Krux: Rodren Drilling streamlining operations

Case Study

Rodren Drilling - streamlining operations with Krux

Location: Manitoba Canada

Customer: Rodren Drilling

Application: Data entry and analytics

Year: 2020

Rodren Drilling, a prominent player in the drilling industry, faced challenges with manual data entry, digital literacy levels among staff, and difficulty in standardising contract interpretations. These issues resulted in inefficiencies, delays, and inaccurate billing. 

By implementing Krux’s solutions, Rodren Drilling transformed their operations, ensuring accurate documentation, reducing errors, and facilitating better communication with clients.


Challenges

Rodren Drilling’s primary issues included a lack of standardisation in data entry and contract interpretation, compounded by varying levels of digital literacy among staff. This led to inconsistencies in billing and project management, with supervisors often misunderstanding or misapplying contract terms. 

Additionally, the manual spreadsheet system caused significant delays in project reconciliation, with some projects taking upwards of three months to resolve. There was also significant email traffic, complicating communication and efficiency.

  • Krux has significantly streamlined our operations, making it easier to document work accurately and efficiently, ensuring we get compensated for the excellent work we do.

Krux application

To tackle these challenges, Rodren Drilling adopted KruxLog and KruxMetrix. These solutions streamlined data entry with pre-defined options, reducing manual input errors and ensuring consistency.

KruxLog allowed supervisors to enter data efficiently, while KruxMetrix provided real-time analytics and visibility into project metrics. This integration reduced the email traffic and manual checking of spreadsheets, leading to a more streamlined and efficient workflow.
