Identified Challenges in Asset and Work Order Management for Infrastructure Maintenance

The client currently relies on an outdated legacy system that is difficult to support and has diverged from the organization's core philosophies of planning, executing, and controlling work activities. They face challenges in automating complex processes, maintaining data integrity, integrating with other business systems, and supporting field teams with offline capabilities. These issues hinder efficient work planning, execution, and reporting, impacting overall operational effectiveness and scalability.

About the Client
