Cell towers down. Power out across three counties. Thirty crews deployed and more mutual aid rolling in. Most software fails exactly when you need it most. Vector doesn't.
When cellular goes down, your OMS can't see who's where. Dispatch loses visibility exactly when coordination matters most.
Status updates, location check-ins, assignment changes — all competing for the same congested frequencies. Critical messages get lost in the noise.
Contract crews and mutual aid partners show up ready to work, but they can't see your ops picture and you can't see them. Precious hours lost getting everyone on the same page.
When digital tools fail, it's back to paper maps, whiteboards, and verbal updates. Your million-dollar systems become expensive paperweights.
Vector is built offline-first. Your crews sync with each other directly, device to device, even when cell towers are down and cloud services are unreachable.
Every crew's location, status, and current assignment is visible to dispatch and to each other, even in dead zones. Dispatchers monitor from Vector's web interface at the command center, while field crews use the iOS app. Crew breadcrumbs and movement history are recorded automatically, giving you a complete record of where every crew has been for post-storm accountability, regulatory reporting, and operational review.
Register and track vehicles, equipment, and materials across your operation. Bucket trucks, digger derricks, generators, pole trailers, and mobile substations are all visible on the shared map with real-time status. Drag-and-drop assignment lets dispatchers quickly allocate assets to crews and work orders, and when assignments change, status propagates automatically across all devices.
Push work orders, route updates, and priority changes directly to crews' devices. Status updates flow back automatically. Save the radio for what matters: emergency traffic and coordination calls.
Contract crews and mutual aid partners scan a QR code and they're in your ops picture immediately. No accounts to create, no training required, no IT involvement. They see what they need to see; you see where they are.
Vector syncs device-to-device using peer-to-peer mesh networking — no server infrastructure, no access points, no additional hardware. When cell towers are down and cloud services are unreachable, your crews still have the complete operational picture. When any device regains a signal, everyone's data propagates automatically.
Vector doesn't have to replace your OMS or dispatch system; it's the field coordination layer that keeps crews connected when those systems can't reach them. Sync work orders, crew status, and outage tickets bidirectionally so dispatch and management always have the complete picture, even when crews are working beyond cellular range.
Import substation locations, transmission and distribution infrastructure, circuit maps, and real-time outage status directly into Vector. Crews see affected areas, equipment locations, and restoration progress on the shared map, even offline. Supports GeoJSON, GPX, and custom data feeds so your field teams have the complete grid picture wherever the job takes them.
