The setting
Two hundred kilometres of sea between the platform and the nearest road. Satellite bandwidth measured in kilobits. Supply vessels that left Lagos a week ago. This is not a maintenance system for a tidy onshore plant. It keeps an asset safe and running where the smallest unplanned outage costs six figures before the helicopter lands.
The decision
The usual move was a vendor from Houston or Oslo. Century Energy did what few operators in its position do: it looked hard at the option built in Lagos. The brief was unforgiving — replace a forty-year-old CMMS, bring decades of history across without losing any of it, and never disturb live production.
The migration
Failure codes had drifted over decades. Each new superintendent had pruned and regrafted the equipment tree. Permits pointed to procedures that pointed to standards that no longer existed. ISO 14224 gave the target structure. AI did the first pass on the messy translation; where a machine would have lost the meaning, the team matched records by hand. Nothing was thrown away.
The renewal
After the first term, Century Energy renewed the licence. Nobody renews software they only put up with. NoteOpX is now the facility’s live record for its assets, work orders, permits, crew and materials — and a second licence, OML-120, is in evaluation.
Senior engineers could trace failure histories on twenty-year-old equipment more easily in NoteOpX than in the system that had been collecting that history all along.
The conditions we work in
Real conditions. Not a test bench.
We built it where software has the hardest time, so it works anywhere. If it copes with a slow satellite link offshore, customs clearance at Apapa and buying in four currencies, an onshore plant in Europe is easy.
Bandwidth
Works on a 64–256 kbps VSAT link. Only changes travel, bulk data waits for quiet hours, and the AI runs on the device.
Connectivity gaps
Hours without a link, not seconds. Your crew still run work orders and permits on the device, and safety-critical data syncs first.
Local content
Built in Nigeria and NOGICD-compliant. Support comes from Lagos, awake when the fleet is.
Customs
Apapa, Form M, PAAR and SONCAP are built into logistics from the start — not patched on later.
Currency
Buy in EUR, GBP, USD and NGN in one purchasing round, with live exchange rates and mobile money through Plugg.
Workforce
The Experience Bank captures what your senior engineers figured out the hard way — before they retire.

We don’t trade your name for a badge.
Incident histories, costs and audit findings aren’t marketing material. We share references under NDA, straight to your reliability, finance and security people — and we can set up a call with the operator.
Your next step
Put NoteOpX on your own asset.
A 30-minute call. Bring part of your equipment register. We’ll rank it by criticality, then follow one warning sign from the sensor to the cost on your books — on your own tags.
Nothing falls through.
