High efficiency and accuracy is directly tied to the effective use of technology in today’s fast paced work environment. PPS has found that utilizing custom software for use with Tablet and other handheld devices can deliver the results necessary to manage, track, schedule, and report field information in batch or real-time basis; this is critical step to success of any large-scale program. As an integral part of being fully turnkey, our team links to client systems and feeds information to our field technicians to document the inspection in a fully paperless system. The software reduces human error by utilizing data validation and eliminates double-data entry on the client’s side by sending the information digitally back to the client’s systems. Additionally, clients can gain access to our web-based Utility Management System or UMS which tracks program progress by type and geographic, stores historical inspection information including pictures, and provides mapping overlays of the location.
