Newpark

Newpark's field operations ran on manual data entry, email-based QA, and scattered reporting. KoldOps deployed OpsBox as the custom ERP toolbox: we built the shell around Newpark's workflows, then handed the development environment to their ops leadership so the system keeps evolving with the operation.

The Problem

Every data point was touched by hand.

Field crews were entering inspection data manually, then re-entering it into separate systems for QA review. Reports were compiled by hand each week, often with transcription errors that triggered rework downstream. Leadership had no real-time view into project status. By the time data reached them, it was already stale. The QA process itself was a bottleneck: reviewers were spending hours cross-referencing entries against source documents instead of catching actual issues.

What We Built

OpsBox: a fully automated data pipeline from field to leadership.

01 Custom OpsBox core tailored to Newpark inspection and QA workflows

02 Structured digital capture replacing manual field data entry

03 Automated QA validation against source documents. No human re-entry

04 Real-time reporting dashboard for leadership with drill-down by project

05 Exception-based alerting so reviewers focus on actual issues, not transcription

06 Development environment handed to Newpark ops leadership for ongoing changes

Timeline Under 60 days from kickoff to production
