Houston Stormwater: Operations crew used paper maps and paper forms

Paper maps are cumbersome to produce, expensive, and the updates are infrequent. Plus they are not dynamic.

Paper-based processes can be error prone, need back office data entry, may be lost, have storage costs, can cause compliance and audit issues, and have poor access.

Internet based mapping applications are unreliable and fail to deliver when needed, especially in emergency situations. Plus cost of data plan can be outrageous.

Lost productivity in searching assets and calling office staff to locate assets using GIMS

Houston Stormwater: Value Proposition

Unlocks the potential of spatial data in field operations by making it mobile, accessible anytime and anywhere, to solve critical challenges that face modern utilities

Increases field crew productivity and safety, reduces maintenance/operations cost and data security risks

Permits infrastructure management as well as immediate updating of infrastructure assets in the field with or without internet access

Replaces expensive paper maps and paper-based workflow with easy to use, GPS-enabled maps on mobile devices and electronic forms

Houston Stormwater: The Productivity Gain

An operator using paper maps on average

conducted an investigation in 45 minutes but with

FieldMap the average investigation was reduced to

25 minutes.

Through the course of the 4 day work week (9.5

hour per day) the operator conducted 62

investigations per week with FieldMap as opposed

to 35 investigations using other methods.

FieldMap almost doubled productivity in one

week for an operator.

Comments from Early Adopters“FieldMap Pro has become our group’s primary mapping and data collection solution for locating assets and performing field inspections and maintenance activities.  It is a direct, simple, and user-friendly application. We are excited about the current implementation of FieldMap Pro as well as the tasks it will allow us to accomplish in the future.”

“FieldMap has been a game changer for us. It has helped eliminate 60 paper map books that required monthly updates. Our technicians now have access to accurate and up-to-date always offline asset data in seconds – particularly critical to us in outage situations where split second decisions need to be made.”

“There are regions within the NJ Transit Service Area that do not have adequate 4G or WiFi coverage and no other solution provides such high quality offline map. The New Jersey street grid is very dense and complicated. The quality map presentations of FieldMap improves efficiencies by reducing ambiguous map interpretation by our surveyors.”

Glenn Newman, Director GIS-Transportation NJ Transit

“My guys go out with their iPads, immediately locate the cleanout with no connectivity, and make the repair. The case is closed within hours with one trip and one call.”
