The Clevest solution not only exactly met Clark County REMC's needs of today ‐ AVL for a distribution coop ‐ but also provides the flexibility to grow into the future. Once we deployed Clevest we were able to track the location of our vehicles and crews so much more easily. With the seamless integration to our [outage management] system, we are now able to know with certainty that we are safely re‐energizing lines after repairing an outage, without having to make an extended series of phone or radio calls to determine the location of other crews. — Dave Barton, Manager of Operations and Engineering, Clark County REMC

For AEP, using the Clevest solution has been like being vaulted into the modern world from the dinosaur age. To move from paper cards, a communications black hole with the field and reams of paper reports to a Windows-based, wireless solution for rerouting and meter reading was like the sun coming up in a cloudless sky. And we didn't have to change how we ran the business to realize incredible gains in field productivity and crew safety from the solution. Over the years, we've seen other products and there's just no comparison. It's without a doubt the easiest, simplest and most user-friendly system we've ever had—and I've been with the company for over 25 years—before we even had PCs. — Rick Parker, Supervisor – Customer Services Field Operations, AEP

Clevest helped us improve the ease and reliability of capturing data in the field. In addition to increasing the efficiency in engineering and operations, we are also realizing benefits in customer service and billing by reducing the errors and costs from inaccurate and missing data. — Tammy Nolan, Supervisor, Consumer Accounts, Cuivre River Electric Cooperative

We have been using this solution for almost 10 years and have found it to be an invaluable tool to manage our workflow, especially now as we install AMR meters and our route structure is constantly changing. — Joel Hutson, Meter Reading Supervisor, TECO Energy

The AVL solution really helps us improve our responsiveness. We know exactly where our employees are, what they are working on, and how long different jobs take. When a customer calls in with an emergency, we can see at-a-glance on the map who is closest to a situation and is able to respond the quickest. In a way, before the AVL solution, we were blind and at the mercy of unreliable cell and radio coverage to communicate. Now we have full visibility into the location and activities of all of our vehicles and wireless communication means we're always connected, which lets us act much more quickly in the field. It's a great tool! — Douglas Stafford, Gas Construction/O&M Supervisor, NYSEG
