About Alatrac
Addressing the Challenges of Conducting Regulatory Inspections
Alatrac data collection software was built to handle the specific challenges of regulatory inspections being conducted by a remote workforce.
As a utility services contractor performing nationwide utility pole inspections for the last 15 years, we have firsthand experience with the process and its challenges. Alatrac was created to address those challenges. Built from the ground up for efficiency and accuracy, it serves as the foundation of our own extensive inspection operations. Our Utility Services team conducts over 500,000 inspections annually, and Alatrac is the engine that empowers us to support our large client base with verified critical regulatory data.
Logistical Problems
Coordinating access to utility poles in remote, hard-to-reach locations, dense urban areas or private properties is often challenging. Collecting inspection data electronically in outlying areas lacking cell coverage and internet connectivity can also be problematic.
Distributed Workforce
The utility pole inspection process relies on a workforce that is frequently unsupervised and spread out over a wide area. Issues related to miscommunication, technological challenges, and accountability and trust can arise. These problems have real potential to compromise your critical data.
Costs and Liabilities
Your liability is directly tied to the quality of your data. Can you trust the data of the remote workforce that collected it? Bad data can endanger utility workers, lead to public safety hazards, regulatory fines, increased insurance premiums, and the expense of having to re-do part or all of your inspections.
