Smarter Site Audits. Instant Sync. Complete Control.

When safety and compliance are on the line, delays aren't an option. Yet, in the Mining, Oil & Gas industries, remote sites and unreliable connectivity make real-time reporting nearly impossible—especially when relying on paper forms.

Strathcona Solutions builds custom Microsoft Power Platform apps that work anywhere—even without internet. Field teams can capture accurate data offline, and when reconnected, everything syncs automatically, streamlining workflows and eliminating manual errors.

CHALLENGE

Paper-Based Inspections Are Slowing You Down

In Mining and Oil & Gas, safety and compliance depend on fast, accurate field data—but many companies still rely on paper forms, spreadsheets, or outdated systems. This leads to:

Slow, error-prone data entry

Handwritten notes get lost or misinterpreted.

Delays in reporting

Safety issues and maintenance needs take too long to surface.

Compliance risks

Incomplete records make audits and incident tracking inefficient.

These challenges can create serious operational roadblocks:

• Field Operations Managers lack up-to-date inspection data, leading to poor decision-making.
• IT & Digital Transformation Leaders struggle to automate workflows due to poor connectivity.
• Compliance & Safety Officers don't have real-time access to reports, making it harder to track incidents and prove compliance.

Without a reliable digital solution, reporting remains slow and prone to errors—delaying the identification of safety risks, complicating compliance, and reducing operational efficiency.

SOLUTION
