Proven Solutions for Utility Challenges
Example Use Cases, Success Stories, and Client Engagements
Emergency Response Smart Phone App
Keller Schroeder consultants developed a solution that significantly reduced the time from “enroute” to “made safe”. The process was automated from beginning to end using an integration platform. As soon as Dispatch entered the address, the system looked for the closest available Technician and created and sent a work order to their smart phone. Once the Tech accepted, the phone provided audible driving directions and captured the required time stamps for enroute and on site from the GPS location. When the environment was safe, the Tech tapped a complete button, and the work order was updated in background. The Tech never had to open their laptop!
