Who it's for

Electric distribution utilities

Electric distribution utilities face outages from storms, equipment failures and third-party damage, often many at once. Reliability reporting depends on accurate start and restoration times and affected customer counts. Every restoration has to be backed by what the crew actually saw.

How Utility Outage Management is set up for you

One case per outage

Reports from several channels collapse into one case through the external incident ID.

Evidence-backed restoration

Restoration is confirmed from crew evidence such as voltage readings.

Approved incident records

Start, restoration and affected customers approved before they reach reliability reports.

Electric distribution utilities face outages from storms, equipment failures and third-party damage, often many at once. Reliability reporting depends on accurate start and restoration times and affected customer counts. Every restoration has to be backed by what the crew actually saw.

Start with one district's service areas and its open and recent cases. Run triage, evidence review and restoration live through one storm or one month, then add incident record approval.
