Introduction
This industrial and commercial electrical contractor provides extensive oilfield electrical services across oil and gas operations — new construction, overhead distribution, powerline maintenance, motor changeouts, storm response, and underground services. Their field service operations require accurate job reporting, multi-pricebook billing, and fast invoicing to protect revenue on every job.
But paper-based field tickets were draining profit on every project. Handwritten tickets introduced errors, illegible data, and incomplete information that delayed invoicing for days. Days Sales Outstanding climbed because manual processes couldn’t keep pace with job volume. Pricebooks and contracted pricing lived in disconnected sources, making it impossible to compare actual job costs against quoted pricing. Revenue leaked through transactional errors that no one caught until invoicing. The company needed a field service management platform that could close the gap between completed work and collected payment — with direct integration to QuickBooks for error-free invoicing.
Challenges
- Paper tickets leaked revenue on every job. Manual field ticketing introduced errors, incomplete data, and invoicing delays. Every handwritten ticket was a risk of lost revenue.
- High DSO from slow, manual invoicing. Days Sales Outstanding climbed because paper tickets took days to reach billing. Cash collection lagged behind completed work.
- Labor hoursapproved manually by supervisors. Field labor reporting was inefficient and error-prone. Supervisors approved hours without a system to verify accuracy.
- Job costing disconnected from quoted pricing. No way to compare actual job costs against quotes. Mispricing went undetected, eroding margins on future bids.
- Pricebooks scattered across disconnected sources. Multiple pricebooks and contracted pricing lived in separate files. Billing accuracy depended on manual lookup every time.
- No visibility into field resourceutilization. Management couldn’t see how field personnel and equipment were being deployed across active jobs.
FieldEquip deployed a unified field service management platform for this oilfield electrical contractor — digitizing field ticketing, labor reporting, multi-pricebook pricing, and invoicing with direct QuickBooks integration. Live within weeks. One platform, owned and operated by the team that built it.
Capabilities:
- Digital field ticketing replaced paper on every job. Field crews capture labor, materials, and equipment usage digitally. Multiple tickets consolidate per job for accurate, complete billing.
- Multi-pricebook and contracted pricing managed centrally. Standard, negotiated, and customer-specific pricing recognized automatically via the contract management feature. No manual pricebook lookup required.
- Direct QuickBooks integration — invoicing data transfers automatically. Approved field tickets flow directly into QuickBooks following an easy approval process. Transaction and invoicing errors virtually eliminated.
- Field inspection and task list forms built in. Custom inspection forms and task checklists created and reported digitally. Compliance documentation captured at the point of service.
