Top 5 Benefits of Inventory Control for Energy Companies

Oil and Gas Companies have always needed to track equipment and assets. Recently, the industry is experiencing pricing changes and rising costs, and many companies have used our Inventory System and Asset Tracking solutions with barcodes to manage and protect their inventory and assets.

Many companies have lost money on equipment, the stock they can’t sell, or broken inventory.  Instead of tracking everything manually, it is better to have an automated Inventory and Asset tracking system.

Oil & Gas Companies have unique challenges when tracking inventory.  Many assets and inventory can be at different locations (rigs, well sites, yards), and because those locations aren’t permanent, it can be a problem tracking everything.

Using ASAP Systems’ Inventory and Asset tracking solution, you can track equipment, inventory, materials, tools, and supplies at all locations, and easily move inventory between them.

Our Mobile App Access is designed for Field Operations, with both online and offline asset tracking. Our system lets Oil, Gas and Solar companies to handle inventory management and barcode scanning on-the-go.  You can manage your inventory in connectivity dead spots and remote locations. Save time by saving your data in the mobile app and syncing it in the cloud when you have Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity.  Your field staff can use their smartphone to see assets, check stock and locations, and even check-in/check-out equipment like tools.

Reduce Operational Costs

Operations and logistics can take up to 15-30% of the company’s total budget.  Using an automated Inventory & Asset tracking system lets you track your Opex, and lets you keep those costs down. ASAP Systems’ solution reduces your need to quickly buy a piece of equipment at high prices because your crew needs it immediately; now you know exactly where it is.  A lot of times a yard supervisor buys too much equipment and wastes money because you already had it.  Reduce downtime and costs by having the right inventory in stock.  No one wants to shut down a job site because they ran out of tools or supplies before they finished the job, or went way over budget.
