WorkSync team collaborating on operational planning with field maps

We Built WorkSync Because We Lived the Problem

Our Story

Before WorkSync, we designed and deployed SCADA infrastructure for major pipeline operators, built OT network architecture for E&P companies, and led operational transformation programs across oil & gas, LNG, and utilities. We saw the same pattern everywhere: organizations spending millions on data infrastructure, then making field decisions on habit and spreadsheets.

The system to close that loop didn't exist — so we built it. WorkSync started as an internal operational transformation program at a 1,800+ well upstream operator in the Western Anadarko Basin. The results were measurable in the first 90 days: 40% OPEX reduction, TRIR from 1.8 to 0.3, 15% free cash flow uplift. We productized it because the problem is not unique to one operator. It is universal.

Every upstream and midstream company we've worked with faces the same gap between their data and their field execution.

How We Build

01

Action Over Reporting

If it doesn’t change what someone does tomorrow morning, it doesn’t belong in the system.

Systems should drive decisions, not just display data. Every output from WorkSync is designed to change behavior, not generate slides.

02

Prioritization Drives Performance

Not all problems are equal. The highest-value work happens first — always.

Economic impact scoring ensures your teams execute on what actually moves the needle, not what happens to be next on the list.

03

Field Simplicity Matters

If a pumper can’t use it at 6 AM in a truck cab, it fails. We design for the field first.

The best system in the world is worthless if the field won’t adopt it. Every interface is built for operators, not analysts.

04

Intelligence Must Be Continuous

Operational decisions can’t wait for batch runs. The loop never stops.

Continuous data ingestion, scoring, and routing — not weekly reports or monthly reviews.

05

Integrate, Don’t Replace

Your teams keep their tools. WorkSync adds the intelligence layer on top.

We connect to what you already run — SCADA, ERP, CMMS, GIS. No rip-and-replace.

06

Executive Clarity Without Manual Effort

If someone is building a PowerPoint to brief leadership, the system has already failed.

Leadership visibility should be automatic. Real-time dashboards, not manually assembled reports.

Why Operational Design Matters for People

Clear priorities don't just improve efficiency — they create space for your people to grow.

When schedules are chaos and priorities change every hour, there's no room for mentorship. New hires survive their first year instead of learning the operation. Experienced operators spend their days firefighting instead of teaching. The knowledge that took decades to build walks out the door without ever being transferred.

Optimized routing and ranked work plans change this equation. When your experienced people aren't buried in reactive triage, ride-alongs actually happen. New operators build competence before they're making critical decisions alone on a lease road at 5 AM.

The companies that retain talent aren't the ones with the biggest training budgets. They're the ones where the schedule has room — room for people to validate their knowledge, room to grow at a pace that builds real confidence, and room to focus on learning instead of surviving.

Clear priorities create space. Space creates time for development. Development creates competence. Competence creates retention.

LinkedIn

Michael brings 15+ years of operations consulting across oil & gas, LNG, and industrial operations. He architected the OPS platform — the closed-loop decision system at the core of WorkSync. His work on operational transformation programs has delivered measurable results including reducing TRIR from 1.8 to 0.3. He designs systems that work the way operations actually run.

Integration & Digital Transformation

Trevor brings a process controls and field engineering background to operational intelligence — applying systems-thinking and integration principles to large-scale digital transformation programs. He has led integration and process optimization initiatives at major oil & gas and midstream companies, unifying production accounting, ERP, and field data into cohesive operational platforms. He leads technology integration, product development, and go-to-market strategy.

Where We're Going

We're building the operating system for distributed energy infrastructure. Today, WorkSync serves upstream and midstream operators. Tomorrow, we're expanding into gas utilities, oilfield services, contract compression, and water midstream — any operation where field execution is disconnected from operational intelligence.

The OPS engine and FlowSync platform are designed to be domain-agnostic. The intelligence loop works the same way whether you're managing wells, pipelines, or distribution networks. What changes are the domain-specific rules, the integration points, and the scoring models.
