For oilfield service ops teams
The operations system for oilfield service companies.
Scheduling, certs, journeys, forms, training, and crew comms in one system, instead of parallel subscriptions held together by one person. Assign a worker with an expired cert and the job won't dispatch.
Built by a founder with 20 years in O&G, 17 in well testing.
15 minutes, set up with your crews and job types. No contract, no setup fee.
The 6 AM reality
6 AM. The one person who knows is off today.
Who's on the Pad 7 job tomorrow?
6:12 AM
Dana would know. She's off till Monday.
6:14 AM
Is that crew's H2S current?
6:15 AM
It's in the cert tracker. Dana has the login.
6:21 AM
Did the night crew check in?
6:22 AM
Dana usually calls them.
6:30 AM
The operation works. It works through Dana.
With HitchGuardian, it's not in one person's head.
Every morning the operations report lands in every admin's inbox: each job, each worker's status, days in and how close they are to days off, and crew days in the field per customer. Need something else? Text OpsGuardian the question you'd have texted Dana. She stays off till Monday.
"20 years in the oilfield. Same thing every season: the dispatcher rotates out, and what was in their head never makes it to the cross‑shift. Nobody's fault. There was nowhere to put it. I built HitchGuardian so there is."
Ricardo Esteban, Founder. 20 years in O&G, 17 in well testing.
What stays
Same way you run today. Just not through one person.
Your process stays. The coordination already happens, and it works. What goes is the pile of tools around it, and the need for one person to hold them together.
One system, not parallel subscriptions
What it replaces.
Crew comms
Replaces the messaging and calling app.
Certs
Replaces the cert tracker and the expiry spreadsheet.
Safety and field forms
Replaces the forms app.
Training and competency
Replaces the training records system.
Scheduling and journeys
Replaces the dispatch workbook.
Bulletins and memos
Part of crew comms, not one more app.
What changes
Same process. Every job, every time.
Before the truck rolls
Nobody leaves the yard unless the job checks out.
- Certs and training checked against the job
- Crew confirmed by call, SMS, or in-app message
- Job forms and documents open to the crew once deployed
On the job
- Journeys tracked yard to lease, check-ins confirmed
- Forms filled out offline, synced when reception returns
- Calls, SMS, and internal messages in one place
Between jobs
- Competency and training modules done from the phone
- Bulletins and memos pushed to every crew, saved to read offline
For the office
- Operations report emailed to admins every morning
- Admins run the system through OpsGuardian, the ops desk you text
- Every record filed automatically, nothing re-keyed
Mobile app for field workers
Your crew has it on their phone.
Workers confirm availability, view assignments, check in on-site, and message dispatch directly from the app. iOS and Android.
- Live map with job location and status
- Accept or decline job assignments
- Direct messaging with dispatch
- Ready-for-work toggle
The workflow
How it works in the field
Build the job
Add the site. Add the crew. Set what the job requires.
The system checks it
Certs and training checked against the job. Availability confirmed. Gaps flagged before anyone is sent.
Dispatch and run the job
Every worker confirms the job. Journey tracked yard to lease. Forms and records filed automatically.
The test
Assign a worker whose H2S expired yesterday.
On a spreadsheet, nothing happens. The name goes on the job and somebody finds out at the gate.
HitchGuardian
The job won't dispatch.
- The expired cert is flagged before anyone is sent
- The system names who is qualified instead
- Nobody cross-checks anything, because the schedule and the certs share one record
