GPS Tracking for Utility Operations
Monitor field equipment, service vehicles, and infrastructure assets. Optimize field service dispatch, coordinate emergency response, prevent equipment loss, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Utility Operations Challenges Solved
Address critical operational challenges facing electric, water, gas, and telecommunications utilities.
Field Equipment Location
Utilities manage thousands of specialized tools and test equipment across vast service territories. Equipment gets lost, forgotten at job sites, or taken home. Without tracking, utilities continuously purchase replacements while existing equipment sits unused.
Emergency Response Coordination
During storms, outages, and emergencies, utilities must rapidly mobilize hundreds of crews. Without real-time visibility, response coordination is chaotic, customers remain without service longer than necessary, and resources are poorly allocated.
Tool and Vehicle Tracking
Field crews use bucket trucks, trenchers, fault locators, test equipment, and specialty tools costing millions. Loss, theft, and poor accountability result in continuous equipment replacement and operational inefficiencies.
Infrastructure Monitoring
Substations, pump stations, remote facilities, and critical infrastructure require constant oversight. Without remote monitoring, utilities depend on periodic manual inspections that can miss developing issues until failures occur.
Crew Accountability
Dispatchers struggle to identify closest available crews for service calls across vast territories, resulting in excessive drive time, delayed response, and reduced productivity. Real-time crew visibility is essential for efficient dispatch.
Regulatory Compliance
Public utility commissions mandate response time tracking, maintenance documentation, safety zone compliance, and operational reporting. Manual compliance documentation is resource-intensive and error-prone.
Utility Tracking Capabilities
Comprehensive features for field service, emergency response, and infrastructure monitoring.
Real-Time Crew Location
GPS tracking of all field vehicles and crews enables intelligent dispatch, closest-crew routing, and comprehensive coordination improving field service efficiency 20-35%.
Emergency Dispatch
Rapid mobilization of restoration crews during outages with automated dispatch, mutual aid coordination, and progress monitoring reducing mean time to restore 30-50%.
Equipment Accountability
Track specialized tools, test equipment, and vehicles across field crews and facilities. Automated accountability eliminates losses typically costing $100K-$1M+ annually.
Service Verification
GPS-verified service completion, digital proof of work, customer signature capture, and timestamp documentation eliminate disputes and ensure quality.
Outage Response Coordination
Integration with outage management systems showing affected areas, crew assignments, restoration progress, and estimated restoration times for comprehensive emergency management.
Maintenance Tracking
Monitor infrastructure assets with sensor-based condition monitoring enabling proactive maintenance that prevents failures and extends equipment lifespans.
Compliance Documentation
Automated response time tracking, maintenance activity logs, safety zone compliance verification, and regulatory reporting reducing manual documentation 70%+.
Integration with Work Order Systems
Connect GPS tracking with SCADA, OMS, CMMS, and work order systems for unified operations eliminating data silos and manual transfers.
