Paelode Systems is an Oklahoma-based startup company that creates efficiencies in the oil & gas sector by applying technology to solve business-critical problems in innovative ways. With a combined 40 years of experience in the information technology and oil & gas sectors, the founders of Paelode Systems have witnessed many of these inefficient processes first-hand, and in late 2017, decided to do something about it. Paelode's flagship, end-to-end electronic ticketing and data workflow solution, known as lodeX, was brought to market in Q3/2018 and offers a reduction in administrative costs of up to 75%.
Rather than being quick to offer a one-size-fits-all solution, however, Paelode Systems takes a step back by approaching opportunities from a more "consultative" perspective. Only by understanding the customer's business, inside and out, should appropriate solutions be offered -- solutions which often involve the application of proven technologies, tailored to meet the customer's specific business needs.
