CALGARY, AB - January 13, 2010 - Drawing on over 20 years of mobile workforce management expertise, Mentor Engineering is pleased to offer a comprehensive technology solution tailored for the oil and gas industry. With over 300 clients in more than 10 industries, Mentor has experience helping companies increase their efficiency, improve customer service, cut operational costs and generate more revenue.
Mentor's Oil and Gas Technology Solution can dramatically improve operational efficiency in the following key areas:
- Work Order Management: Office staff can track the location and status of field operators and quickly send the closest available operator to a new job or priority call. Work orders and last-minute changes are sent directly to the vehicle. Work order information is entered electronically to save time and minimize inaccuracies.
- Field Operator Safety: With Automatic Vehicle Location, responders can be sent quickly to the scene of an emergency. In-vehicle computers keep field operators and the back office constantly linked. Field operators are equipped with intrinsically-safe work-alone pendants to
maintain contact with the office when outside the vehicle.
- Field Operator Efficiency: Field operators and office staff communicate instantly, and office staff can monitor the current job stage of a field operator. In-vehicle navigation guides operators to unfamiliar job sites, getting them there quickly and saving fuel.
- Billing and Data Entry: Job details such as inventory used, work codes, and job start/end times are tracked electronically at the job site. Accurate invoices can be mailed immediately without needing review. All data is time stamped, reducing data entry and eliminating both billing discrepancies and resulting customer complaints.
- Fleet Monitoring and Maintenance: Fleet monitoring lets managers track driver behaviors to reduce excessive speed and minimize idling
time, letting companies realize greater fuel savings, reduce the risk of accidents, and lessen their environmental impact. Vehicle
diagnostics alerts and comprehensive reporting keep managers informed about their fleet.
