Utility companies face thousands of customers without power, downed lines blocking critical roads, hospitals running on backup generators, and pressure from regulators, local officials, and the public to restore service as fast as possible. In that environment, every hour of delay translates directly into lost revenue, public safety risk, and damage to your company’s reputation.

They are racing against a logistics problem that starts the moment the first pole comes down. Every hour of delay in replacing downed poles is another hour that homes, businesses, hospitals, and emergency services go without power.
