In the face of electrification, evolving consumer behavior and expectations, sustainability initiatives, regulatory pressures, and geopolitical volatility, oil and gas companies are being challenged to shift their approach and innovate to stay competitive. While there’s a continued focus on the digital experience for customers especially in the downstream sector, companies are also pressured to address ESG policies and reporting from production to transport and sale of their products. The development of plans to utilize emerging technologies with data-driven approaches remains integral, however, they’re executing on these all while weaving through one merger and acquisition after another.
We are excited to announce that Perficient was recently recognized by a leading global technology research and advisory firm’s report highlighting notable oil and gas industry consultancies in the U.S. and Europe. Perficient experts have worked closely with organizations within the industry to overcome challenges and gain a competitive advantage with digital transformation.

Data Analytics and App Development for Improved Worker Safety
Like in many industries, oil and gas companies are not immune to siloed and inaccessible data. We help these organizations access, consolidate, and manage that information easily. We’ve completed numerous projects in app development, such as shift handover applications and integrated many worker safety programs, including a system to monitor gas within trucks without the need to open lids and send personnel onto dangerous catwalks.
Streamlined Transitions Throughout Mergers and Acquisitions
Over the years, we’ve helped oil and gas companies navigate the growing number of mergers and acquisitions in the industry. When one company acquires another, they want system integration as quickly as possible. Post-merger integration, supply chain and logistics, supplier management, and standardizing systems across processes are playbooks we’ve written for not just oil and gas, but every industry we’ve worked in. Further, the abundance of data that occurs due to mergers is something we expertly handle to prevent further siloing.
Cross-Industry Solutions in Oil and Gas
Oil and gas companies are stretching beyond their role as service providers to act as retailers and manufacturers. They are beginning to delve into solutions like loyalty programs and hiring executives from Target and other big box retail environments. Gas stations are now mini supermarkets striving to increase foot traffic and the size of customer baskets. Further, all eyes are on the automotive industry as energy companies are attempting to predict the demand for gasoline and what it would look like to provide electric vehicle charging stations.
Our work across industries has made us a trusted partner and resource for these organizations hoping to build on strategies and insights from other markets. Our inclusion in this report reflects the countless hours devoted to our partnerships and understanding the work that matters to them so that we deliver real results.
