Case Study: Ironwood Midstream Energy Partners saves 30 hours a month with PakEnergy

Replacing QuickBooks, Ironwood Midstream Energy Partners Saved 30 hours a Month by Automating Financial Operations Across Multiple Businesses

Ironwood Midstream Energy Partners, a fast-growing midstream oil and gas company based in San Antonio, outgrew QuickBooks as it expanded from three to five businesses and accumulated hundreds of miles of pipeline assets. The finance team struggled with limited user controls, weak reporting, and no turnkey way to manage fixed assets, forcing them to track important data in Excel and spend too much time on manual accounting work. PakEnergy provided a purpose-built oil and gas software solution to address these gaps.

PakEnergy implemented its Midstream ERP, automated AP workflow, Pak Docs digital document management, and plans for PakEnergy Mobile for Midstream to streamline financial operations and field ticketing. The result was better access controls, fully documented audit trails, faster invoice and document processing, and on-demand reporting that saved Ironwood Midstream about 30 hours a month, including roughly eight hours a month from report writing alone. With PakEnergy, the company reduced paper handling, improved analytics, and gained a scalable system built to support continued growth.
