Drilling Software
Drilling operations run on precision - every hour on the rig needs to be captured and billed accurately. Aimsio helps drilling service companies manage field tickets, crew timesheets, job costs, and dispatch without the administrative burden.
Drilling challenges Aimsio solves
These are the problems that keep drilling companies from getting paid on time.
Day-Rate Tracking Accuracy
You're running 24-hour drilling operations with rotating shift crews, multiple service contractors, and a company man who wants a morning report before 6 AM. Your tool pusher is tracking everything in a paper morning report that takes an hour to fill out and another hour to reach the office.
AFE Cost Visibility
Your drilling program has an AFE the operator is watching closely. Every day, costs are coming in from mud services, casing crews, cementing, and directional drilling. Nobody has a real-time view of where you stand against the AFE until the accountant catches up at end of week.
Subcontractor Invoice Reconciliation
Three service contractors worked on your rig this week. Each one sends their own invoice. Before you pass costs through to the operator, someone has to verify every line against the morning reports. If the morning reports are incomplete, you're guessing.
Every rig hour captured, every day rate billed
Aimsio gives drilling companies the tools to capture daily field tickets, track crew hours against specific rigs and programs, and monitor job costs in real time - even from remote locations.
Outstanding. I have had the pleasure of working with the Aimsio platform for over 2 years and have not been disappointed. Several features have significantly reduced annoying administrative work that used to severely affect overall efficiency. For example, the ability to add our own Work Rules to Field Ticket entry minimizes costly data entry errors. Additionally, the system completely syncs with our ERP which reduces data entry — equipment, manpower, projects and clients only need to be entered in one system and are then available in Aimsio for Field use.

Answers to what drilling companies ask us most.
What is drilling operations software?
Drilling operations software is a platform designed to manage the field and administrative workflows of companies providing drilling services. It covers daily rig tickets, crew timesheets, day-rate tracking, job costing against AFE budgets, and automated invoicing, all in a single system built for the continuous, 24-hour nature of drilling work.
How does Aimsio handle day-rate tracking for drilling operations?
Aimsio's price books store contracted day rates, standby rates, and service pricing per operator and program. When a daily field ticket is submitted, the applicable rates are applied automatically based on the job and operator. Your billing team gets accurate invoices without manually cross-referencing rate sheets and email negotiations.
Can Aimsio track costs across multiple rigs and programs simultaneously?
Yes. Aimsio supports multi-job cost tracking with Job Performance reporting showing actuals against budgeted values per job and WBS phase. Your operations team can monitor where each program stands at any point without waiting for the accountant to catch up at end of week. Job cost and profitability data updates as tickets and timecards are processed.
Does Aimsio work at remote rig sites with limited connectivity?
Yes. The Aimsio mobile app works offline, allowing tool pushers and crew supervisors to submit daily tickets, log hours, and capture service contractor charges without cell service. When back in a connected area, a manual sync pushes everything through, so no rig data is lost between the field and the office.
How do crew timesheets work for drilling operations in Aimsio?
Aimsio timesheets can be tied to specific rigs, programs, and rotation schedules. Crews submit hours from the mobile app in the field, which are reviewed and approved by supervisors before flowing into payroll exports. Timesheet hours can be converted to billable tickets for client invoicing, so your billing team has everything they need without duplicate data entry.
What types of drilling services do Aimsio customers provide?
Aimsio is used by companies providing a wide range of drilling and wellsite services, including directional drilling, downhole services, nitrogen pumping, cementing, casing, frac services, flow back, heat exchangers, rig up and rig down, rig moves, corrosion control, sand management, and carbon tracking. If your operation captures field tickets, tracks crew hours, and bills clients based on rig time or day rates, Aimsio was built for your workflow.
What accounting systems does Aimsio integrate with?
Aimsio integrates with QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, Sage 300, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Microsoft Business Central, NetSuite, Acumatica, ADP, and more. Approved field data flows directly into your accounting system (invoices, billable items, and payroll exports) without manual re-entry. See the full list on the integrations page.
