Dear Oil and Gas Professional:

When we first started selling our solution almost 10 years ago, our clientele told us:

What I’m really looking for is a way to track my field data.”

Our clients detailed the aggravation and exasperation they were experiencing with the collection of field data from her wells. 

One of our clients had been piloting a handheld product in one of their field offices with no success. 

  • Hardcoded Nightmare- The handhelds had been hardcoded and every time a change was made the handhelds had to be sent back to the head office to be reprogrammed.
  • Confusing Support- Operators were getting the programmers to add additional fields onto their handhelds that no one else had, making the software inconsistent and hard to troubleshoot.
  • Not Powerful Enough- The handheld could only handle one application and the operators still had to carry around sheets of paper to collect the rest of their data.
  • Cumbersome Connection- Instead of spending an hour and a half entering their data into the computer manually, operators were spending upwards to four hours trying to get the handheld to connect to the head office application because of the long transfer time and the dial-up connection dropping.
  • No Room For Growth- It was a point-to-point product with no future, there was no way that this thing could ever collect data for more than one application.

HotButton created not just one, but MULTIPLE, field data capture solutions from one core product - ArrowSync

We developed our solutions with integrity, expertise and fun, all at the same time.  And in the meantime we created strong, powerful relationships with our customers because we involved them each step of the way.

ArrowSync is the product of choice for technology companies to create a handheld solution for their established applications

Are you wondering how you can collect data for two applications using only our software and one handheld?”

Discover the Power of ArrowSync

You can outfit each one of your field operators with a handheld

And save time and money!

Recover Revenue

  • Eliminate the need for third-party data entry - Minimize the margin for error.
  • Flash Memory Cards - The technology resides on flash memory cards, not on the handheld.

3 Ways Using a Flash Memory Card Benefits You:

  1. Able to operate on a variety of handheld devices.
  2. Reduce the potential of lost data if a handheld is reset or destroyed.
  3. Field operators can exchange data by switching flash memory cards.
  • Reduced Input Errors - As a result of no longer having to complete paper forms in addition to recording the data digitally, field operators have noted significant timesavings and less errors in their data entries.
  • Cost Justification - On average our users experience cost savings of $550 CDN per well per year- with just ONE ArrowSync solution! For example, an oil company operating 50 wells will receive their handheld purchase payback in 2.5 months and a net savings of $2,042 per month (based on the purchase of a $5000 Intrinsically Safe handheld and a monthly fee of $5 per well)… and that’s just on 50 wells, with one handheld data capture solution.

Increase Revenue

  • Prevention - Data is immediately available for analysis, and a user can spot trends and troubleshoot, create customized reports, and minimize downtime. Saving time makes money.
  • Hardware & Software Solutions - We are a value added reseller for handheld products offering the whole package; your software solutions plus handhelds.

This Unique Situation Has 3 Benefits To You:

  1. Testing - We test the handhelds before they are deployed to the field. They are ready to use when you receive them. No wasted time on set up.
  2. Preferred Pricing - We are able to provide a variety of handheld devices and other associated hardware items to end users with special pricing.
  3. Customer Support - We know how our software works on the hardware and can provide customer support in both areas.
  • Focus on Operations - Users have the opportunity to focus on the operational side of their job without having to be concerned with time-consuming paper-pushing. This allows users to monitor, trend and analyze their field assets. Users are empowered to optimize production which can increase a company’s profits. 

Easy to Use & Administer

  • Only See What You Need - ArrowSync has the powerful capability of assigning specific data fields from the existing application to field operators. ArrowSync provides the operator only with the portion of the application required to complete their job, not the entire application.
  • No Internet, No Problem - ArrowSync can collect data even if an Internet connection is not readily available. Using ArrowSync, the field operator collects data while disconnected from the Internet and then synchronizes to the central database when access to the Internet is available.
  • Real-time Updates - Field operators can receive updates and changes to integrated ArrowSync solutions from the central database upon synchronization without having their handheld recalled.
  • History & Status - Administrators know the last synchronization of each field operator and the status of the data on each handheld.
  • Data Control - All the collected data resides, and is controlled, at the end user's central database.

So you now know you can recover AND increase your revenue with an ArrowSync solution but there are other handheld solutions out there- could you have the same experience trying something else?

NO WAY!

We have spent countless hours PERFECTING ArrowSync making it a REVOLUTIONARY solution with benefits that cannot be replicated by a cookie cutter solution.

What Are the Benefits of Using an ArrowSync Handheld Solution

Over OTHER handheld solutions?

  • Add-On To ANY Back End System - We provide the remote data entry and data viewing system as an add-on to a back end system. The fact that we provide tight integration with back end systems from other vendors, (namely PVR, Horizon and Production Center) makes us unique.

  • No other product provides tight integration with more than one back end system - With ArrowSync, data flows in both directions, not just data entered on the handheld but also business rules are implemented on the handheld that mirror those used in the back end system (including calculations).

“What I really like about ArrowSync, as opposed to the handheld system we were using before is that the handheld implements the exact business rules we need for Production Center. No other handheld product can do that. Not with Production Center, not with any other backend application.”

Jeff Statt, Petris (formerly Production Access)

  • ArrowSync solutions are an extension of your back end applications - Our solution is always installed at your office (behind your own corporate firewalls). This means that YOU OWN YOUR DATA, not HotButton. This is remarkably rare amongst our competitors. Other systems, have a central server that stores all your collected data and you must extract the data from this centralized server and push it into your own back end system. This requires more work for you, and it prevents tight integration between the two systems because the host that’s storing the data defines the business rules regarding data collections, not the other way around.
  • Remote data entry and viewing system - Remote data entry and data viewing system that operates identically on both your handhelds and your PC.
  • Flash memory card storage - ArrowSync stores the solution and data on a flash card instead of using an “in memory” program on the handheld. If you were using an “in memory” program and the handheld battery died, you would loose the program and all of your data. With ArrowSync you simply put your flashcard into a new handheld and you will have all of your information.
  • Handheld or laptop - You can choose a handheld, laptop, or tablet for your operators and ArrowSync will provide you with exceptional field data capture regardless of the hardware.
  • Seamless solution - Send data back and forth between ArrowSync and your own backend system. Data can be edited on either system and the edits are displayed on both systems.
  • Make informed decisions - You can have access to MORE INFORMATION. We pull a lot of information from your backend system that is viewable on the handheld (and sometimes editable) that is not part of the daily readings (well specs, meter specs, tank specs).
  • Send information when you want to - With ArrowSync you can synchronize your handheld with the backend system when it is convenient for you and based on your company rules. Other systems require you to sync every day, before midnight, otherwise you lose your data.
  • Centralized run management system - No more manually configuring every single handheld to add a new well, tank, or meter. ArrowSync’s easy administrative feature makes this simple and automated.
