NISC Offers iVUE-Integrated Asset Tracking Solution From Pedigree Technologies

Wednesday, March 9 2011

(Mandan, N.D) March 9, 2011" Locating, monitoring and protecting fleet and organizational assets is becoming a high priority for many utilities and telecoms. National Information Solutions Cooperative (NISC) and Pedigree Technologies are partnering to provide NISC Members and Customers an integrated solution to track, gauge and maintain the status of mobile and distant assets in a real-time format.

"Our members have been looking for a way to avoid having drivers and technicians waving to each other from the field," said Ryan Larson, Telecom Engineering & Operations Manager at NISC. "By integrating Pedigree's Tag-N-Track" system -- part of its OneView software suite -- into SmartTrackTM, Mobile Workforce and other applicable solutions, we are able to offer utility and telecom organizations the ability to send technicians to the closest event or call in a more efficient manner."

The Pedigree system, when installed, lets iVue users track vehicle and mobile equipment on Google Maps, provides reports on past conditions and usage, get real-time asset information, and receive asset alerts.  
 
"With iVUE, our members and customers can now get increased accuracy in anticipated call times for customers," Larson said. "When waiting for power or telephone service to be restored, for example, time is of the essence."

"NISC understands the value of using an integrated suite of applications and real-time data to run a more efficient service operation," said Alex Warner, CEO of Pedigree Technologies. "The combination of iVUE® and Pedigree Technologies OneView® makes it easy for their customers to monitor and manage more of their operations with a single web-portal."

"Our Pedigree partnership gives Members access to a tested, quality technology solution," Larson said. He added that the relationship between the two organizations will be fluid, continuing to look towards the future to fulfill the needs of Members and Customers. Larson said that NISC will be marketing the service immediately. For more information, contact Ryan Larson at ryan.larson@nisc.coop or by calling 866.WWW.NISC.
