AMS.Upstream
Trucks take off for remote locations and disappear in a black hole out of mobile phone range. Vital data is passed from one overworked human being to another and another—with understandable errors being made in the process. Even the best upstream crude companies have a hard time staying competitive these days, thanks to outdated systems that simply waste time and money.

For all these reasons and more, Provanté brings you AMS.Upstream, an exclusive satellite-based communication solution that helps your company streamline business processes, improve logistics, and enhance customer service. 

What makes Provanté the right choice?

The pros at Provanté know the energy business, almost as well as our clients. We’ve designed AMS. Upstream specifically with your needs in mind. With this advanced system, you can cost effectively handle everything from direct data entry to downloading routes. From tracking trucks to scheduling vehicle maintenance. Redirect drivers to handle customer priorities. Or know when so much as a door handle has been touched or a valve turned. There’s even a panic button to notify you in the event of an emergency.

What’s more, the system is extremely flexible, giving clients custom options that work for you, whether you need to track and manage a few trucks in your state or an entire fleet around the world.

Satellite communication is constant communication

AMS.Upstream relies on MSAT geosynchronous satellites in orbit thousands of miles above earth that provide blanket coverage for the United States, all of Central America, and northern South America. If you need global coverage, our Iridium LBT will give you pole-to-pole coverage. Mobile phone technology just can’t compete.

AMS.Upstream Features

AMS.Upstream’s suite of standard features help your company streamline its processes through the use of electronic forms, including work orders, daily logs and requisitions, that feed into your other business systems; instant messaging that always keeps your vehicle operators in touch; and GPS tracking that empowers your logistics group to react to changing conditions today and plan more effectively for tomorrow. Authorized users simply log in to a secure Provanté-hosted website to access information.
