Case Study: J&S Drilling reduces downtime and improves efficiency with Assignar

How J&S Drilling Improves Efficiency & Reduces Downtime

J&S Drilling, an exploration, waterwell, geotechnical, and environmental drilling specialist, needed a better way to manage field staff, assets, and paperwork across remote three-person crews. Before March 2022, they relied on spreadsheets, PDFs, and writable forms, which made real-time tracking, supervision, and end-of-job reporting difficult. They chose Assignar to bring scheduling, live data, HR timesheets, safety, training, and asset management into one system.

With Assignar, J&S Drilling implemented a scheduler, live field data capture, pre-start checklists, and asset maintenance tracking to avoid double-booking and stay ahead of servicing needs. Assignar helped reduce downtime through timely maintenance notifications and early identification of equipment issues, while also improving scheduling efficiency and worker satisfaction. The company reported faster resource scheduling, reduced equipment downtime, and better planning across multiple projects.
