Utility teams need to exchange updates while maintaining infrastructure, carrying out repairs and responding to incidents. Workers may be spread across several sites or working independently in the field.
Connect field teams with push-to-talk
Storm’s push-to-talk over cellular enables one-to-one and group voice communication. Teams can share messages, images, videos and files to explain an issue and coordinate the next steps.
Performance depends on suitable network connectivity. Assess coverage in the locations where employees will work, including remote sites, before choosing a setup.
Coordinate work and collect updates
Storm’s workforce management tools include task creation and allocation, forms, checklists and incident reporting. These can help teams organise work and collect updates from employees away from the office.
Support employees working alone
The lone worker solution includes SOS alerts, man down alerting, location tracking and check-ins. Alerts help a control room identify workers who may need assistance and coordinate a response under the organisation’s agreed procedures.
These features support safety arrangements; they do not guarantee safety or automatically ensure an emergency-service response. Employers still need appropriate risk assessments, training and a plan for responding to alerts.
Plan the right setup for your utility team
Discuss user groups, device suitability, coverage, alert handling and any required integrations with Storm. Confirm integration capabilities for your specific systems before relying on them.
