Frequently Asked Questions

Kissflow connects to existing systems via APIs and data integration. For example, you can pull well lists from your production system to populate forms, or push AFE data to your accounting system. Kissflow doesn't replace specialized E&P software—it coordinates workflows across those systems. Integration feasibility depends on your systems' API availability; we assess this during scoping.

Field personnel download relevant well information before heading out. They complete inspections, well tests, and production checks on mobile devices without connectivity. Data is stored locally and automatically syncs when they return to network coverage. This is essential for rural operations where wellsites have no cell service.

No. Kissflow is a workflow and data collection platform, not reservoir engineering software. However, you can integrate Kissflow with your engineering tools—field teams capture production data in Kissflow, which flows to your reservoir simulation or decline curve analysis software. Kissflow coordinates the data collection and approval workflows; specialized calculations happen in your technical applications.

Absolutely. Every E&P company has unique approval hierarchies, dollar thresholds, and operational procedures. Kissflow's low-code platform allows you to configure approval routing, modify forms, and adapt workflows to your specific requirements without programming. This flexibility is critical because upstream operations vary dramatically between companies and basins.

Simple workflows (maintenance requests, field inspections) deploy in 2-3 weeks. More complex implementations (AFE workflows with partner portals, integrated drilling cost tracking) typically take 4-8 weeks. Timeline depends on integration requirements with existing systems and workflow complexity. Kissflow's pre-built templates for common upstream processes accelerate deployment compared to custom development.

Kissflow provides implementation support, user training for field and office staff, technical documentation, and ongoing platform support. However, specialized E&P expertise (reservoir engineering, drilling operations, regulatory compliance) needs to come from your team. Kissflow is the workflow automation platform; your operational and technical knowledge is what makes it valuable for upstream operations.
