Dataco Utility Services Streamlines Mobile Work Order Management with Flowfinity

Metering and disconnection service provider boosts productivity in the field and improves customer service

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 10, 2012 - Flowfinity Wireless Inc., a proven provider of enterprise mobile apps for business process automation, today announced the publication of a case study that describes how Dataco Utility Services has achieved cost savings and improved customer service with a Flowfinity mobile solution for work orders and dispatch.

Dataco Utility Services saw the opportunity to automate a manual dispatch system previously used to coordinate technicians in the field who provide metering and disconnection services for major utilities companies. The manual, phone-based system often required field staff to wait on hold to receive and report on jobs, causing inefficiencies.

With Flowfinity software, Dataco has automated dispatch and job reporting on field technicians' smartphones. Technicians receive work orders on their mobile devices, and use Flowfinity mobile forms to report on the actions completed in the field with accurate meter readings and exact service times.

Information submitted to head office is now pre-formatted for reporting, resulting in immediate updates for clients. With this system, Dataco has achieved a competitive advantage by boosting productivity in the field, reducing the workload on their administrative office, and delivering high-quality, cost effective service.

“Our customers are so happy with how fast we turnaround data to them now. With Flowfinity, we are able to provide immediate status reports,” said Leanne Rasberry, Operations Manager, Dataco Utility Services. “Our field technicians really like how efficient the Flowfinity solution made them.”
