Presenting eVMS the Total Utility Vegetation Management (UVM) System

eVMS is the total UVM solution for companies that are required to manage vegetation near energized power lines. Whether it is vegetation adjacent to distribution power lines, or Transmission Rights-of-way (ROW) work, eVMS was designed and built to address each and every aspect of UVM operations. Most importantly, eVMS was designed to easily adapt to all current UVM program configurations and operations.

eVMS starts by building an accurate model of vegetation adjacent to your transmission and distribution assets. Sourcing tools support your requisition, contract creation and management needs. eVMS provides for paperless creation of your pre-inspection, audit, and tree-crew work orders. eVMS also handles planning and execution of the work in a paperless mode to drive efficiencies throughout the process. When work gets done, eVMS updates the model of your tree inventory and processes the necessary follow-up, e.g., invoices, based on your specific sourcing. While it sounds simple enough, a review of other information on this site will clearly demonstrate how powerful and robust the eVMS system actually is, and how it will benefit any UVM operation.

eVMS satisfies the need for providing a system that can address the myriad tasks that are necessary to effectively manage a UVM program. Some of these include:

• Supply chain management (comprehensive eCommerce tools)
• Vegetation, pole and asset inventories
• Predictive growth modeling
• Scheduling of work
• Inspection and listing of work to be completed
• Assignment and tracking of all required UVM activities
• Tree related outage analysis and tracking
• Ruggedized handheld field devices with integrated GPS
• Wired and wireless work reporting and processing
• Post-auditing of completed work
• Invoicing and invoice reconciliation
