Step Energy Services Goes Live with Spira

Jan. 30, 2012 - PRLog -- STEP Energy Services’ Go Live day with Spira’s wireless field ticketing software in the field came and went with little or no fan-fare….just the way we like it.

After a successful and smooth implementation, STEP launched Spira Command and Spira Mobile in early December 2011, giving the company the ability to have its field ticketing system completely wireless.

STEP Energy Services is a is a privately-owned, technically-focused, oilfield service company providing specialized coiled tubing units and associated pumping and support equipment to service the deep horizontal well market in Western Canada.

“STEP has been using the Spira system since its very first job in the field, and it has been a great system to work with so far,” says STEP Engineering Team Lead Lem Edillon.

“We chose Spira because not only myself, but also our president and COO, came from different service companies and we all had our struggles with the ticketing process and data capture. We wanted to use what we learned from that to make better decisions in the future.

“Acquiring and maintaining all activity, field ticketing, and payroll information in an efficient, easy-to-use, and customizable system was extremely important to the management team at STEP Energy Services,” says Edillon. “Having the data in a central, web-accessible application that is searchable and that can create automated reports are the key features attractive to STEP in choosing Spira.”

Features of Spira’s field ticketing system currently being used by STEP include exporting payroll to ADP®, exporting invoice data to Navision® and equipment utilization tracking. The specialty coil tubing company is also using a custom entry form for fluid pumping data capture. Moving forward, STEP also plans to take advantage of such Spira features as revenue reporting and estimate vs actual billing tracking.

“The greatest value has been STEP’s ability to customize Spira’s software and tailor the functionality to suit our needs as a coiled tubing and pumping services company,” says Edillon. “We are continuing to work with Spira to further improve processes both in the field and in our head office and look forward to some of the new features Spira has to offer in the future.”
