How IOUs use Fulcrum to standardize contractor workflows

Contractor networks often document field work through a fragmented mix of tools, reporting methods, and formats. Inconsistency makes progress difficult to track and work challenging to verify across different vendors. When every crew follows a unique process, utilities lose clear visibility into field execution and spend more time coordinating documentation than managing program performance.

Investor-owned utilities (IOUs) enforce standardized workflows under a single digital framework so every crew follows the same operational processes and documentation standards.

The challenge of managing networks at scale

Large contractor networks introduce coordination hurdles that complicate field execution and documentation. Common issues identified in the resource include:

• Inconsistent field workflows across various contractors.
• Documentation captured in incompatible formats.
• Limited visibility into active contractor activity and work progress.
• Difficulty evaluating performance across different vendors.

Drive consistent field execution

Digital workflows guide crews through required steps and documentation while ensuring every contractor captures information in a structured format. By deploying requirements across the entire network, utilities maintain centralized control over workflows while contractors perform work across various regions.

Download the data sheet to learn how to:

• Enforce procedural compliance with automated validation rules that prevent incomplete records.
• Link contractor activity to assets through integrated mapping and geospatial tracking.
• Centralize data management so operations, GIS, and compliance teams access the same structured data.
• Verify required procedures to support regulatory compliance and audits.
