RigER vs RTMS
Why You Should Make the Switch

As oilfield service providers continue to grow and operations become more complex, the limitations of legacy software like RTMS become increasingly apparent. Managing mature business challenges with outdated systems and clusters of disparate applications simply doesn’t work anymore. This is why many companies are upgrading from RTMS to RigER.
If you’re considering upgrading your oilfield management solution, it’s crucial to understand how both RTMS and RigER can meet your business requirements. For lowering operational costs, automating key business processes, and boosting productivity, you should evaluate which features and functionalities will enhance efficiency and scale with your business.
Both RigER and RTMS offer software designed to help oilfield service companies manage their operations, but there is a significant gap in the depth of features. Below, we compare RigER and RTMS so that business leaders can decide which solution will meet their needs now and in the long run.
Note: RigER is a suite of business management applications that includes comprehensive oilfield management functionality. In this comparison, we will focus primarily on key operational functionalities.
RigER Overview
RigER supports oilfield service companies at every stage of growth with a cloud-based, unified platform that provides real-time data, customizable fields, and role-based dashboards. Beyond basic operational management, RigER offers a full suite of solutions to increase efficiency: CRM, mobile applications, dispatching and scheduling, inventory management, business analytics, and more. Built for the cloud, RigER provides real-time business data and requires no additional IT infrastructure.
RigER functions as an end-to-end oilfield management solution, enabling automatic job tracking, inventory management, and detailed reporting. It goes beyond simple field ticketing and includes functionalities that can reduce the need for additional headcount, thereby running your entire business more efficiently.
RTMS Overview
RTMS has been a starting point for many oilfield service companies due to its basic operational functionalities. Users can manage equipment rentals, track field tickets, and generate simple financial reports.
However, RTMS is a standalone, legacy product that is limited to basic operations and relies heavily on manual processes and third-party integrations for advanced features. Detailed reporting often requires exporting data into spreadsheets and viewing it across multiple platforms.
RigER vs. RTMS
While both platforms serve similar purposes, RigER’s depth of functionality significantly outshines RTMS, especially when it comes to comprehensive and integrated features.

RigER Implementation for Environmental Services Company

“At first we tried to develop an in-house database system to track equipment and electronic tickets. Development lasted over four years, but we needed a product that could fully support what we do. And RigER did exactly that. We chose RigER because it met a lot of our needs for Equipment Tracking, Proposal Development and Electronic Field Ticket generation. And one of the main key factors in our decision was the ability to customize the RigER platform to match up with Vapor Point work processes.”
