Achievements
A cloud-based Project Management tool was developed for handling such a huge amount of data and handling the Multiple parties involved and the integration of data to provide the Project team with Online Real-Time status of Progress.
A powerful Mobile app for the field workforce to digitally capture data both for Consumer Indexing and Meter Installation.
