Case Study: Rafter 9 Oilfield Services achieves 60–75% admin time savings and six-figure annual cost reductions with Axon Software

Rafter 9 Oilfield Services - Customer Case Study

Rafter 9 Oilfield Services Inc., a lean oilfield services company in Brooks, Alberta run administratively by co‑owner Mac Anderson, faced rapidly growing ticket volumes and time‑consuming manual workflows in Excel and Simply Accounting. To address these challenges they adopted Axon Software in 2008 to centralize ticketing, invoicing and payroll processing.

Axon Software provided an integrated solution—single ticket entry that feeds revenue, pending AR and payroll, EDI/Cortex connectivity, and time‑saving features like ticket copying—that cut payroll and invoicing effort by roughly 60–75%. Mac reports Axon Software has likely saved Rafter 9 at least $100,000–$200,000 annually in admin costs, enables growth (doubling the fleet would likely require only one additional clerical hire), and improved driver settlements and support responsiveness.
