Company: Fort McKay Group of Companies
Location: Northern Alberta, Canada
Speaker: Julio Lopez, Fleet Manager
Industry: Oilfield Construction & Services
The Challenge
Fort McKay Group of Companies manages large-scale oil field construction and services operations across Northern Alberta. Thousands of employee time cards move through the business every month.
Before Clue, approvals relied on spreadsheets, emails, and manual review workflows that required entire teams to process.
"Imagine receiving 2,000 spreadsheets that needed to be approved individually in an email. There were entire teams dedicated to that."
Julio Lopez, Fleet Manager
How Clue Helped
Clue replaced the manual approval chain with a connected, automated workflow. What once took teams of people working hours to days now runs on its own.
"Now the system is fully automated, completely automated from beginning to end. We no longer need a person to dedicate hours to days to do that process. It gets done automatically."
Julio Lopez, Fleet Manager
Results
Fort McKay now manages over 2,000 time cards per month with a small crew. Processing time dropped from 20-30 minutes per approval to minutes.
"Normally it used to take about 20 minutes to half an hour. Now it's within minutes. We receive and manage about 2,000 plus time cards per month and it is a very small crew team, and that is done very efficiently today."
Julio Lopez, Fleet Manager
Key Takeaways
Full Automation: A manual, team-heavy approval process is now completely automated.
Time Savings: Individual approvals went from 20-30 minutes to minutes.
Lean Operations: A small team manages 2,000+ time cards per month.

"My opinion, the Clue offering is the only one who can provide that outcome in the most efficient way, in the fastest way."
