RigUp – Leading the energy industry to the future with innovative technology

Vendor management is the process that empowers an organization to take appropriate measures for controlling cost, reducing potential risks related to vendors, ensuring excellent service deliverability, and deriving value from vendors in the long-run. This includes researching the best suitable vendors, sourcing and obtaining pricing information, gauging the quality of work, managing relationships in case of multiple vendors, evaluating performance by setting organizational standards, and ensuring that the payments are always made on time. A vendor management system is an online web-based tool that acts as a single node to manage all vendor related activities in any organization or business while ensuring improved efficiency and long-term growth in a cost-effective manner.

RigUp is a digital vendor management platform that brings modern workforce and vendor management to underserved industries and is one of the fastest-growing companies in Austin. RigUp initially focused on the energy industry empowering contract workers in oil and gas, solar, and wind to take home more pay for the same work, with better insurance and benefit options. The RigUp solution has expanded into equipment and vendor management and on-demand, app-based service fulfillment, bringing cost savings and operational efficiencies to energy companies across the United States. The recent expansion will bring the platform to additional energy-adjacent industries that rely on contract labor. As a world-class employer, the firm is committed to providing an environment where any people feel welcome, respected, and free to be their authentic selves.

On top of that, add in on-site verification, task completion confirmation, and 30+ day invoicing, and one task can turn into months of phone calls and paperwork. It's time for a change.
