RiConnect Appoints Holloway Houston in Americas

Holloway will supply RiConnect’s full SaaS offering to the oil and gas, construction, and other markets across North and South America from its strategically located facility in Houston, Texas. It will complement the company’s established ranges of below-the-hook, wire rope, chain, and rigging products.

Holloway, which employs 200 people, manufactures and stocks the best quality lifting and rigging equipment, including hardware from the industry’s most respected brands, such as Kito Crosby, William Hackett, Royal Van Beest and YOKE, in addition to state-of-the-art load monitoring technologies. The company also has a world-class testing facility. Holloway has served hundreds of clients from different industries for more than 40 years.

RiConnect is dedicated to simplifying and digitalizing the processes around compliance and traceability for equipment management. It has pioneered utilization of radio frequency identification (RFID) chips, allowing end users of lifting and other equipment to keep up with pre-use checks and unique identification numbers. By moving to paperless systems, companies can improve the accuracy of maintenance, safety checks, incident reports, and regulatory compliance, while ensuring seamless information sharing.

Offline mode

Holloway’s customers will find RiConnect’s offline mode to be a particularly interesting feature. The function allows use of the system — for pre-use checks, maintenance, asset registration, hosting register, and inspections — even without an internet connection. This reflects RiConnect’s strategic focus to address the connectivity challenges faced by industries operating in remote or offshore environments, ensuring seamless compliance management even in offline conditions.

Stevedores, construction workers, and oil and gas professionals will note that Compliance, Traceability, Status, and Net Zero have become the established cornerstones of RiConnect, as it simplifies and digitalizes the processes around compliance and traceability for equipment management.
