In utilities and field services, your teams are always on the move restoring power, responding to service calls, and maintaining infrastructure. But managing mobile workforce operations without visibility or control? That’s a serious liability.
Whether you’re struggling with missed appointments, inefficient routes, or paperwork bottlenecks, the solution lies in data-driven fleet and workforce management.
At Astreon, we provide more than GPS tracking. We help utility and service providers like you build a connected, paperless, mobile-first ecosystem without the need for expensive hardware.
The Hidden Cost of Disconnected Operations
Utility and field service businesses run on logistics. Whether your teams are fixing power lines, inspecting infrastructure, or handling HVAC calls across a region, your field performance depends on the tools that power it.
Yet most businesses still rely on:
- Manual dispatching and delayed job status updates
- Fuel-heavy routes with little tracking
- Paper forms that slow down invoicing and compliance
- Vehicle breakdowns that could’ve been prevented
- Limited oversight of workforce safety and location
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to reevaluate how you’re managing your fleet and field teams.
What Telematics and Mobile Workforce Solutions Can Do for You
Modern telematics and mobile workforce platforms have become essential for utility and service-based organizations. These tools are no longer “nice to have”—they’re a competitive edge for companies that need to operate efficiently at scale.
With the right telematics and workforce solution, your organization can:
- Gain real-time visibility into vehicles and technicians
- Improve dispatch accuracy and job completion times
- Monitor and reduce fuel waste and idle time
- Digitize field paperwork for faster processing
- Proactively schedule vehicle maintenance and reduce downtime
- Enhance driver safety with behaviour monitoring and reporting
These capabilities help bridge the gap between your field and office operations—delivering the speed, accuracy, and control needed to stay competitive in today’s on-demand service environment.

Real-Time Fleet Visibility Without Hardware Hassles
At the core of any telematics solution is real-time GPS tracking. This technology empowers dispatchers to assign the nearest available vehicle, optimize routing, and reduce delays—all based on live data. The most advanced platforms also allow you to use smartphones as GPS devices, reducing your reliance on costly, hardwired trackers.
Smartphone-based workforce tracking gives field managers greater insight into team location, job progress, and worker safety, without investing in additional hardware. It also ensures that remote, distributed teams remain connected and accountable.
Go Paperless with Mobile Forms
Paper forms are one of the most outdated elements of fleet and field workflows. They’re slow, error-prone, and a bottleneck to getting paid.
With mobile forms, you can digitize any paperwork into dynamic, easy-to-fill forms on smartphones or tablets.
Key benefits:
- Eliminate physical paperwork and manual data entry
- Improve turnaround and invoicing time
- Reduce errors and compliance risks
- Increase productivity with simpler processes
- Go green and streamline communications
What to look for:
- Offline functionality for remote work
- Drag-and-drop customization
- Compatibility across devices and platforms
- Unlimited form capacity to match any process
Reduce Fleet Downtime and Repair Costs
Unplanned breakdowns can grind service operations to a halt. Telematics systems can help prevent these issues by providing automated maintenance alerts based on:
- Engine diagnostics
- Mileage thresholds
- Vehicle usage data
By addressing maintenance proactively, you reduce repair costs, extend asset life, and keep your fleet operational when it matters most.
Take Control of Fuel and Idling
Fuel is one of the highest operating costs for any fleet, and idling can waste up to 1 gallon of fuel per hour.
With the right telematics solution, you can:
- Monitor fuel consumption per vehicle
- Set and enforce idling thresholds
- Review route history to eliminate inefficiencies
- Identify high-cost drivers or vehicles for coaching
By optimizing route efficiency and driver behaviour, you can cut your fleet fuel spend by up to 30%.
Promote Safer Driving and Reduce Liability
Safety is a top concern for utility and field service operators. Driver behaviour tools make it possible to monitor:
- Speeding incidents
- Harsh braking or cornering
- Seatbelt usage
- Mobile distraction or unsafe driving patterns
With personalized driver scorecards and real-time alerts, you can coach better habits, reduce accidents, and lower insurance premiums.
