Apex CoVantage Wins 2014 Fierce Innovation Award with ProField® for Mobile Workforce Management
Utilities' recognition is a timely validation as smart meter installations accelerate worldwide
HERNDON, Va., Oct. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A panel consisting of eight major utility executives has awarded Apex CoVantage the 2014 Fierce Innovation Business Side Award for mobile workforce management. This category recognizes innovations in smart grid technologies and programs that promote more effective and forward-thinking ways to enhance utility performance, both in daily operations and in meeting customers' increasingly high service expectations.
Apex's ProField technology -- the smart industry's only integrated ERP solution for mobile workforce management -- edged out other solutions and strategies based on how well it communicates with and manages an increasingly decentralized workforce through the use of mobile devices and other specialized equipment.
All category winners and best in show selections were chosen through a blind judging process in which executives from CenterPoint Energy, Commonwealth Edison, Duke Energy, Florida Power & Light, National Grid, Pacific Gas & Electric Company, Portland General Electric and San Diego Gas & Electric evaluated each submission based on the following criteria: technology innovation, financial impact, market validation, compatibility with existing network environments, end-user customer experience and overall level of innovation.
"We've been singled out by utility executives as the most significant innovation in mobile workforce management," said Shashikant Gupta, Apex CoVantage co-founder and president. "With Europeans watching as metering markets evolve in the United States, we are pleased to see this validation of ProField's relevance. This recognition offers promise for UK retailers looking to manage their installations safely, efficiently and cost effectively."
