Editor's Notes

  1. Today we are going to discuss the main challenges managers in the energy sector face when overseeing mobile workers,and the top 10 waysto minimize these challenges whileimproving efficiency to increase revenue and reduce operating costs.
  2. Managing a fleet is not easy. Whether you are in production, liquid transportation,  a service organization or pipeline and facility construction, trying making your operation more efficient is a challenge. We have identified some common issues experienced by managers across the board to talk about today: Data management: Efficiently collecting accurate data from workers in the field is a big challenge typically involving time-consuming paperwork and manual data entry which wastes a lot of time for both field operators and office staff, and is prone to errors.Communication between field operators and the office:Inefficient ways of communicating lead to time wasted by both office staff and field operators. With field operators working in remote areas without network coverage, the situation is even more problematic. Keeping track of field operators and vehicles: It’s often difficult to know exactly where field operators are at all times and what they are doing. Having this information can be crucial to improving efficiency.Costs related to driver behavior and fuel consumption: Fuel consumption can really drive up operating costs, and poor driving habits are a big culprit. And finally, operator safety is a concern for all companies.
  3. A mobile workforce management solution, or MWM solution as we like to call it, is the most effective way to manage all of these challenges. This technology can be tailored to your business needs and integrated with your existing infrastructure to help you deal with all the unique issues you face, regardless of the type of work you do in the energy sector. A mobile workforce management solution in its simplest form consists of:Work order and fleet management software in the officeA mobile computing device in the vehicle or with the operatorAnd a cellular and/or satellite connection between the two, so data can be exchangedThis kind of solution also integrates with other back-end platforms such as accounting, payroll, operations, maintenance and more.As mentioned, there are 10 ways this technology can help your operation. These improvements can be broken down into two major categories: how to increase revenue and how to cut costs. We’ll talk about increasing revenue first.
  4. The business reality is simple: more jobs equal more money. An MWM solution increases efficiency and productivity so you can do more jobs every day, increasing your revenue. There are a number of ways this happens:Automating manual processesIncreasing Data AccuracyUtilizing vehicle and employee tracking Implementing in-vehicle navigationSpeeding communication between field operators and office staff
  5. Automating manual processes is an effective way to free up time for both office staff and field operators. An example of a manual process would be when a field operator fills out field tickets or work orders by hand, then submits them at the end of the week or month. A data entry clerk then has to input the data from the field ticket into the system. With this technology, data is sent to and from the mobile worker or vehicle automatically. The benefits of working this way include: Less paperwork for field operators to fill out, saving time. Eliminating the administrative overhead of manual data entry – no more frustrating hand written work orders to decipher. Once a work order is completed on the mobile device, your back-office system is updated in real-time. You can bill customers the same day work is completed, speeding billing and payroll cycles. Greater efficiency – field tickets can be generated electronically and sent directly to the operator’s mobile device.
  6. If your field operators are filling out work orders by hand, sometimes hours or days after they finished the job, it can be hard to get accurate data. With this solution, having your job data time-stamped throughout the day means you always know where, when and what your field operators are doing. Collecting better data means that you can run operations more efficiently. As field operators work, they complete work orders electronically. This means that data is always accurate and items such as inventory used are recorded as soon as they are used. Electronic work orders also save field operators a lot of time as there is no paperwork to complete before or after shift.
  7. Asset tracking allows you to tracking anything you wish, be it an operator, a vehicle or an object like a trailer. With this technology office staff know where all the operators are and can send the closest or most appropriate worker to a job, and field workers can complete more tickets per day. This allows your company to easily accommodate emergency and last-minute jobs to provide better customer service. MWM technology also lets you keep better track of any fixed or mobile asset in the field.Thistechnology can alsobe used to enhance your company’s journey management program. Vehicle and operator tracking is a simple way to reduce the risk to your employees and assets while they are on the road. Also, automatic check-ins keep operators working alone safe.
  8. Office or call center staff typically spend a lot of time trying to relay information to field workers but this is time that could be better spent helping customers. A mobile solution makes communication between field operators and office staff instant. There is no more playing phone tag. If your office staffneed to get information to a field operator, they can easily do that by sending messages in real-time directly to the mobile device. Even if the worker isn’t answering, office staff can be confident knowing he will get the message, which allows them to move on to other tasks.Client Example:For example, one of our field service clients did an audit of their help desk phone traffic and found that 30% of the calls were help desk attendants dispatching calls to the field operators. This meant that 30% of the time, the help desk attendants weren’t performing the main function of their job, which was to help customers.
  9. Whether your company does a lot of work in remote areas, or if you need to navigate on ice roads, which can change every year, in-vehicle navigation ensures field operators won’t get lost and have to waste fuel driving a lot of extra miles trying to find their way. It also eliminates the need for paper maps, which saves time as well.Integrated with work orders and field tickets, well sites or LSD coordinates are on the mobile computers and all your field operators have to do is simply follow the turn-by-turn directions to the location. You can add more GIS data layers and have specific mapping data relevant to your company displayed on the mobile computers. This in-vehicle navigation flexibility has the added benefit of saving time for office staff as they don’t have to be on the phone giving directions and helping field operators who are lost.
  10. Now let’s talk a little bit about decreasing costs. By implementing a mobile workforce management solution, you can significantly reduce costs associated with payroll, data entry, billing, fuel consumption, and vehicle wear.
  11. Technology can significantly reduce the time and costs associated with payroll processes. Payrolldata is automatically collected and time-stamped as the field operator goes through his day, so payroll data is as exact as it comes. Hours worked are automatically calculated and tracked by the system which can not only significantly reduce overtime pay losses, but steps can be taken within your company to reduce unnecessary overtime hours.
  12. As mentioned before, billing is always precise as the exact amount of time field operators spend at the job is recorded automatically. There are none of the errors associated with manual data entry, and no more “best guesses” – just accurate, instant figures. Capturing real-time data and hours leads to much faster billing and invoicing. Same day billing can speed up payment cycles by up to 3 months for most operations. In addition, fast tracking the billing cycle also reduces the cost of carrying payroll. If you can bill customers sooner, you can get paid sooner and reduce the interest costs of carrying payroll.
  13. In a mobile workforce operation, there are two areas where data is collected – in the field and in the office. In a traditional system that means there are two places where manual data entry has to happen. Manual data entry eats up a lot of time and money. Not only that, but it is error-prone and inefficient. A mobile solution gives you a single point of data entry which means information doesn’t need to be entered twice. Automating manual data entry in the field optimizes workflow to save time, and time savings translates into money saved as well. Also, staffing requirements are minimized and your business can expand without the need to hire 3rd party data entry staff.
  14. In addition to managing the work order and data collection processes more efficiently, this solution also includes standard driver behavior functionality, such as monitoring fuel consumption. Reducing fuel consumption is one of the most important issues facing managers, and at the same time it is hard to control effectively. When fuel costs account for 30% of most fleet budgets, finding ways of reducing consumption can make a big difference. Mobile workforce management technology lets you monitor driver behavior in order to track how much fuel is being wasted when field operators speed or idle unnecessarily. For example, often times when summer rolls around and the temperatures rise, drivers like to turn up the air conditioning. This isn’t that big of a deal, but when your field operators go to jobs and leave the engine running to keep the vehicle cool, it can become expensive for you. And if all your field operators do this, then it really adds up.
  15. A mobile solution also makes certain that your vehicles are being driven properly, which results in longer vehicle life spans and less maintenance costs. Vehicle diagnostic information can be pulled directly from your fleet vehicles and integrated with your maintenance program to ensure that vehicles are being serviced when they need it to avoid downtime and costly repairs as well as preventing expensive maintenance work. Scheduled vehicle maintenance can also be tracked and automated maintenance reminders can be generated for fleet maintenance personnel. This can ensure that vehicles are not being under or over-maintained, and wear and tear is reduced (for example, drivers running vehicles for 15000 km between oil changes). This software can also integrate with other maintenance programs for even more functionality.
  16. We’ve looked at how mobile workforce management technology can be used to generate time and cost savings, and we’ve thrown a lot of numbers and statistics at you to help illustrate our points. But an MWM solution can provide significant benefits that are more intangible but just as important, too. The biggest intangible benefit is in safety and risk management.
