Work scheduling
Geographic information is used within scheduling and dispatch processes for:
- Geospatial asset location records
- Vehicle tracking
- Operational support
It enables you to identify the location of all your assets, provides real‑time optimisation such as route planning, reduces the likelihood of teams crossing over regions, and enables the reliable sharing of data for support in operations and incident management.
Field operations
The use of GI within field operations provides:
- accurate referencing, central to safe operations and incident management; and
- avoids damage to third‑party assets, reducing liabilities, and enables noticing compliance.
It provides the ability to receive, complete and update jobs from a customer’s location and feed real‑time edits into a central GIS. This can be linked to work management and customer contact systems, which in turn quickly establish the status of a job, enabling informed customer management.
