Precision Vegetation Management That Prevents Outages

The NV5 Vegetation Management Platform transforms how utilities identify risks, deploy field teams, and prevent weather-related outages. By fusing LiDAR data, satellite imagery, and real-time field inputs, the system delivers an integrated view of vegetation risks across your entire service area.

The Challenge

Traditional vegetation management leaves utilities reactive—working from outdated data, missing high-risk areas, and losing visibility once crews are in the field. Weather-related outages and extended cycle times drive up costs and customer impact.

Our Solution

For Field Teams: Mobile-first GIS browser app with guided workflows that enable crews to:

View assigned work with precise mapping
Capture photos and field notes on-site
Work offline with automatic sync
Receive dynamic task reassignments

For Operations Managers: Real-time command center providing:

Risk-based encroachment mapping and cut prioritization
Optimized crew scheduling and dispatch
Live progress tracking across all sites
Transition notifications and completion analytics

Technical Foundation

Built for field reliability:

React Native, ArcGIS, HERE Maps
Offline sync architecture.
Assignment workflow engine
Real-time notification system
Autonomous Robot Fleet Coordination: Developing platforms to control and monitor autonomous mobile robot fleets, enhancing operational efficiency.

Impact

Shorter Cycle Times: Streamlined workflows reduce time from identification to completion
Fewer Outages: Risk-based prioritization addresses high-threat areas proactively
Optimized Resources: Live tracking keeps crews productive and responsive
Complete Documentation: Audit trails for regulatory compliance
