with any existing systems that were already in use at Pride.

Solution

Nicholas, along with solution experts from qubesense, jointly sketched the scope of the solution. They devised a well-defined and comprehensive custom workflow management solution that was iOS, Android, and Web compatible, UI/UX friendly, and designed for scale to quickly streamline the entire workflow.

qubesense delivered a solution that digitalized Pride’s operations across, Client Management, Scheduling, Staff and Expense Management, Contracts, quotes, and Invoicing, among others.

Nicholas and his team were extremely satisfied with the qubesense team’s outstanding technical support and the quick development and rapid implementation of modules in weeks rather than months.
