Business Goal

A common platform to be built across proppant supply-chain to open up common communication channel and real-time streaming data, so oilfield service companies, sand suppliers, logistics service providers, terminals, carriers and drivers all benefit from the network effect.

Pain Areas

  • No ready solution in market specifically for Proppant management
  • No common platform for multiple stakeholders across proppant supply-chain
  • Lack of automation
  • Unavailability of real-time visibility
  • Lack of internet/network on field
  • No central dashboard/ reporting for decision making
