SMS Communications: Wellsite Report’s newest addition

We’ve all been there. We send an email expecting it will get read and action will be taken as necessary only for an employee to say, “I didn’t see your email.” It’s hard enough to get co-workers to respond efficiently in the office, but when your co-workers are out on the oil field, the problem compounds. E-mails have a 15-22% open rate, but SMS messages have an open rate of over 98%. Your communication deserves to be read, and that’s why Wellsite Report now offers SMS communications.

How it Works

You can now send SMS messages to any number of personnel, at any time, directly from the website. Start by choosing who receives the message, from personnel by position, to by base, to single selection, and more. Next, craft your message. Text messages can include a quick update (“Remember to submit your forms before end of day”), an alert (“Due to weather, no driving after 8pm”), a link to a report, or any other piece of information to be delivered. Want to send a map of the site? Done. Need to ensure a key report gets seen immediately? Download it from Wellsite Report and then share it through SMS messages. Easy!

You can also upload PDFs or images that will be linked in your messages. Finally, follow up on the texts by exporting a delivery report instantly to confirm message delivery or review any errors for each single recipient. Find out who successfully received your text message and if the message failed, know why it failed.
