Case Study: Hughes Oilfield Transportation triples fleet and saves $200,000/year with Axon Software

Tripled Our Fleet & Saved $200,000 a Year

Hughes Oilfield Transportation, a Texas-based hot shot oilfield carrier, was struggling with fragmented accounting and dispatch—relying on QuickBooks and spreadsheets that couldn’t scale with growth. In 2007 they implemented Axon Software to replace QuickBooks and provide an integrated dispatch, accounting, payroll and reporting solution tailored to oilfield trucking.

Axon Software centralized data entry, automated invoicing and improved reporting and customer lookups, enabling Hughes to grow from about 50 to 150 trucks without adding billing staff and saving roughly $200,000 per year. Invoicing now averages under five minutes, two people process 1,100–1,500 tickets every two weeks, payroll (~$500,000 biweekly) is handled by one person, and management gains faster, actionable reporting.
