Management Controls, Inc.'s innovative mobile solution has been deployed to 8 offshore drilling platforms in the Gulf of Mexico to increase cost controls & eliminate contractor spend leakage
One of the largest global oil & gas companies in the world has expanded its use of the TRACK Platform from downstream refineries to upstream offshore drilling. The TRACK Platform by Management Controls, Inc. (MCi) is a complete contractor management software solution that has been deployed to 8 offshore drilling platforms in the Gulf of Mexico this quarter with additional sites planned in 2021. With the addition of the offshore platforms, the tier 1 oil & gas company now has real time contractor visibility across more than 20 sites, including 13 refineries and chemical plants around the globe. These sites successfully drive cost control initiatives and reduce risk using the TRACK Platform year after year.The TRACK Platform has a long history of success in many industries that rely heavily on Contracted Services to perform routine maintenance, capital projects, shutdowns, turnarounds, and outages. TRACK has been tested and proven to be effective in a wide variety of working environments, including offshore platforms. MCi has delivered exciting technological innovations for mobile devices to enable this reliable contractor cost control software and hardware combination in the most challenging offshore locations.
MCi's Virtual Gate & Kiosk mobile applications give companies full transparency into their contractor workforce activity, wherever work is being done. The innovative technology has enabled the expansion of the TRACK Platform into oil & gas midstream operations, private railroads, open pit mines, locations without gate entry, and now offshore drilling platforms.
