About Spira
DIGITAL SINCE 2004
Spira was founded to address the complex challenge of digitally collecting and managing operational billing and payroll data generated from remote locations, including field ticketing.
With the growing volume of manually recorded data associated with remote labor, equipment and materials in disconnected, or "off-line" environments, Spira developed the ORP®, an innovative software platform to address this unique requirement. Spira's ORP® serves markets across North America, with clients in the well servicing, drilling and completions, production testing, construction, fluid hauling, safety, excavating, daylighting and concrete pouring businesses.
Where needs exist to capture and transmit field data, Spira brings value-added operational, reporting, and risk-management capabilities, which facilitates streamlined operations, improved collections, top line growth, and competitive advantages.
