Parsippany, NJ, October 14, 2009
- Macrosoft announced today the commercial availability
of Resources on-Demand Version 3.5. Specifically
designed for electric utilities, Resources on-Demand
(RoD) is a multi-user system that manages resource
requests & allocations, tracks personnel movements,
and supports logistics during power outages. RoD
replaces existing manual processes with a comprehensive
application to ensure consistent data integrity
and retrieval by storm centers.
First introduced in 2005, RoD is
being used by leading electric power utilities
with outstanding results. This new release incorporates
voice of the customer feedback, delivering user
configurable grids and improved lodging functionality.
The innovative new Hours Tracking module provides
the following benefits:
- Ability to track crew
work hours on a daily basis
- Estimate crew/equipment
expenditures
- Visualize next day/shift
staffing levels with charts/graphs
- Identify “expensive”
versus “inexpensive” teams
- Reconcile timesheets
and invoices
“The new Hours Tracking module
enables storm managers to monitor the work hours
of the crews in the field. For each day of the
restoration, you can track; when crews are starting,
when they are stopping, when they are due back,
and how much they are costing you”, said
Jason Singer, Director of Macrosoft’s Utilities
Practice. “This allows utilities to efficiently
utilize available crews, while keeping an eye
on costs. Since the system maintains historical
records, it also helps reconcile invoices and
timesheets.”
Intuitive and user-friendly, Macrosoft’s
Resources on Demand provides storm center personnel
with the tool they need to effectively organize
crew & equipment allocations, monitor personnel
availability, and improve the assignment process.
The system leverages historical data and reports
to establish best practices for use during future
events.
