Feuling an Efficient, Reliable Fleet
Feuling an Efficient, Reliable Fleet
As oil is the driving source powering many engines, the vehicles and equipment of a fleet hold the same
indispensable value to companies like Kings Oil Tools. Kings Oil Tools provides oil well servicing, testing and
maintenance to ensure rigs run efficiently and continue uninterrupted production.
The company’s approach to maintaining oil wells and rigs is reflected in their proactive approach to managing
maintenance for 130 vehicles and pieces of equipment. This wasn’t always the case, though. Prior to AUTOsist, Kings
Oil Tools felt it struggled consistently tracking equipment, repairs, and services adequately in the past. It lacked a
flexible system to create and store inspections, work orders, and service repair details.

“Nobody understood when something was done, who’s supposed to do what and how long it took
to fix the problem. AUTOsist really put all of this in line now.”

After implementing AUTOsist, there is now confidence across the company that repairs are being made on time, remaining consistent with its maintenance, and avoiding significant repairs or shop visits when things go wrong due to poor maintenance.

An added complexity facing Kings Oil Tools is having to manage its mobile assets across several different locations.
Since managers can’t be everywhere at once, the company needed a way for drivers, safety specialists, technicians,
and fleet managers to work cohesively to identify and address issues and work order status with each other.
The compatibility of the AUTOsist mobile app and cloud-based software provided an easy-to-use system for drivers
and safety specialists to identify maintenance or compliance issues and immediately communicate their findings at a
detailed level that is organized and standardized across the company’s fleet.

“I love AUTOsist’s tracking ability for our equipment, the reminders for regularly scheduled maintenance
or inspections, and how everything that is done with, or to a specific piece of equipment, is all together in
one place and we can go back and review it at any time.”

As soon as an inspection is submitted, no matter where the inspection took place using the mobile app, an email
notification is sent to local managers and shop foremans identifying the items necessary to kick off the maintenance
repair process. The efficiency of the maintenance process streamlined the inspection and repair process according to
Loudat, and has made his life much, much easier.
Kings Oil Tools’ vast range of equipment and vehicles emphasizes the need for easily customized fleet maintenance
software. With AUTOsist, the company created 14 different electronic inspection forms for each unique mobile
asset. The team can quickly access the correct electronic inspection and submit the form without having to cycle
through fields that don’t apply to a specific vehicle or piece of equipment.
From there, the shop knows exactly what repair is needed and can keep managers informed with status updates
through completion. At any time, managers can pull reports for a specific piece of equipment or vehicle, or for the
entire fleet at a given location.

There’s No Compromising Compliance
There’s No Compromising Compliance
Many of the pieces of equipment Kings Oil Tools’ uses to service wells are heavy-duty and if not properly maintained,
present a hazard on the road. With safety at the forefront of the company’s values, they now have peace of mind
that their equipment is compliant and in good standing.
Kings Oil Tools also has commercial vehicles in its fleet that must remain Department of Transportation (DOT)
compliant and others that aren’t mandated but still need inspection documentation stored for audits. Having all of
the inspection details accessible both on the road and on location prevents any compliance issues.

“When we're towing a lot of this equipment or driving any of this equipment, you don’t want to create any issues out on the road and you're not a moving violation. It's imperative that these things be running top-notch and that we’re capturing issues before those guys get out there where you can create any unforeseen problem.”

“AUTOsist’s customer service is crazy good. I don’t know how many companies are as fast and
responsive, it amazes me. I contact the team and it’s within literally 15 minutes I get a response or that
they’re looking into it already. We bombard them with all this stuff but it’s always no problem, never an
issue. They don't waste any of our time and that is very much appreciated.”
