Rivitt on Oil and Gas Startups
06/24/24 • 44 min
Jake’s catching up with Clay and Miles from Rivitt, and let’s just say, a lot’s changed since they last stopped by. What started as rubber maids and DIY sensors has evolved into Rivitt’s fully wireless, real-time data delivery system that’s transforming how oil and gas gets things done. These guys flipped the typical model—while old-school companies made clients adapt to their platforms, Rivitt delivers raw, real-time data straight to their clients' clouds, empowering teams to build exactly what they need, no extra steps. Picture McDonald’s smooth inventory system, but for oil and gas operations: operators can automate logistics, anticipate needs, and run seamlessly. And with Rivitt’s upcoming Pulse product, the game’s only leveling up—visual data, centralized communication, and customizable event detection rules all in one. It’s the kind of tech leap that’s shaking things up for a new generation ready to bring the industry into the future.
