Customers are demanding this type of information delivery channelCustomers using smartphones can simply click on the “Report Power Outages” link/button on your website, a link in an email you've sent them, or even a link in a TXT/SMS message. This opens their browser at m.outagereporter.net and the Outage Reporter application displays just as shown above, but with your logo/branding! It's your app!
Outage Reporter will automatically work out where the customer is located and they can then submit outage reports.
The customers don’t have to download or install anything! They don’t need their account number or PIN (who can remember or has those details right there during an outage when it’s pitch black anyway…). Customers can also save the URL link as a favourite in their mobile browser for easy access later.
The AOR mobile application will connect to your Avalanche system and match the suburb/location to the Avalanche list of reported outages. Simply enter the URL location detailed in Avalanche (refer to your manual) into the boxes under AOR Advanced Settings on the AOR website.
There are existing interfaces between all Avalanche modules and the really good news is that if you are using an existing TVD product then those interfaces most likely already exist in your product version. You can either set it up yourself, or just give your contact at TVD a call to discuss.
We work with Utilities all over the world and have specific domain expertise and experience in the area of Operations Management around power outage events. We thought it would be interesting, and kind of cool to develop an app which every utility and their consumers could use, and get immediate benefit from and prove up how useful these tools can be to introduce, and operate. It's part of taking our industry forward.
So, consider the pedigree it comes from, and try it. If you then think it’s not useful we’d love to hear why, and your thoughts to make it more useful!
