Oil Field Services Company Improves Utilization and Working Capital with Power BI

Oil Field Services Make Big Gains with Power BI

Key personnel gained needed visibility and ultimately improvements for AR, utilization and profitability

A large industrial services company struggled with limited visibility into critical business operations, making data-driven decision-making difficult. Key metrics like technician utilization, job profitability, AR, AP, and safety certifications were scattered across multiple ERP systems. Without a centralized view, tracking performance and optimizing operations became inefficient and time-consuming. Data silos slowed decision-making and created operational blind spots.

To solve this, the company implemented Industrial Services Power BI Dashboards to unify data and enhance reporting. The solution integrated key performance indicators into a single, real-time dashboard. Teams could now track profitability, monitor efficiency, and ensure compliance with greater accuracy. With a clear view of business metrics, leadership could make informed decisions faster and drive operational improvements.

Customer Challenges

An industrial oil field services company operating globally lacked visibility into critical KPIs like utilization, DSO, and profitability. Workforce management struggled to optimize staff utilization, leading to inefficiencies. DSO spiraled out of control, severely constraining working capital. Field managers lacked real-time data, making poor decisions that harmed job profitability and slowed operations.

As a result, the company couldn’t scale as planned and faced higher borrowing needs for working capital. Customer relationships suffered due to delays and inefficiencies. Without better data visibility and control, profitability declined while financial and operational risks increased. The company needed an immediate solution to regain control, improve efficiency and drive sustainable growth.
