WHY BLACKGOLD?

Behind the scenes

Behavioral User Research

In 2016, we conducted a collaborative study interviewing and observing well operators, operations teams, rig personnel, drill pipe manufacturers and rental companies, inspection companies and logistical providers. Analyzing the pain points and challenges of such complex operations, we came out with one realization. For any digitalization to be feasible in such extreme environments, it had to be a solution that was simple, something that did not add burden on various personnel, and most of all, adapted itself to each user.

Pareto Principle – The 80/20 rule

After analyzing the human challenges, we started analyzing and collecting data, operational history, inspection history and maintenance logs of a wide range of machinery and devices. We compared this with data available for various different industries. The outcome was that 20% of root causes were always responsible for 80% of the problems. Instead of using this logic on the process itself which everyone was attempting, we used that as our design principle and work started on our patent pending platform.

Human Centered Design

We take pride in a ‘Human first’ approach. We are an innovation and design team that specializes in human centered design, behavioral research and analytics. Our projects are guided by the vision of subject matter experts from various areas of industries and university professors with specializations on how humans behave, think and interact. They bring to you multi disciplinary backgrounds in human factors, ergonomics, cognition, usability and related fields.  With experience comes knowledge, hence the simplicity and intuitiveness that is a trademark of everything we do.

Blackgold – from one industry and beyond

The first version of the product was launched exclusively for the Oil Gas industry and hence it was named BlackGold. For the subsequent release, we validated our research data against multiple other verticals facing similar productivity and efficiency issues and our new version you see today was rolled out and accommodates complex asset structures, real time integration with machinery and more.
