Challenges in Field Operations

Time Consuming and Slow Process

Paper Maps – collect from office –submit to office

Paper Maps not up-to-date

Difficulty in locating right assets and property

No guidance for optimal route

No information on weather and traffic

Supervisor Control

Delayed reporting of field users to the office

Delays in information update to corporate server and subsequent actions

Management

No control or monitoring of work hours of field workers

Delays in information update to corporate server and subsequent actions

Operational Cost very high

Day in a life of field user!

What are the work orders for the Day?

What are the actual location of the work orders?

What is my current location on map?

What are possible routes to reach the WO location from current location?

Can I attach the photo or video file with asset?

Can I collect the data in offline mode and sync the data to server once connected?

What is the current traffic and weather update at work order location?

Can I see the engineering document attached to asset?
