Better Fleet Management For Utilities Field Vehicles: How Mobile Technology Can Help

For all utility companies, there is no such thing as acceptable downtime in the field. When electrical grids fail or water mains break, every moment counts.

Customers need basic services restored as quickly as possible; for consumers, this can be a life-threatening situation.
