Contractors wait longer for the information they need.
Communications and escalation become harder to manage consistently.

Screen incoming tickets automatically using GIS data, asset information and your established business rules.
Send customized responses automatically, giving contractors relevant asset information and instructions without waiting for manual review.
Assess risk using ticket, GIS and asset data to help determine which requests need further attention.
Remove repetitive screening and distribution tasks so staff can spend more time communicating with contractors and protecting assets.
Automatically route tickets and communications to the systems, teams or individuals responsible for taking the next action.
Configure spatial queries, risk scenarios, response rules and workflows around your infrastructure and operational requirements.
