Case Study: SL-serco achieves major efficiency gains by combining legacy and new data with Trimble TerraFlex Advanced

A service provider for utilities sees real productivity gains through integrating old and new data

SL-serco, a St. Anthony, Minnesota service provider that coordinates maintenance and audits of AMI and AMR systems for utilities, faced inefficiencies because its mobile GIS workflow could not combine legacy records with newly collected data. Field crews relied on electronic collection and GPS but were limited by the inability to attach new meter events to existing records and optimize routes.

By adopting the Trimble TerraFlex Advanced mobile app, SL-serco implemented customizable forms, offline data capture with cloud sync, manual geo-referencing, and the ability to import and append prior data to existing assets. The result was faster, more accurate audits and repairs, improved routing from GPS-based sequencing, fewer field support calls, and measurable productivity gains across more jobs.
