Case Study: Colorado Springs Utilities doubles productivity with RouteSmart Technologies

Colorado Springs Utilities doubles hydrant productivity with RouteSmart and saves $160,000

Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) required a routing solution to improve the efficiency of its water hydrant maintenance and gas leak detection programs. The utility needed a system that could integrate with its existing workforce scheduling software to meet the different demands of these critical safety tasks. They partnered with RouteSmart Technologies to address this challenge.

By implementing RouteSmart's routing optimization, CSU doubled its hydrant maintenance productivity, servicing 45-52 hydrants per day compared to the previous 22-26. The solution provided efficient routes delivered directly to crew handheld devices, saving an estimated $160,000. RouteSmart Technologies also helped streamline bare steel pipe inspections, reducing that project's timeline from several months to an anticipated month-and-a-half.
