Product Information
Utility Partners' MobileUP is divided into two major modules: MobileDispatch and MobileField. Both modules comprise a feature-rich, fully
integrated mobile data system capable of scheduling, routing, dispatching and completing system-generated or regulatory-required service, outage, maintenance/inspection and construction work.
MobileDispatch
MobileUP's versatile MobileDispatch module allows dispatchers to respond immediately to field situations by enabling the fast reallocation of
available resources qualified to work the order. MobileDispatch makes this possible by querying the current assignment status of all service technicians within a certain geographical area, and comparing the skill sets of
technicians from a table-driven database to determine the technician(s) best qualified to perform the work.
MobileField
MobileField allows the field user to view and capture information related to the work. Various features and options support the work process,
providing for the efficient and safe collection of the information.
Bob Letzeisen, Utility Partners' Vice President of Sales said "Prospective MobileUP Clients should contact their account representative at
Utility Partners to discuss special year 2000 fourth quarter pricing for MobileUP, including these new features."
