Rig welders

Your rig rate is not your labor rate. Bill it that way.

RigTicket writes the field ticket the way a welding rig actually gets paid: hours, rig time, per diem, standby and consumables on separate lines, signed on the spot, rolled into an invoice that adds up.

  • Rate profile fills in labor, rig, per diem, mileage and standby
  • Signature and printed name captured on the phone screen
  • Photos of the weld, the cap or the damage attached to the ticket
  • Six month continuity clock on every AWS, API and ASME cert
  • Labor versus equipment totals for your tax preparer
  • Everything works in a canyon with no bars

The ticket that gets signed before you leave

A ticket signed on location gets paid. A ticket emailed three days later gets questioned, then sits in an inbox until the next pay run. RigTicket puts the signature step right in the form: hand the phone to the company man, he signs with a finger, you type his name, and it is on the PDF.

That PDF renders on the phone, so you can show it to him right there or AirDrop it before you pull off the pad. No signal needed for any of it.

Rig rate, labor rate and per diem stay apart

Every rate line carries a category. Labor is your time. The rig is equipment. Per diem and mileage are reimbursement. Consumables are materials. Those categories follow the money all the way to the year end report, so when your preparer asks how much of last year was equipment rental, the answer is one screen instead of a shoebox.

Continuity, not just expiry dates

A procedure qualification does not only lapse on a date. It lapses if you go six months without running that process. Most cert trackers only watch the printed expiry, which is how people get turned around at a gate holding a cert that looks current.

RigTicket tracks both. Each welding cert has a continuity log: add the date and process of a qualifying weld and the six month clock resets from that date. The dashboard shows days remaining on every one. More on how continuity works.

Chasing net 30 without chasing paper

Pick the tickets for the week, RigTicket rolls them up by rate line and numbers the invoice. Email it with the PDF attached, or text the link. You can see when they opened it, what is 30, 60 and 90 days out, and send a follow up with one tap.

Questions

Does it work without cell service?

Yes. Tickets, photos and signatures are saved to the phone first and sync when you get signal. Opening the app offline works too, once it is installed on your home screen.

Can I bill different rates for different customers?

Yes. Build a rate profile per customer or per job, and point the job at it. New tickets on that job fill in with those rates.

What about standby and travel days?

They are rate lines like any other, with their own rate and category, so they show separately on the ticket and the invoice.

Does it do my taxes?

No. It gives your preparer a clean record of what you billed, split into labor, equipment, reimbursement and materials. How the rig portion is treated is a conversation with your CPA.
