How a Growing Oilfield Hauler Discovered the Secret to Managing
their Growth
Panda
Tank and Vac Truck Services of Grande Prairie, AB, provides a
variety of tank truck, vacuum truck, and end-dump services to the
oilfields.
Since making the move to Axon in 2006, they have expanded their
fleet to over 80 units.
Office Manager Dixie Husereau spoke to us about their Axon
Experience.
What were some of the issues you had before
you started using Axon software?
“We were using QuickBooks® for our accounting software and managing
some of our other data in Excel spreadsheets. One of the
difficulties we had is that everything we do originates from a bill
of lading [ticket]. We handle a variety of calls every day in regard
to those tickets.
One of the biggest benefits with Axon is that the
ticket number is always at our fingertips once it’s been entered
into the system. With QuickBooks® , it was very challenging to go
back and find those tickets because it generated invoice numbers and
that number was the only way you had to find the right record.”
Does Axon save you time compared to
QuickBooks® ?
“Absolutely! Plus we’re able to provide better service to our
customers when they call in and have a question about a particular
ticket. Generally we’re able to answer them immediately, without
having to call them back after searching through piles of paper.
It’s all at our fingertips. I just find it very easy to navigate
through Axon. On both sides – accounts receivable and accounts
payable.

Tickets & Job Management
Axon's software is flexible. The Tickets
module works just as well for companies hauling gravel as for
companies providing service in the oil patch
Tickets
If you are providing a wide range of specialty
trucking services or hauling in the oilfield, you deal with hundreds of transactions daily.
Axon's ticket management system is specially designed to help you
manage this huge volume of information as efficiently as possible:
-
You can set up locations for pick up and drop
off, record times and volumes, and/or type of product and
service
-
You can set up standard job descriptions and
auxiliary charges
-
The system will automatically calculate fuel
surcharges
-
Invoicing is quick and easy. You can generate
invoices that group tickets with the same customer, land
location, and type of work
And the
ticket module is completely integrated with Axon's other
management systems --
driver pay, equipment management, invoicing and accounting.
Jobs
The Jobs module, Axon's newest option, is
particularly useful for oilfield companies moving oil rigs from one location
to another.
-
You can enter each piece of equipment working
on the move and track actual costs compared to estimated
expenses
-
The Jobs module handles both hourly and
contract work as well as permits and extra charges
-
If you are moving the same rig over and over
again, you simply copy the electronic paperwork. There's no need
to keep re-entering the same information
Real-time integration
Both Jobs and Tickets are fully integrated with
the other sub-systems such as Payables and Receivables and are a
convenient tool for distributing Payroll expenses to specific
assignments.
You enter your information once, and it instantly
updates every management application in your system that needs to
use that information.
