Field Approvals Shouldn't Stall the Rig

DottedSign brings mobile approvals, audit-ready records, and real-time visibility to oilfield service teams across Texas — so work authorizations, safety approvals, and service tickets keep moving between the rig site and the front office.

Approval Delays Are Quietly Costing Your Oilfield Operations

  • Work authorizations sit waiting for a signature from someone back at the yard or the front office.

  • Paper safety forms and service tickets get lost or delayed in transit between rig sites and headquarters.

  • Without visibility across sites, an operations lead has no way to know where a job is stuck without calling every crew to check.

  • Compliance and audit risk builds up when sign-offs are delayed, incomplete, or missing entirely.

  • Idle crews and equipment wait on authorization that could have been signed from a phone in seconds.

  • Inconsistent approval processes across multiple remote sites make it hard to enforce one standard.

  • A completed job can't be closed out or invoiced until every approval is in — so paperwork delays quietly delay billing too.

Field Approval & Mobile Signature Capabilities

Purpose-built for how oilfield service teams actually approve work, wherever the crew is standing.

img-items-1

Approve From the Rig Floor

Site supervisors, HSE leads, and ops managers sign and approve work authorizations from a phone or tablet at the well site — no trip back to the yard required.

img-items-2

Multi-Step Approval Routing

Set the sign-off sequence once — DottedSign routes each work order or safety form to the right supervisor, HSE reviewer, or ops manager automatically, in order.

img-items-3

Real-Time Site Visibility

Give an operations lead one view of every site's approval status — who's signed, what's pending, and where a service ticket is stuck — so a stalled job gets caught before it costs a shift.

img-items-4

Reusable Field Templates

Standardize safety forms, service tickets, and inspection checklists into reusable templates so crews can submit a new request in minutes.

img-items-5

Audit-Ready Records

Every signature is time-stamped and tamper-evident, giving you a complete, compliance-ready audit trail for every work authorization and inspection.

img-items-6

Multi-Site Operations Support

Manage approvals across every rig, lease, and field office from one account, with the same workflow no matter how remote the location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can field crews sign approvals from a rig site with limited connectivity?

-

Yes. DottedSign works fully on phones and tablets, so site supervisors, HSE reviewers, and crew leads can review and sign approvals directly from the wellsite. Submissions sync automatically once a connection is available.

What kinds of oilfield workflows can be digitized with DottedSign?

+

DottedSign supports work authorizations, safety forms, service tickets, inspections, incident reports, and contractor onboarding documents, along with any other approval workflow your team already handles on paper.

How does multi-step approval routing work for a work order?

+

You set the approval sequence once — for example, site supervisor, then HSE reviewer, then operations manager — and DottedSign automatically routes each submission through that chain in order, notifying the next approver as soon as the previous one signs.

Are electronic signatures on oilfield service tickets and safety forms legally binding in Texas?

+

Yes. Electronic signatures are legally binding under the U.S. federal ESIGN Act and the Texas Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), which Texas has adopted. DottedSign signatures carry the same legal weight as wet-ink signatures for service tickets, work authorizations, and safety documentation.

How does DottedSign help with compliance and audit readiness?

+

Every signed document includes a time-stamped, tamper-evident audit trail showing exactly who approved what and when, giving you a complete record to support HSE audits or regulatory review.

Can DottedSign scale across multiple rig sites and field offices?

+

Yes. You can manage approvals across every site your company operates from a single account, with consistent workflows and centralized visibility into where each approval stands.

How quickly can our team get up and running?

+

Most field teams approve their first work order within days, not weeks. You can upload your existing safety forms and service ticket templates directly, with no lengthy setup process.

Do our existing service ticket and inspection PDFs work with DottedSign?

+

Yes. You can upload your existing PDF forms and templates directly, with no reformatting required, and add signature, date, and approval fields exactly where you need them.

Do contractors and vendors need a DottedSign account to sign a document?

+

No. Signers you invite can review and sign a document without creating a DottedSign account, so contractors and vendors can complete onboarding or sign-off with no extra setup on their end.

Does DottedSign integrate with the systems our operations team already uses?

+

DottedSign supports API integration so you can connect approval workflows with your existing operations, maintenance, or compliance systems, reducing duplicate data entry between platforms.
